Greetings to everyone here at Daily Kos. My name is Halyn Roth, and I’m Jim Holbert’s campaign manager here in Kentucky’s 5th District.
As I write this blog post, Kentuckians across Southern and Eastern Kentucky are wondering why things haven’t gotten better in the 29 years that our Republican Congressman, Hal Rogers, has been in office. This is because Mr. Rogers has been a reliable rubber stamp for the failed policies of the last 30 years.
More Below.
While Kentucky’s 5th District ranks at being the second poorest Congressional district in the nation, Mr. Rogers takes hundreds of thousands of dollars from big corporate interests who want things just the way they are. The fact of the matter is that Southeastern Kentucky cannot afford more of the same old philosophy that has gotten us into this mess.
Meanwhile, Jim Holbert is running on a Progressive platform of ending the seemingly never-ending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, bringing back jobs by ending disastrous "free trade" agreements, and creating an energy policy for our future. Jim talks straight, tells you the truth, and doesn’t play any games. This is what we need in Congress.
That’s why I’m working so hard for Jim Holbert. He’s a true Progressive Democrat who is worthy of your support. So I’m asking you to help, if you can. I always say that every dollar counts and I mean it when I say it. I can’t stress how important it is that Southeastern Kentucky turn blue this November. And not just turn blue for the sake of turning blue, but to send someone to Washington who expects results and who will get results for the people in Southeast Kentucky who are hurting in part because of the bad decisions made by Hal Rogers (and people like him).
If you’re willing to help out a truly grassroots campaign, built by hard work and determination, please give a few dollars to the effort by contributing on a Actblue here or downloading a form to mail in here.
Your financial support is what keeps this campaign going, and we thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Halyn Roth
