FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
9 A.M. EDT, February 20, 2012
Congressional district 11, NC, FEBRUARY 20, 2012: Dr. Dan Eichenbaum, endorsed by iCaucus in December 2011, has notified iCaucus he will be leaving the race for Congressional District 11. iCaucus wishes to thank Dr. Eichenbaum, his family, and his campaign staff for participation in the process and stepping up to vetting by the citizens of his district. We regret his campaign felt they could not continue.
It is the policy of iCaucus to conference with their endorsed candidate when these situations occur. We have done so with Dr. Eichenbaum. Dr. Eichenbaum has asked iCaucus to re-open the endorsement process for the remaining candidates in this district. Each candidate will once again receive an invitation into the process and will have a deadline of 2 weeks in which to accept or decline.
We offer sincere appreciation to Dr. Eichenbaum for once again showing the honor, courage, and principles that resulted in his endorsement. We look forward to seeing him again in the future. We also thank all of the affiliated group members and iCaucus members who participated in this process and will continue to do so again.

Dr. Dan 4 Congress 2012 – February 20, 2012
Dr. Dan says thank you . . .
With the filing deadline upon us, having spent many of the past days in prayer and discussions with family and friends, I have decided that I will not file for US Congress in North Carolina’s 11th District.
Over the past several months of the campaign, listening to the other candidates for Congress in NC 11, I find increasingly little difference, on paper or in words, between the positions I have consistently held and theirs. More importantly, I am unable to self-fund sufficiently to compete against those who can. As such, I see no clear path to victory in the primary.
I wish to extend my appreciation to my wife and my children, my team, family, friends and all who have supported me in my political endeavors over the past two election cycles. My thanks and appreciation go out to the Asheville Tea Party, Blue Ridge Tea Party Patriots, Cherokee County 9-12 Project, the FairTax organization, and other grassroots organizations who, standing firm on conservative principles, refuse to give in to pressure from the establishment of both political parties.
I extend my deepest heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Jane Bilello, Chair of the Asheville Tea Party and Asheville Tea Pac, for her unwavering commitment to saving our nation at great personal sacrifice.
For those candidates seeking the support of grassroots groups, especially those affiliated with the iCaucus, I urge you to submit to its vetting process. Evaluation and approval of your platform by independent groups gives citizens of this district the ability to hold you accountable for your actions in Washington, D.C.
Be assured, I will continue to champion private property rights, Constitutionally limited government, personal responsibility, fiscal restraint, individual liberty, and a free market economy based on the principles of sound monetary policy.
I remain passionately committed to educating everyone I can on the urgency of repealing ObamaCare in January 2013, and spreading awareness about Agenda 21, the United Nation’s incremental plan to take away US citizen’s private property rights and, ultimately, US sovereignty.
As patriots, we must resist with vigor the elitists in the current administration and their fellow travelers in both parties who seek to steal our birthright of Freedom and replace it with the tyranny of Socialism.
May God Bless America.
Trust in Freedom
Dr Dan Eichenbaum
