A sad day for the 20th CD

Today 2 of the best candidates for the Congressional Race against John Sweeney Dropped out. Morris Guller and Ed Pell were our best bets to beat John Sweeney. Now we are stuck with The sell out, Kirsten Gillibrand. Gillibrand has shunned us time and time again, saying one thing and doing another. She is a disgrace to the good people of Upstate New York.

That is why I am today announcing to OTB (Opportunity to Ballot) the Working Families Line for the primary. This is what we need, not a NYC Carpet Bagger in the district. So Please join me on this quest. Let me know if you are interested.

Also, I apologize for not posting in 4 months. My best friend has become very sick, and it has been a tough couple of months.

Another candidate in the race for the 20th CD that actually speaks for Democrats!
For those of you not aware, Ed Pell of Rhinebeck announced yesterday that he is running for Congress. This is great, not only do we have 1 great qualified candidate, we have 2 for this race. This will show that the fine people of the 20th CD do not take well to Carpetbaggers.
Mr. Pell on his website (Link to the Right) states that:
"Stealing oil makes no friends
blood for oil is a deal with the devil"

He is 100% correct. This administration, only went to Iraq for Oil, NO OTHER REASON, they think we are stupid, but the people of the 20th CD are not.

Post-Star writer Maury Thompson:
"Contributors from one New York City zip code alone have pumped more than $40,000 so far in the race for Congress in the state's 20th district.
Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, a lawyer from Hudson, had received $33,500 from contributors in the 10021 zip code, while Republican incumbent John Sweeney received $7,000 from the same zip code, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, an election reform organization in Washington.
Eight of Gillibrand’s top 10 zip codes were in New York City, contributing a total of $110,350."


This ridiculous. For someone that is going to be "representing" the 20th CD, she isn't starting off on a good foot. I want a candidate that will speak to me, not the people of New York City. I thought Ms. Gillibrand would be different, and provide a real voice for the hard working people of the 20th CD, but I guess I am wrong.

It looks like if we want a voice for us, that will not back down from his beliefs, we need to rally behind Morris Guller. Mr. Guller, stands on his beliefs, and DOES NOT BACK DOWN! If he says it, he does it. Mr. Guller, is the only true democrat in the race.
