I am Andrew Hurst the Democratic nominee for the VA-11 House seat, and am calling on Tom Davis (R-VA) (my opponent) to denounce the racist comments that George Allen (R-VA) recently made.
Senator George Allen made a racist comment towards a Jim Webb volunteer that have been covered extensively. Twice calling American born and raised S.R. Sidarth a "macaca" and saying "welcome to America" to this young man. You can Watch the video here or read the Washington Post's coverage here.
Sen. Allen's remarks are inexcusable in the Commonwealth of today as we move forward together. The Virginia Delegation has come along way since it helped contribute to the creation of a Bill of Rights to the Constitution, and I encourage Rep. Tom Davis to join myself, and all fellow Virginia's in reminding Sen. Allen of our proud past and our bright future.
I have set up a webpage where you can SEND A LETTER TO TOM DAVIS asking him to denounce the derogatory comments by his Republican colleague George Allen.
This is especially important as Tom Davis has had a spotty record on issues related to minority groups, but don't take my word for it, take theirs.
In 2004 Tom Davis received a rating of Zero Percent from the Arab American Institute
In 2005 Tom Davis received a rating of 11 Percent from the Leadership Council on Civil Rights
In 2005 Tom Davis received a rating of 26 Percent from the NAACP
There are four things you can do to help my campaign, please consider them below.
1. Please go to our SEND A LETTER TO TOM DAVIS website and ask him to denounce the comments George Allen made.
2. Please e-mail five friends and ask them to SEND A LETTER TO TOM DAVIS
3. Go to my website and sign up to volunteer
4. Contribute to my campaign. I am not taking special interest PAC money, so individual contributions from folks like yourselves are all that more important.
Thank you in advance for your time and support,
Andrew Hurst
