If it were not for you running against Joe Wilson in 2008 and garnering 46% of the vote we would not have been able to vent our frustrations through appropriate measures. We would have ranted and vented and engaged in being angry. But we already took action because of you to the tune of over 1 million and growing.
If it were not for you deciding to run in a district that many told you that you could not win we would not be here. If it were not for you taking on the challenge of the running in every district strategy we would not be here with you. And now because you did what you were told you could not do, we know that we are leading Joe Wilson
We just met you but I believe we already know you.
Rob Miller is what Joe the Plumber is not - a real everyman - a real Veteran, a real husband, a real father and a real small business owner
We heard you Rob Miller when you were there when the moment struck. We hear you now Rob Miller when you say.
I served our country in Iraq—twice—because I believe that when your country comes knocking, there is no higher calling than service. It is the same reason I ran in 2008, when nobody gave me a chance, and I managed to get over 46% of the vote against an entrenched incumbent (while being outspent by more than 4:1). That was a higher % than our President got in my district.
So here I am running again in 2010. Just as determined to bring real representation—let’s call it adult representation—to the people of my district, many of whom lack jobs, healthcare, and sadly, hope. Working together, we can change that.
Running for office isn't about me and you reminded me of that with your enormous generosity, which has seen my campaign raise $1 million from the very people that I will be fighting for in Congress. That means that because of YOU, I will not be outspent 4:1 in the general election this time. Negative attack ads will not be able to drown out honest solutions to what ails our great nation. And for that, I am eternally thankful.
In closing, we must all stop and reflect for a moment about what this great nation means to us, and how we can continue to help it fulfill it’s promise. I’d like to thank all of you for giving me the opportunity to do just that.
Rob Miller you realize that this is much bigger than Rob Miller and Joe Wilson and we thank you for being there. We thank you for running and taking the challenge. We thank you for what has come in terms of Joe Wilson spin of the narrative. We thank you for being strong and putting yourself out there knowing what attacks from the right will come.
So again No Thank YOU Rob Miller.
