29th Republican to retire from the House of Representatives this term
Thu, 03/20/2008 - 15:33 — joeWASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-New York, announced Thursday that he will retire at the end of his term, saying it was time "to take up new challenges."
"As Abraham Lincoln said, 'It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.' " Reynolds said during a press conference in Williamsville, New York. "So even at the tender age of 58, I think I have enough life, and enough years, left to embark on the next leg of the journey."
Reynolds has represented his upstate New York district for five terms but won his last election by a small margin.
He will be the 29th Republican to retire from the House of Representatives this term, setting up potential gains for Democrats.

For This idea to work we need 50+ volunteers
This is not a personal site- it was made for anti-war Americans to organize to stop the endless war.
Volunteers are needed as internet activists, people that can help spread the word to every anti-war website and blog in America. If they really want to end the war, surely they'll put up a link to this directory that lists true peace candidates nationwide.
We need people to blog about this, write about it, get Naomi Klein, Howard Zinn, Greg Palast and all the other concerned citizens to write about it. We need friends of stars to contact them, free concerts by every anti-war band there is. Are Greenday and Eddie Vedder for real? Then get out there and start playing some free concerts for someone on this list of Peace Candidates!
This is the logical path antiwar America can choose to overcome the mainstream media and take back our country - using the internet to unite all concerned citizens.
It's like in Bug's Life- the top 1% have more than the bottom 90%. They have all the power, but we little ants outnumber them 100 to 1. United, we can win. We need to get everyone on board- peace candidates in every state to end the war. Every antiwar blog needs to post a banner until PeaceCandidates.com is everywhere.
This is not to be self-aggrandizing, but this is the collective action we can take to end the war. Getting a few more democrats in Congress is not good enough. We need real opposition candidates, and it's up to us to find them.
We need your help. Just a few people alone cannot:
So please, antiwar activists- cut your reading in half, and start writing about the Peace Candidates. Wiki the state pages, build this site and spread the notion of regular Americans running for Congress.
What's that? There's too little time- it'll never happen? Well that's to our advantage because they're not ready for us. d- 8
