Thank you to the community at Daily Kos and across the Netroots. My campaign to win Florida’s 18th Congressional District is being endorsed by Daily Kos’s Orange to Blue program that is electing more – and better – Democrats across the country.
Annette with her husband, Dr. Eric Goldstein,
her daughter Sofia, and yorkie Munchkin
I am so excited Orange to Blue is offering me their endorsement and have added our campaign to their ActBlue page, and I want to express my profound gratitude.
New Beginning
After seven and a half years of failed policies, we are in a recession, health care costs are rising, and we are in a war that is costing us hundreds of millions of dollars a day. America needs a new beginning. We need greater investment in renewable energy, an end to subsidies for the big oil companies, and access to affordable health care for all Americans. I will put the needs of middle-class families first for a change.
Decades Tied to the Bush Family - Jeb Bush was Ros-Lehtinen's First Campaign Manager
My opponent, Bush-Rubberstamp Republican Ros-Lehtinen, has one of the most right-wing records in Congress. She votes with President Bush every step of the way on Iraq. She voted with Bush five times against S-CHIP expansion. She votes against investing in a clean energy future. Ros-Lehtinen even votes against a woman’s right to reproductive freedom even in cases of acts of rape or incest.
Ros-Lehtinen’s ties to the Bush family are stronger than most Republicans’ running this year. In 1989, during her first and only competitive Congressional campaign until now, Jeb Bush was her campaign manager.
This video is a funny way of communicating a very serious truth - Ros-Lehtinen is a Bush-Rubberstamp who votes with Washington Republicans instead of in the interest of the people of the 18th District.
Tomorrow is the Next Filing Date
We have a financial reporting deadline August 6 - tomorrow. So please consider contributing to our new Orange to Blue ActBlue page.
The outpouring has been tremendous so far. In less than 24 hours, we have received 61 separate contributions for over $2,100. Every dollar we raise now through Election Day will directly help to fund our aggressive paid communication campaign.
We will use every dollar wisely so that we can communicate our plan to change Washington with TV, radio, and mail. Find out Why We Winby clicking here, and read our Campaign Prospectus here.
I welcome any questions or comments about the issues or about our campaign.
Thank you,
Annette Taddeo
