Republican Senator Jim Inhofe is afraid of you
By Charles Chamberlain, DFA Last Thursday, DFA members nationwide took action and raised over $21,000 for Andrew Rice and his campaign to unseat Republican extremist, Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe. Now, Sen. Inhofe is running scared. His campaign knows Sen. Inhofe will never win on the issues or by defending his extremist record and ridiculous statements. So instead, they attacked you, the so-called "far-left". Here is an excerpt from their fundraising message on Friday: Just yesterday, a group founded by Howard Dean called Democracy for America (DFA) sent a fundraising email to liberal activists nationwide calling my friend, Senator Jim Inhofe, a "Republican Extremist." I hope that, like me, you laughed at this kind of over-the-top language, especially since it comes from a group that thinks America isn't even a democracy. What's not funny is this far-left group's fundraising potential. They've timed their message just three days before the end of a critical quarter. With the help of DFA and many other liberal groups fundraising on his behalf, Senator Inhofe's likely opponent hopes to impress his liberal counterparts in Washington, New York, and San Francisco so he can attract even more out-of-state dollars. That's right, we've got them worried. Now, let's double your impact. Contribute $20.08 to Andrew Rice right now. www.actblue.com/page/supportandrew According to Sen. Inhofe's campaign, we're "pouring tens of thousands of dollars into [Oklahoma] so [we] can distort Senator Inhofe's record. Outrageous lies are being spread and partisan negative attacks are being launched" They go on and say they are worried that "liberal groups like Democracy for America may succeed in their efforts to demonize Senator Inhofe." They're afraid of the power of millions of voices calling for change. They are afraid that Andrew Rice will win and deliver real results for Oklahoma and America. Sen. Inhofe is afraid of you. Contribute $20.08 today and remind him why. www.actblue.com/page/supportandrew Working together, we will elect a progressive Congress. -Charles Charles Chamberlain Political Director P.S. If you missed Jim's endorsement message from Thursday, I have included it below so you can learn more about both candidates in this race and why it is so important that we elect Andrew Rice in November. |
