Senate Campaign Spokesman Former Federal Reserve Bank Consultant

Jamie Radtke
According to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission, the Jamie Radtke campaign paid former Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond consultant Chuck Hansen to act as their campaign spokesperson. Until recently, the Radtke campaign was publishing press releases with him as the campaign contact.
The self-described motivational speaker, humorist, and writer presents a very impressive showcase of clients on his website; Capital One, the Virginia Lottery, PhilipMorrisUSA, amongst others but also lists the 67th Governor of Virginia as a former employer. Radtke for Senate, Inc. dropped approximately $39,414 in a period of ten months on Mr. Hansen, in turn defining him as a high-ranking campaign official.
While the pattern of serial hypocrisy from Ms. Radtke continues to evolve it really isn’t all that surprising. Take into consideration the main themes of the her campaign; to ‘End the Fed’, stop wasteful government spending/eliminate the nation’s debt, and to stop George Allen from becoming the Republican nominee on June 12th. Rappahannock Republic has managed to present pretty solid evidence that Jamie Radtke appears to be saying one thing and doing another when it comes to running for office.
Whether if its blowing donor dollars on frivolous items or hiring leftovers from your adversary’s gubernatorial administration, vetting political staffers is a biggie and Ms. Radtke’s candidacy is a display of amateur hour politicking at best.
Republican Senate Candidate Collects $51k from Campaign

Jamie Radtke
Former Chairman of the Federation of Virginia Tea Party Patriots and U.S. Senate candidate Jamie Radtke collected a total of $51,032 from the Radtke for Senate, Inc. committee according to campaign finance reports as filed with the Federal Election Commission.
Of the $51,032 Ms. Radtke was reimbursed for, approximately $20,071 was claimed as mileage by the candidate herself. Ms. Radtke also reported five claims of $141 for phone charges and in turn collected $705.
Even though the Radtke for Senate committee is in the red for $42,850 Ms. Radtke seems to have profited off of her campaign, literally. After subtracting loans made to the campaign by the candidate and the $51,032 of claims, there is a surplus of $18,070.
To break it down even further, it has been 458 days since Jamie Radtke filed papers to run for the U.S. Senate, in that time she received roughly $111 per day in reimbursements. -There was even $198 charged to the Radtke campaign for Red Lobster!
If you’ve financially supported Jamie Radtke for Senate, you really ought to give her campaign office a call at (804) 451-5985 ext. 4 (Accounting) and demand a refund of your donation. In fact, nine people already have, saving $1,055 from Ms. Radtke’s pocketbook.
Leading Democratic Blog Downgrades Angry Edd Houck’s Election Chances to “Toss-Up”
You know things are going bad for the Houck re-election campaign team when you have a liberal blog, The Daily KOS, marking up the Houck-Reeves race as a “toss-up” four-and-a-half months out from election day. Link here. This isn’t the first survey, poll, or pundit to indicate they think Houck’s dynasty is closing fast. The Washington Post called the race “hotly contested” recently, and at least three Democratic Virginia blogs, have hosted polls and surveys that indicated their readers want a change in leadership this election in Virginia’s 17th Senate District.
It’s bad when your own side is writing you off. But a 28-year run is nothing to be ashamed of. Edd has had it real good since the 1980′s, and maintains a stockpile of lobbyists’ election cash to ward off contenders.

The eternal victim, "Angry Edd Houck" may be coming after you next for the blame! Keep an eye out for the baby-blue signs of frustration and anger as his campaign flounders.
Army veteran and small business owner Bryce Reeves, Houck’s only known challenger to date, is certainly the underdog financially but that has not stopped Edd Houck from begging his supporters via email blasts for any amount they can spare.
Houck currently boasts a commanding 4.5:1 lead in on-hand cash as we head into the heavy part of the campaign season. What does he need so much cash for? He has left over marketing materials on hand and free campaign space (next door to struggling rent paying, tax paying, job-creating small businesses we should note.)
