| Campaign Vehicles |
Joe Ryan uses his 20 foot long Ford E-350 as his main campaign vehicle. He spent neraly $1,000 dollars in 2008 having it turned-out in campaign slogans and signs. He spent an additional $60.00 dollars having his signage fixed and updated for the 2010 campaign. |
Duncan also uses his personal vehicle to campaign and to appear in parades in. It's a nice new heavy duty pickup truck, which he has adorned with two magnets (about $40.00 a piece from Vista Print) announcing his campaign. |

Joe Ryan has spent less than 5k to run so far in 2008 and again in 2010 (combined!); meanwhile, Duncan junior spent every one of the million dollars he took in since 2008. For all the money he's taken in, All Joe Ryan has seen is a few stock, 'Duncan Hunter for Congress' signs here and there. He did manage to buy a small magnet to announce his campaign temporarily on the side of his truck. Nothing like what Joe Ryan has accomplished with his campaign van; but hey, a million dollars doesn't go far these days.
Joe Ryan could sponsor a candidate in ALL 435 congressional districts for a million dollars! What does that tell you about who would respect the taxpayers by not throwing money away pointlessly (on things like 'signs that tell people nothing' and 'a large staff).
Joe Ryan knows how to save a buck; meanwhile Duncan junior has spent his million like a proverbial 'drunk sailor on leave'. He's out of touch with what a million dollars represents, and he's only been in Washington DC a couple years.
