Leonard Boswell Believed Him

Earlier this week, Leonard Boswell sent a mailer out once again criticizing Ed Fallon for backing Ralph Nader in 2000. Boswell attempts to link Fallon's support of Nader to the death of 4,000 Americans in Iraq, the poor economy, and government corruption.

The mailer read...

Ed Fallon believed him.
Fallon helped elect George Bush
by endorsing and actively
campaigning for Ralph Nader.

Now, Fallon claims he's a real Democrat we can trust.

With nearly 4,000 of our soldiers killed in Iraq, rampant corruption throughout our government, health care costs out of control and an economy in shambles, Ed Fallon's support for Ralph Nader is unforgivable.

Enough phony politics.

Say NO to ED FALLON.

With nearly 4,000 of our soldiers killed in Iraq, rampant corruption throughout our government, health care costs out of control and an economy in shambles, Ed Fallon's support for Ralph Nader is unforgivable.

In reality, Boswell's support of Bush's policies have much more to do with the death of 4,000 Americans in Iraq, the poor economy, and government corruption. Boswell has voted against the vast majority of Democrats and supported Bush numerous times.

Boswell has...
  • voted for the Iraq War
  • voted to approve torture in the Military Commissions Act
  • voted to repeal the estate tax
  • voted to make it harder for people (and easier for corporations) to declare bankruptcy
  • voted for No Child Left Behind
  • continued to support NAFTA-like free trade agreements
  • voted to give oil and gas companies $14 billion in tax breaks
  • 74% of his donations come from PAC's
Leonard Boswell believed George W. Bush. Boswell supported Bush on too many issues by voting for the Bush agenda, against the good judgement of the vast majority of Democrats.

Now Leonard Boswell says that he is a real Democrat we can trust. Enough with the phony politics driven by big money. Say NO to Leonard Boswell.

You can call friends or relatives in the third to make sure they turn out for Fallon. Or, if you can spare a few bucks, you can make a contribution (links are at www.fallonforcongress.com).

Thanks for the post!
