Dear Friends,
Something interesting is happening out there. People across the political spectrum are starting to see this election for what it is: a stark choice between moving forward or going backward.
That is true in my race. My opponent is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on television commercials and mailings distorting the hard work I have done in the last 21 months to try to get this country back on its feet. And as you know, while we've seen some progress we have much more to do.
Interestingly, two hours ago, my opponent sent out an email blast asking for money and featuring the word "return." That got me thinking. Does he mean a return to the prosperity of the Clinton era? I don't think so. Just look at the supposed ideas his party is promoting and his radical right wing voting record in Hartford.
Make no mistake. He's talking about a return to the thoughtless failed ideas of wanton deregulation of the Bush administration. "Ideas" that ushered in the most severe economic decline since the Great Depression.
Everyone knows that we cannot let that happen again.
My opponent is a career politician who has cast over 2000 votes in public office. Votes that include: A vote against providing emergency contraception for rape victims. A vote against requiring insurance companies to cover hearing aids for children. AND, a vote against requiring insurance companies to cover bone marrow testing.
His record is radical, irresponsible, and wrong for Southwest Connecticut.
At midnight on Thursday, our campaign faces a critical filing deadline with the Federal Election Commission.
This deadline is an opportunity to say NO together to the radical and irresponsible agenda my opponent would push through if elected.
We are $15,768 away from our $50,000 online goal I set earlier this month. Thursday at midnight is the deadline. I know that together we can do this.
Will you help us reach that goal by contributing $500, $250, $100, $20, or $5 today? The legal maximum is $2400.
