FISCHER ANNOUNCES FOR U.S. SENATE
Kentucky Entrepreneur and Businessman Greg Fischer Launches Campaign for Change “It’s time for real change in Washington – and to get it, we need to change the people we send there.”

Louisville, Kentucky – Democrat Greg Fischer announced his candidacy for U.S. Senate today, challenging Senator Mitch McConnell.

I’m Greg Fischer and I am running for the United States Senate to represent the good people of Kentucky.

I’m not a career politician – I’ve spent my life raising a family, building businesses and creating jobs. Growing up here in Kentucky, my parents instilled in me strong Kentucky values – hard work, responsibility, and community – the same values my wife Alex and I work to pass on to our four wonderful teenage children. It’s these same values that make me a proud Democrat.

Senator McConnell has enthusiastically led the support for President Bush’s war. Even worse is Mitch McConnell’s callousness toward putting our young men and women in harm’s way.

Senator McConnell just doesn’t represent us anymore. He has misused his power and influence. He could have done more to stop the assault on the pocketbooks of working Americans, more for education, more for health care, and more to create jobs for our families and more for energy independence and environmental responsibility. But he has chosen a different course.

1. Yuck

Fischer has donated to Northup a couple of times...is that the best we can do? I'm taking a look at Horne. Fischer's dad (George) has consistently donated to McConnell and Bush and his brother went fishing with Dubya. I know that's not necessarily a reflection of Fischer's true colors, but its enough to turn me off.

2. He's going to be a strong candidate

And the contributions to Northup were EIGHT years ago. Nothing to the repukes since then.

3. Yeah

I looked them up and know the contributions were made a while ago. It just seems that Horne being a Iraqi war veteran might give Mitch a more difficult time trying to attack him. I look forward to a fun primary and supporting the nominee.