Houck has made it a fundraising mission to cry foul at every opportunity including citing this blog as unfairly characterizing his unwavering funding support of Planned Parenthood (the nation’s largest abortion chain), and linking it to the child sex-slave industry (to which it is unmistakably tied to in undercover videos of late.) Houck goes on at meetings and his transparent “meet-n-greets” (codeword for fundraiser) regularly about how he is “attacked” by the right-wing conspirators, his opponent (not true), the conservative media boogeyman, and of course Republicans— at every moment.
So Edd does what most liberals do to retaliate, he gets ANGRY! But are these crocodile tears aimed at getting support, sympathy and what every liberal loves best: more of other people’s MONEY? You betcha.
Houck has teamed up with a local land developer to get free rent and set up a campaign headquarters on Courthouse Road in Spotsylvania County about a mile from the Reeves HQ. In 28 years of holding the office, Edd has never needed a base of operations. He won year after year without much organization or any ground game. He used lobbyists money to purchase a slew of direct mail and radio ads, and he basically phoned it in. He must be really nervous this year though.
His record of raising taxes at every opportunity and redistributing the wealth of working Virginians to special interest groups and causes may have finally caught up with him. The money is running out as the working families simply don’t produce enough tax income for the appetite of a ever-expanding government payroll. This has left a void in promises versus delivery for Edd Houck and his traditionally supportive groups that he’s taken for granted like teachers and firemen for example.
He hasn’t been able to deliver lately, and teachers are not happy with him. Indeed, firefighters, police/sheriff, farmers and even college students are proactively coming to check out the Reeves campaign offices on a regular basis and voicing their concerns about their current senator. What they appreciate is that they receive straight-talk and not a hollow politician’s-promise. Most leave with a bumper sticker and yard sign. Some are still on the fence, but all have had one positive constituent experience under their belt.
Edd Houck has hired a professional campaign manager all the way from Arkansas to do his heavy lifting. Oddly enough, this campaign manager paid to attend a Reeves fundraiser and stayed all day… either spying to size up the competition, or looking for a future job perhaps. Maybe this is why Angry Edd needs more of your money?
In every election of his in 28 years, Angry Edd has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars *attacking* his opponents by bombarding voters with slick glossy mail ads, normally containing cartoon lampoons of his opponents in the final 3-4 weeks. You heard it here first folks.
Edd cannot survive this election without attacking his opponent mercilessly …an Army veteran, church deacon, former police detective and small business owner.
Edd Houck wants you to know that he is a victim of free speech and the First Amendment, and he needs your money because bloggers are beating him up in cyberspace. And this requires cash to combat apparently, though this entry cost me nothing to share with you.

Democrat State Senator Edd Houck Attacks Opponents Invoking Bible Scripture?
…more from the Hypocrisy Magazine weekly section featuring career politician, Senator Edd Houck (D-VA17) on his 28-year rant against anyone who opposes him. Christians everywhere who hear this are saddened by Edd’s selfish invokation of the Bible’s true message.
But Edd Houck will stop at nothing to tear apart his opponents, even WHEN THEY ARE DEMOCRATS.
Sourced: Bearing Drift Blog Feb 23, 2011
Generally, when a public figure wants to go the religious-route the stereotype is that it’s a social conservative advocating for life (which, by the way, is awesome).
However, I never pegged Sen. Edd Houck (D-Spotsylvania) as an evangelizer.
I would be wrong.
Today, near the end of session, Senator Houck spoke on a point of personal privilege.
A witness tells me that Houck berated those who voted for the House budget, saying that they ignored Christ’s admonition in Mark’s gospel to “suffer the little children to come unto me” by cutting funding for the Virginia Preschool Initiative (VPI), public broadcasting, and for supporting school choice, etc. He also questioned whether those who support school choice, but not VPI, really care about education or the best interests of children.
