From the
Topeka Capitol Journal:
Worried about winning a sixth term in Congress, U.S. Rep. Jim Ryun said this month he didn't know until recently that he lived across the street from disgraced Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla. -- whom many Republicans are trying to keep at a safe distance.
Then, when faced with questions about how that could be the case considering Ryun in May hosted a fundraiser alongside Foley on D Street in Washington, D.C., Ryun's campaign said the events weren't jointly planned.
However, neither of those statements was completely accurate, Ryun's campaign admitted last week.
From later in the article:
After a fundraising event earlier this month featuring Vice President Dick Cheney, Ryun told a Capital-Journal reporter he only learned recently that he was a neighbor to Foley. The two live directly across the street from each other in Washington, D.C.
"I know that only because somebody has mentioned that, too, already," he had said.
Ryun said he barely knew Foley and didn't spend any time with him.
Kossacks, this is one of the top 70 House races this cycle. Nancy has been gaining ground for the last 2 months against Ryun and needs to get her message out! Please donate now!
Every dollar given will be used to air Ryun's corruption on TV. Cheney's visit last week raised over $200,000 for Jim Ryun, and we need to counter that. This is a district that that covers over 14,000 square miles! Nancy has been travelling non-stop, but can't possible cover all that ground without media support.
This week is critical for the campaign. Victory is in sight. Will you be one of the many who put Nancy over the top? If not, please consider recommending so others can see this.
