Well, I have to tell you that it's great having the petition filing done and over with. Now the race really begins to pick up steam. As we've done since last August when I got into the race we will continue to hammer at Rick Renzi and his negative voting record. Many of you may have seen our T.V. ads where we hold Renzi accountable for his record and that IS NOT negative advertising. The most important part of a Representatives job is the voting that he/she does on an almost daily basis. This is where laws are made and policy is formed and it is a fact that Rick Renzi votes with his Republican colleagues and George Bush well over 90% of the time. If Renzi can't stand by his record he should run for dog catcher instead of U.S. Congress.
We continue to push for an end to this horrific and unjust war in Iraq. There has been talk that George Bush has had a good week but I beg to differ. We just reached a terrible milestone in Iraq with the "killed in combat" total hitting 2,500 of our men and women. Less than a week after the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi there is now a new terror leader who has taken his place named Abu Ayyub al-Masri. This is no surprise as no matter how many "leaders" are killed there will always be others to take their place. There is no end in sight for this war unless we begin immediate withdrawal of our troops just as Congressman John Murtha has laid out. When asked about the number of our soldiers killed hitting 2,500, Chief White House liar Tony Snowjob said "It's a number." Shameful.
In order to make a true run at Renzi we need your help. He and others are trying their hardest to buy another election. He is hoping that his money will overshadow the issues. We CANNOT let that happen. If you want to see an end to this war, a national health care plan, a raise in the minimum wage, and a true investigation into Bush's lies then you must Contribute To Our Campaign Now. If you want to send someone to Washington who will stand up for the little guy instead of corporate interests then you must Contribute To Our Campaign Now.There's more at stake than one seat in Congress, there is the well being of our nation at risk in November. Progressive Democrats must take back Congress but we can't do it without your help.
Sincerely,
Mike Caccioppoli
