Im not really a big diarist by any stretch of the imagination, but this issue is close to my heart. Ken Calvert has represented my district (CA-44) for far too long, and he only won his last election 52-48 after vastly outspending his opponent. This district has particularly been hit hard by home foreclosures, which Ken Calvert has done nothing to address. It is also good to know that Obama went on to win this district by a slim margin. It has come out today that Ken Calvert is being investigated by the FBI over a land deal.
I think that the one thing that Ken Calvert would love more than getting away Scott-free with this is to have this news buried. I am quite frankly sick of it, this guy is so crooked it makes me sick to even be a member of his District, and it looks like he will be there for a long while if these current fund raising numbers are indicative of anything. Bill Hedrick is a great candidate, and would make an even better representative in my district.
Don't let this news get buried, Digg this story and contribute to Bill Hedrick's 2010 Campaign.
