I am here to introduce to you a candidate running against U.S. Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ CD2)a member of the far right. John is running for the 2nd time and has a good chance of coming out on top in '08. In '06 the incumbant spent $277,000 while John garnered 39% of the vote with only $30,000.
Please take a look at him on his actblue page and website.

And now for a few words from John.
Hi! I'm John Thrasher and have lived in Arizona since 1957. I am a retired college professor of 30 years and my wife of 27 years is currently a state legislator. My opponent does not represent the working families in Arizona and his voting record reflects nothing more than a 'rubber stamp' of this administration. My opponent strongly supports school vouchers, switched his vote to yes for the senior health care plan pushed by Delay et al http://www.vote-smart.org/... and has voted against Veterans benefits, including $1500.00 in assistance for the returning National Guard members.
CD2 has lost federal funds already assigned to us by voting against transportation funding Franks calls 'pork' putting local funding in serious trouble.
Please consider supporting me at actblue or contact me at my website. I look forward to keeping you up to date.
