MN-02: Colleen Rowley Deserves Our Help

Rusty

Colleen is an American hero. If the political hacks running the FBI had listened to her warnings about Zacarias Moussaoui, 9/11 might have been prevented. In 2002 she spoke out against the powerful leadership of the FBI for their shameful dereliction of their responsibilities, earning praise from fellow FBI agents like Phil Orestky: "She demonstrated extraordinary moral courage, because it was done at great risk to her career. That's something you see very rarely in government."

Colleen was trailing Republican John Kline 55-35 but the latest poll brings well-deserved news, for she has surged into striking distance of Bush's rubber stamp in MN-02, 48-40.

LET'S HELP HER WIN THIS RACE, AMERICANS HAVE NEVER NEEDED CONSCIENTIOUS PUBLIC SERVANTS IN CONGRESS MORE THAN THEY DO RIGHT NOW.

Colleen Rowley for Congress


According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Rowley has been criticized by some Democrats in the MN DFL for her hesitancy to raise big money, but that's exactly the kind of integrity our representatives in Congress should all embrace. "Asking people for high amounts? My stomach just turns when I hear these things," Rowley said. "I feel really terrible taking money from people."

If that isn't the most refreshing and heartwarming thing a candidate for Congress has said since 1787, I'd like to know what is.

Colleen has been campaigning her heart out because she wants to go to Congress to help us take back our government from Jack Abramoff's 300 corrupt Republican co-conspirators on Capitol Hill and their lying Shakedown-Artist-in Chief at the other end of Let's Rob America Blind Avenue.

Please, please, please send Colleen a contribution if you can. She can win this race, and of all the great Democratic candidates we have running this year, none of them deserve to go to Congress more than Colleen.

Delightful commentary, Rusty. Even the title is great. I'm not sure I'm less confused, though!

See - it DOES pay to read the Weekly Reader when you're a kid!

My acccompanying crayon-like illustration would have shown lots of bright yellow school busses running over almost the entire Republican membership of the House.

At least I didn't call him Tom Foley this time.

They are sick deranged and decadent. Unfortunately damage control is already in the works. This is just a matter of routine for them. Give it another week and the story will be dead.

no way reed, some conservatives are already calling for hasterts resignation, and you think theyre gonna be out campaigning with this hitting the fan? theyre gonna hide from the media as long as they can... i dont think u can spin this is a week or two, and yhou KNOW theres more to drop ... somebody knew, u can bet on it, and something will surface that will prove it...
