Another Republican running against Nye
By Brian Kirwin | Thursday, December 17th, 2009 | PoliticsThis may be the first candidate to announce a Congressional run on Yahoo!Answers.
Info is here.
After 3 years of a spendthrift Democrat-controlled Congress, isn’t it time for real change in 2010?
Under the Pelosi Congress, Federal spending has gotten out of control with a national debt now hovering above $12 trillion it is vital that we put an end to the Democratic super-majority come 2010 so we can restore some sense of fiscal discipline to the Federal government.
I am running for Congress as a Republican in Virginia’s Second Congressional District for this precise reason: that we cannot afford to be bankrupted by wasteful spending while we lose our competitive edge in the world to China and India. As a father, I would not want my son to grow up in an America where his generation is burdened by debt and America has lost its economic supremacy to growing powers like China.
I am John J. Jannsen, former-Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander, Naval Academy and MIT graduate and Iraq/Afghanistan war veteran.
How many does that make now? This line is getting almost as long as the lines to vote at the last Republican canvass.

Too bad he couldn’t even spell his own name right in his post. Janns or Janss?
Brian,
I just called the BUD/S (SEAL training) quarterdeck office. There has never been a John Jansen or John Janssen to have attended, according to our SEAL community’s data base. Scott Taylor
My gosh, the Republicans lining up to run against Glenn Nye is almost a stampede. Every one of them thinks that if they can just get the Republican nod on the ballot they automatically win.
Wow!! Thanks for the info Scott!! Very interesting!! Brian, with not enough people running for this seat, why don’t you give it a try?
If Jeff Waters endorses me, I’ll do it.
