Latham Criticized for Negative Attack

From the Des Moines Register...

Washington, D.C. - A national nonpartisan organization on Friday criticized a Republican congressman in Iowa for using its questionnaire to launch a "negative attack" on his Democratic opponent in a press release.

Project Vote Smart said in a statement that Rep. Tom Latham "used Project Vote Smart's name and programs to give credibility to a negative attack against Selden Spencer, who is running for the same office."

It added that "by using the project's name to give credibility to these attacks, Thomas Latham is cheating the public out of their need for trusted, abundant, accurate, factual information."

All candidates are told repeatedly they can't use its issues questionnaires for attacks, the group said.

Visit Dr. Selden Spencer's website and see what he is all about and remember that a recent poll showed Latham at a 40% approval rating and 28% are undecided. Even a small donation would help the Spencer campaign reach out to voters in the final weeks.
