Woo hoo! Thanks to the Gainesville Sun, Dave is all over the place. After visiting with folks at the swearing-in ceremonies for the City Commission here in Gainesville, the Sun interviewed Dave. They produced this article in
Saturday's paper.
Obviously, we're extremely happy to see that Dave is getting respect from the Sun. Already, a couple months ago, the Ocala Star-Banner wrote an editorial about Dave and his campaign.
One of the major facts that the story points out is that our campaign is not as well-funded as $tearn$. Surprise. Cliffy has gotten $1.6 million over the past 10 years from PACs. That seems fair (riiiight).
Here is the thing though, we OBVIOUSLY have the better message. In 2004, $tearn$ spent $3.40 for EVERY vote he got. Dave spent $1.04.
That means it cost $tearn$ THREE TIMES as much to convince a voter to vote for fear, stealing civil liberties, outsourcing jobs, taking education away from teachers and parents, running up enormous deficits and starting a preemptive war.
Meanwhile, for the cost of the newspapers that ignored him, Dave convinced voters to vote for diplomacy backed by strength, education that prepares our kids for jobs in the 21st century, a balanced budget, a proactive Apollo Program for Energy Independence and fundamental freedoms for ALL Americans.
So what this says is that EVERY DOLLAR contributed to bring a New Voice to Congress is worth THREE DOLLARS in the eventual general election battle.
So PLEASE, if you haven't contributed to the campaign, START NOW! Sign up for automatic monthly contributions until November! Let us know you want a NEW Voice to replace the rubberstamps in Washington!
