This is a letter being circulated by the RW Republican who is running against Bernie next fall. His name is Greg Parke. It is apparent that he is already weighing in on the smear machine, with the election over 1 year away.
If you are a VT resident or know others who are, please alert them to this guy. He's attempting to unseat perhaps the greatest voice of common sense in Congress today, through a campaign of smear and innuendo. If you don't believe me, just count how many times he uses the word "socialist" or "loony left-wing" in this letter.
Also, apologies to sangh0 for reposting this, but the initial post was referring to Hillary and therefore might not get hits from the Sanders crowd here on DU.
Dear Friend,
If you think Hillary is bad, just wait ‘til you take a look at the loony left-wing record of the only self-proclaimed "SOCIALIST" in the Congress. He’s from Vermont and his name is Bernie Sanders.
Bernie’s radical views are so extreme that he runs for Congress as an "Independent" rather than a Democrat because, as he puts it, "the Democrat Party is too conservative."
Just one example of this Socialist Congressman’s ideology should suffice. I was shocked when I recently learned that Bernie was one of ONLY 14 Congressmen (out of 435) who actually VOTED AGAINST the National Amber Alert Bill (H.R.1104 - Child Abduction Protection Act).
As a father of two children, I was nauseated when I found out why. According to his congressional office, Bernie objected to the bill's "two-strikes and you're out" provision. Apparently, Bernie believes that pedophiles should get a THIRD CHANCE to molest our children.
That’s beyond sick!
Enough is enough. I’ve decided to run for Congress against this pedophile-coddling politician, but I can't defeat Bernie without your immediate help. Please click here to help now!
I spent 22 years defending our country as a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force, including four years in the Middle-East as a diplomat and policy advisor. I’m told that someone with my expertise in Middle-East affairs and the war on terrorism would make an ideal Congressman right about now.
Compare my record of public service to that of my opponent. While I was serving our country in harm's way, Bernie was unwittingly providing aid and comfort to the enemies of the Unites States by helping the Clinton administration decimate our defense and intelligence capabilities. That unilateral disarmament made the 9/11 terrorist attacks possible.
For nine years in a row, Bernie introduced floor amendments to gut the Intelligence Budget an additional 10% on top of Clinton's draconian cuts. Bernie even ‘fessed up that never actually bothers to read the Intelligence Budget. He won’t even vote to protect our Flag! Has he no shame?
Vermont deserves better and our military and intelligence capabilities can’t afford two more years of Bernie in Congress. Please click here to help now!
You might subscribe to the myth that Vermont is a liberal state run by hippies and overgrown flower children. After all, it elected Howard Dean and Jim Jeffords, didn’t it?
What you may not already know is that there has recently been an unprecedented backlash against radical liberalism by the majority of Vermonters.
The Vermont Supreme Court’s decision mandating gay marriage and the implementation of that social engineering by then-Governor Howard Dean and the then-Democrat controlled legislature triggered a seismic shift in Vermont’s political landscape.
Just last year for example, Vermont’s voters elected a Republican Governor, a Republican Lieutenant Governor, and a Republican majority to the State House of Representatives.
Bernie has not been reelected to Congress because he’s popular and respected or because the voters share his ideology and are proud of his voting record. Rather, Bernie’s been reelected simply because he has never had to face a credible well-funded Republican opponent before, let alone a Veteran.
And in 1 of every 5 Vermont voters is a Veteran! Simply put, Bernie has always gotten a free ride!
That’s about to change – YOU and I can put Bernie on the receiving end of an aggressive, hard-fought, contested campaign for the first time in more than a decade. Please click here to contribute now.
If we have the resources to educate the voters about the real Bernie and his radical, LOONEY left-wing voting record, he’ll find himself running for the state line instead of reelection to Congress.
I CAN WIN this race to unseat Bernie, but I need your IMMEDIATE financial help to make it happen. We need $100,000 dollars by October 25th for critical campaign materials.
Can you contribute $1,000, $500, $250, $100, or even $50 to my campaign today? Please click here to contribute now.
Thank you in advance for your generous support and may God bless you as he has blessed America.
Sincerely, Greg Parke, Lt. Colonel, USAF Retired
P.S. Bernie will receive money from the liberal elite, and the Socialist-Workers Party types from all over the country. Bernie may be a nut, but he’s nobody’s fool. He knows he must raise and spend millions of dollars in order to deceive enough voters to believe that his SOCIALIST AGENDA is reasonable.
I need support from you and countless others like you who share my commitment to unseat this RADICAL Socialist. The voters of Vermont can’t stand with me if they don’t know where I stand.
