Today I received an email from Brad asking for money. At this time of the year most of us are pretty tapped out, but we still want our Dems to win. This is part of his plea:
We've almost raised enough to pay for what we've planned to spend on television, mail, flyers, signs, campaign staff, and all the rest. But not quite. To be precise, we need an extra $37,895 by Tuesday, October 31.
If you can find any money, maybe $5.00, maybe forgo that lottery ticket or a night out, it will help a good Democratic Representative keep his seat. Brad has been working hard in Washington, looking out for us, here in North Carolina and across the USA. He understands the plight of the middle class worker and has introduced legislation to
prohibit predatory lending. He founded and co-chairs the bi-partisan
Community College Caucus. Seeing case after case of the suppression of science by this administration, he is actively collecting stories about this censorship of real science and is
building a case for the House Science Committee to investigate after the Rubber Stampers leave.
In the newest district in North Carolina, Brad Miller is being dragged through the mud by a nasty slug, Vernon Robinson. Here's a list of people that endorse Robinson,
Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-5)
Congressman Howard Coble (NC-6)
Congressman Tom Reynolds (NY-26), Chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee
Congressman Phil English (PA-3)
Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-49)
National Right to Life PAC
Phil Jeffreys, Wake County Commissioner
David Robinson, Wake County GOP Chair
Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund
Team America PAC
National Association of Black Republicans
NC Rep. Russell Capps
Associated Builders and Contractors PAC
The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund
These are the "issues" that Robinson thinks are most important to you and me, John Q. Citizen: Gay Marriage, Flag Burning, Illegal Aliens. Check out his "issues" page on his website (you might have to bathe a couple of times after visiting)
If that hasn't gotten your blood boiling and your hands digging for dollars, read an article or two by the MSM about Robinson. If that isn't enough to convince you, watch this debate between Miller and Robinson, moderated by David Crabtree of WRAL TV. I have been told by a person that witnessed this that off-camera; "Vernon is frequently quoting bills and bill numbers, but Crabtree called him on one that didn't say what he quoted."
Brad Miller needs our help, he has been there for us, now we need to be there for him. Please dig deep and contribute whatever you can.