Needless to say, this intentionally antagonistic rhetoric was responded to. In the case, by Sen. Mark Obenshain (R-Harrisonburg):
Suffer the little children to… attend state-supported preschool? We see our share of debates on social and moral issues in the Senate, and it’s rare for members to make direct religious appeals on even the most charged of these, so you can imagine my surprise when Senator Edd Houck (D-Spotsylvania) invoked Christ’s words to condemn everyone who voted for the House budget on the grounds that it provides modest school choice support, and it reduces funding for Public Broadcasting and for Governor Tim Kaine’s signature Pre-K program.
My guess is that among those who will share my surprise will be his eight Democratic House colleagues who voted for the House budget – Kenny Alexander, Mamye BaCote, Bob Brink, Rosalyn Dance, Algie Howell, Johnny Joannou, Jim Scott, Lionell Spruill, and Onzlee Ware.
Oh well. We are in the final days of budget negotiations, so the rhetoric will probably continue to soar.
Personally, I love public broadcasting, but I had no idea of the religious connotations!
Less than 48 hours. I pray cooler heads prevail and we have “sine die.”
Edd Houck Cries Foul for Your Cash- Will Your Hungry Family Fall For It? Reward Offered for Return of Dignity to this Office
In a transparently false email laced with half-truths of accomplishment and misleading denial, Edd Houck has cried victim of scurrilous blogging, against free speech, and denies his record of voting and loose ties to the abortion and sex slave industries.
Why he kicked a sleeping tiger for a few dollars is anyone’s guess. I had already grown bored of him and was contemplating retiring from blogging and bothering with such seemingly unchanging systems such as our political structure. Thanks to Edd, it hit me that that’s what he wants— to bully and push dissenters out of the arena of debate and discussion, and to silence free speech… and by association, his opposition!
If anyone should be asking for money, it should be my eye doctor because after looking at this header graphic (below) that he sent around with the crying wolf email, I may need a new pair of glasses! In no possible way can Edd claim he “needs” money, his PAC has more than $430,000 sitting in it right now.
Notice how he says, “our positive vision” below… who is he referring to? You? or the dozens of Richmond lobbyists and PACs who fund his campaigns in exchange for favors?
I’m honored he sent a few new readers to our blog though, but it’s GAME ON now Edd.
Senator Houck Needs Your Help Now!
… it is unfortunate that my opponent in this year’s election has chosen to start his campaign with an intensive campaign of negative attacks against me and my record of accomplishment in newspapers and internet blogs throughout the district.
In fact, I have been accused by one of my opponent’s paid political consultants of “helping to fund the sex slave industry.” If you don’t believe that I would be attacked in this manner, check out this link.
If you agree that there is no place in our region and state for these kinds of smears and unethical campaign tactics, please consider a donation. In view of my opponent’s early attacks and distortions, it is critical that I begin raising money now to articulate our positive vision for Virginia.
Your donation in the amount of $1,000, $500, $250, $100, or any amount will help me to print brochures and yard signs, purchase media advertising and communicate my record of accomplishment in what will certainly be a very expensive and competitive campaign.
You can make a secure online contribution at https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/19395.
Or you can mail your check, payable to “Friends of Senator Edd Houck,” to P.O. Box 7, Spotsylvania, VA 22553.
I am deeply grateful for your friendship and support. With best wishes and warm regards, I remain
Sincerely,
R. Edward Houck”
FACT: Edd Houck supports the taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion chain.
FACT: Planned Parenthood is a bigoted organization that is exposed on camera repeatedly in harboring and profiting from illegal actions including rape and the sex slave industry.
FACT: Edd Houck gave a public presentation in February, 2011 and included a member of Planned Parenthood at his table as a helper he referred to as “my staff”.
FACT: Edd Houck is holding back more than $430,000 in existing campaign funds on-hand. He doesn’t need any money for anything. That’s more than what his past two opponents spent against him combined.
FACT: Edd Houck is asking people to give money via Act Blue, a George Soros funded shell company for the liberal left agenda that includes big government, more taxes, and less freedom for your family. George gets a cut of what you donate. Nice huh?
