It's less than 3 weeks to Election Day.
And public opinion is demanding change.
It doesn't matter where you live in this country. Things are getting worse. Americans are fed up. And they are demanding change. Facts and public opinion speak for themself. Just look at these facts.
3 out of 4 Americans do not approve of the job Congress is doing.
Over half of Americans think a Democratic majority would do a better job.
And 2 out of 3 Americans are leaning Democratic for Election Day.
These facts speak for themself.
And what about down here, in our conservative Southwest Missouri district? A bible belt Republican district, with a strong incumbent, my opponent, Majority Whip Roy Blunt? How do people feel around here?
In my opinion, they are more outraged than the average American.

Our local media refuses to inform Southwest Missourians about public opinion. They continue to run local stories about my opponent, Roy Blunt, running for re-election, while refusing to list his opponent's name in news stories. Down here, we are living in a Republican controlled stronghold media outlet. Local voters are not getting a chance to be informed.
And I think they are getting fed up.
Southwest Missourians represent the values of Americans. Strong, moral values. Stronger than ever. And local voters are not getting an opportunity to know they have a real choice for Congress. A choice for change. A choice for an underdog, who represents the people. And that underdog in Southwest Missouri goes by the name of Truman.
This is a true David vs. Goliath story.
For those of you who do not know you have a choice; here is your choice:
Jack Truman believes in change and being for the people. Not for Washington and big business. Truman is for the people. My opponent, Roy Blunt, best represents Washington. With the Mark Foley scandal, my opponent, Roy Blunt, has been one of 3 members of the GOP leadership committee, responsible for the last 10 years to handle this matter, and nothing has been done. My opponent, Roy Blunt, as Majority Whip, was Mark Foley's boss, having Foley as his deputy whip on the leadership committee. And as recently as this year, my opponent, Roy Blunt, contributed the maximum amount of money to Mark Foley's current re-election campaign. My opponent, Roy Blunt, also has direct ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. According to reports, he was the bag man for his boss, Tom Delay, raised questionable amounts of cash for Delay, and also for his son, who is currently the governor of our state. Along with convicted Congressman Bob Ney, reports show my opponent, Roy Blunt's direct connection to Abramoff, Delay, Ney and Foley. Roy Blunt has direct ties to the most corrupt people in Washington who are currently being indicted and convicted of federal crimes. In addition, my opponent, Roy Blunt's wife and son are lobbyists for 2 of my opponent's top campaign contributors, Phillip Morris and UPS. Jack Truman has zero political ties and owes no favors to anyone. Truman is a vote for the people, and a voice for change in Washington.
Jack Truman believes in a health care system for every American. My opponent, Roy Blunt's biggest campaign contributor is Phillip Morris. I think that speaks for itself.
Jack Truman believes in ending the war on terror. As an Army veteran, I completely support bringing home our troops. Period. This is a war built on lies. Washington admits that Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11, and there were never weapons of mass destruction, which this entire war was based on. Americans are outraged with torture that is going on in Iraq. October is out bloodiest month to date since the war began. And Washington has reported this war is going to get worse before it gets better. Our priorities are all messed up. And my opponent, Roy Blunt's top priority is homeland security. Roy Blunt has a 95% voting record with President Bush. Our Republican controlled government has had control of our country for 5 years. And has homeland security a top priority. And a baseball pitcher can fly a private plane into a 30 story building in New York City. Are we better off than we were 5 years ago? Or do we need a change?
My opponent, Roy Blunt, opposes National Health Care. One of my top campaign priorities is National Health Care for every American. I believe it is a basic human right. Period.
According to reports, Roy Blunt opposes lower prescription drug costs, foreign drug discounts for seniors, benefits to protect Medicaid and Social Security. My opponent, Roy Blunt, supports letting drug companies win by banning discounted drug prices. Jack Truman is for the senior citizen. I will protect you. At all costs. Period. I support securing Social Security, lower drug costs, and anything we can do to protect the senior citizen.
Jack Truman supports increasing the minimum wage. Most Americans are living in poverty. We need to do everything we can to help and protect Americans. How can our government continue to ignore increasing American's wages, while they continually vote raises for themself in Washington? Something is wrong in America.
Like most Americans, I believe the people in Southwest Missouri are outraged. They are fed up. And what change. I believe the majority down here wants to clean house. And even if they do not know who is running against Roy Blunt in 3 weeks, I believe they will not vote for my opponent. We are tired of Washington, and will show it at the polls.
History is going to be made in 3 weeks. With no party help. With no money. With no local media help. And in a conservative part of America. Everything is against the underdog, Jack Truman. And I think Southwest Missourians will do the right thing, and vote for a change. I am putting my faith in the people. They will do the right thing. And on Election Day, in that booth, when voters in Southwest Missouri see the name Truman beside Blunt, the name will speak for itself.
Let's work together. And clean house. And we will make history.
The people demand it.
