Hello Everyone! This is my first post here, so I'm a little bit nervous.
I come to you tonight to bring awareness to a problem facing Michigan's 7th Congressional District. Tonight, incumbent, moderate Republican Joe Schwarz lost his primary election to Tim Walhberg.
At first glance this appears to be a good thing. Unfortunately for everyone Walhberg is much farther to the right than Schwarz. Most of Wahlberg's financing came from the Club for Growth PAC and he's been endorsed by groups such as Citizens for Traditional Values, and National Right to Life. Walhberg represents everything wrong with far-right politics, and I can't allow him to be my representative in Congress.
There is good news however, her name is Sharon Renier. www.renier4rep.com
Ms. Renier defeated three other candidates to win the Democratic primary with over 50% of the vote. Sharon is smart,tough and genuine. The one thing she isn't however, is well-funded.
I believe that Renier can put a stop to the Republican stranglehold here. She has the ability to appeal to large cross-section of the population. A large number of Congressman Schwarz's more moderate voters will be turned off by Wahlberg's evangelical rantings, and turn out for Renier in the fall.
I realize I am new here, but I hope you will take me seriously. I am asking for the help and support of all of you tonight. I don't want to be represented by a right-wing nutcase.
I believe that Sharon Renier is a strong candidate who has a legitimate chance to stop a Republican candidate who is bad for America. Sharon Renier needs funding. Right now she cannot compete with the $600,00 Walhberg received from Club for Growth. But with your support she can run a strong campaign, and afford to stand toe to toe with Tim Wahlberg and his Bush-style agenda. I am asking all of you tonight to help me raise awareness of and funding for Sharon Renier's campaign to stop a man who will further blur the line between church and state.
Help Sharon run, and help her win! Thank You for Reading!
