I'm running for Congress against Stephen Lynch in the Democratic Primary (MA-9) because we don't just need more Democrats -- we need better Democrats. And to get Better Democrats, we need to do more to hold those "Democrats" who vote against the interest of working families accountable.
During his time in Congress, Stephen Lynch has taken some pretty bad votes. Whether it was to deny health care coverage to tens of millions of Americans, to send our troops to war in Iraq, or to restrict a woman's right to choose, Stephen Lynch's bad votes have hurt our community -- and our nation.
Today our campaign is launching a new website to get the facts out there about Stephen Lynch's bad votes, and the harm that's come from those votes. After all, if you can't judge a Congressman based on his voting record, what CAN you judge him on?
StephenLynchsBadVotes.com
The website has an interactive component as well. Visitors can add their own message to the site, to explain the effect Stephen Lynch's bad votes have had on them, their families and their communities. We wanted to encourage voters to think hard about what it really meant for the 9th District when Congressman Lynch voted against health care, for the wars, and against a woman's right to choose.
Had I been in Congress at the time, I would have proudly voted for the healthcare reform bill, against the war in Iraq and its continued funding, and against the anti-choice Stupak-Pitts amendment.
At the end of the day, there is a real and substantial human cost as a result of all of Stephen Lynch's bad votes. That's why we need Better Democrats -- because these bad votes hurt real people.
Come visit the site today to learn more about my opponent's bad votes. Then send him a message about what you think of his bad votes -- consider making a contribution to my campaign today!
