By now, I'm sure you’ve seen our TV ad where I pledge to stand up to the Tea Party Republicans in Congress. It’s been getting some national attention.
Politico in D.C. highlighted my campaign yesterday and Fox News’ Neil Cavuto asked me to come on his show to talk about it.
Despite my team’s reservations that I wouldn’t get a fair shake, I took on Cavuto, live and on his turf. I mean, if I can’t take on Fox News and these Tea Party extremists, what chance do I have of changing this country?
Shortly after I left the studio, I was inundated by hate mail.
Bob: “You are a f***ing liar. Stay in Oregon and defend the pot-smoking hippies that run your state.”
John: “You are a frickin moron. Is that what it takes to win, to lie? Sounds like you are a typical democrap.”
Charles: “Your Big Government Progressive Theft is OVER. And, the Tea Party will end it and you.”
Well I’ve got news for these people – I’m not going to back down and I’m not going to shut up. I’m going to Congress to fight those who want to use this time of national crisis to enact their right-wing agenda. I hope you'll help me stand up to these extremists.
If you're in Northwest Oregon, come by the campaign HQ or call us at 503-716-8430. We are phone banking and canvassing every day until Election Day, November 8th, and we can help you volunteer from your home or neighborhood anywhere in the district.
Thank you for your support. It is because of people like you that I’ll never give up this fight!
