Clint Curtis could still use some help in his primary campaign-crossposted from Election Reform

We have the opportunity to not only take away a Republican seat but also to decide if we will be represented by a Progressive Democrat or a Corporate Democrat. This primary could well decide which direction our party will take. Will our goals and values continued to be ignored because too many Democrats vote with the Republicans or will we actually make the changes this country needs.

This race is almost identical to the Donna Edwards. My primary competition has a long record of running as a Democrat BUT acting like a Republican. She, like Republicans are financed by special interests such as developers and insurance companies. The first six years she did not sponsor or cosponsor a single bill. When she did start to work one of the first bills she cosponsored was a resolution supporting Bush and the Iraq war. While we were working towards election integrity, she was silent.

I realize that there are a lot of candidates that are asking for your support, but if all of our past supporters could contribute just $5, we will be able to win and bring about real change. Please click on the five dollar bill below and help us bring real change for this country.

My campaign has always been focused on the individual citizen and seeking legislation that actually provides opportunities for them to improve their lives. I have refused to “go along to get along” with the special interest groups and lobbyists that write the big checks to buy their access to elected officials. I believe the citizens of the district should always come first and have direct access to their congressman. Please make a contribution today.

Thank you for all you have done. We are on the verge of taking this country back and it would not have happened without all of us banding together.

1. DCCC is running a candidate against him in the primary. Assholes.

Although it is sad to say – it is a reality and accepted party policy. Once again, the national party has chosen to ignore the “progressive” and “grassroots” campaigns in several Florida congressional districts and has actively recruited their own candidates in those districts. District 24 is one of the districts.

I am not financed by the party connected “out of district” special interest groups that always line up to give the big bucks just to secure their access to politicians. My campaign is financed by the smaller contributions from people who are working everyday and striving to just make ends meet. People who are concerned with how the mortgage will get paid; where the medical insurance premium will come from; how to pay for the kids education; from where the next tank of gas will come; and having to pay the grocery bill on their credit card.

It is time for a change. Please visit my website today and make a $5 contribution. Just $5 from members of the national “progressive” and “grassroots’” communities will enable me to secure the party nomination in the August primary and then our “Win” in the November general election will follow. Just $5 today – that is all I am asking.

The election-filing period is coming to a close soon. I would not be where I am today without your assistance and contributions. Together with my staff and many volunteers, I want to thank you for enabling me to continue into the primary election.