FACT: Edd Houck has spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in every election in the past two decades sending out false, accusatory, and slanderous campaign propaganda through a bulk mail house in Richmond attacking his opponents. If you’ve lived in his district, you’ve received these. Remember the cartoon 11X17 glossy mailers lampooning his opponent as a toll-booth raiser or The Grinch? He sent out nearly one each day during the last week of every campaign to tens of thousands of homes. This is what he wants your money for.
FACT: His self-described “accomplishments” include raising your taxes 13 times in one day’s worth of voting; getting decreasingly less money each year from Richmond back to our area than we send in for schools, roads, police and fire services; taking money from a consulting job while he chairs the committees that vote on issues that directly affect those employers; funding the abortion industry- specifically Planned Parenthood who is directly tied to supporting the sex slave business and racist eugenic policies today.
FACT: “R. Edward Houck” is not the moniker he usually uses in his notes to friends. Is he worried you’ll Google “Edd Houck” and learn something he’s ashamed of?
FACT: He accuses his latest opponent of “negative attacks against me and my record of accomplishment in newspapers and internet blogs throughout the district.” As far as I can find, his opponent has done NO SUCH THING. I am not his opponent. I am his constituent. I have shone light on his record of tax-hiking, liberal spending, abortion funding, PAC-money grabbing, back-room dealing, cronyism, and previous attacks of HIS against ALL of his opponents, past AND PRESENT … and will continue to do so. The voters have a right to know about Edd Houck’s REAL agenda and how he REALLY works behind the scenes. Just watch as he asks mindless minions to begin attacking this blog in the comments section, and notice the tones and style including “Edd is such a nice guy and a victim, how dare you, you bastard!” that will come out soon in letters to the editor and comments on blogs…
FACT: Edd Houck is worried that you’ll do research on his voting record before the upcoming Democratic Primary time frame (either June or August) and will give your vote and money to his opponent. This is why he falsely uses the term “conservative” in as many talking sound bites as he can and regularly attempts to align himself with Republican’s votes and initiatives. He’s not even staying loyal to his liberal roots in a transparent attempt to win independent votes in a race that his opponent is sure to be more left-wing oriented.
FACT: Edd Houck lied in the above email to his unsuspecting donor base. I am not a paid political consultant for anyone in this year’s race. Edd Houck is my VA Senator and nearby neighbor. He is doing a lousy job as my elected official by most reasonable standards of measure. I’m a conservative, he is nothing of the sort.
“Anyone but Edd Houck Reward Offered” = I will offer $10,000 of in-kind political consulting services during the primary season to help any Democrat who wishes to run against him in this year’s Democratic primary including the two Spotsylvania men and one woman from Orange who are gathering support right now and have already spoken to me about this (you know who you are, I’m not certain if you’ve announced yet). The first one to respond gets my help.
… Now if I was a paid political consultant for his opponent, I couldn’t make that offer now could I?
Looks like someone else already beat me to exposing the Houck agenda. Kudos!
Planned Parenthood of Virginia Kills Baby Bunnies with Your Tax Dollars
IN this video, you’ll be SHOCKED:
Okay so it’s not THAT bad… they don’t actually kill bunnies.
…Only baby humans. Crisis protests from the SPCA and PETA avoided.
Thanks to historic legislation this week passed by the Virginia General Assembly, and voted AGAINST by Senator Edd ”Kill Babies and Moms too” Houck of the 17th Senatorial District, Virginia passed what I call a “duhh” law.
The new law regulates the safety controls, cleanliness (hygeine) and emergency response requirements (defibrillators, etc) of abortion clinics to be the same as any other medical clinic. And would you believe there are opponents to this? There are- and there are many. Most of them are astro-turfing liberals who are PAID by the abortion industry of course, because they seem to want you to not only kill your baby for their financial gain, but they also don’t seem to care if you die in the process!
Remember the chant “Keep Abortion Safe and Legal”? We can assume they didn’t really mean it… because all this law does is make your abortions more safe… for the mom, not for her baby of course. She dies in their scenario. Women DIE while having aboritons. How about if we don’t kill our taxpayers while giving these “safe and legal” abortions, shall we?
