Dave Denenberg for Congress vs. Incumbent Peter King: This is a winnable race

Popular four term Nassau County Legislator Dave Denenberg is running against Congressman Peter King in New York’s Third Congressional District. Mr. Denenberg is the type of Democrat that we desperately need. Beyond being a Nassau County Legislator, he is a lawyer that represents people in lawsuits concerning environmental contamination.

He is someone who is not afraid to be tenacious and fight for what he believes in. Denenberg’s accomplishments include balancing the county’s budget and helped upgrade Nassau County’s debt rating (with was near junk bond status when the Republicans were in control.)

The incumbent, Peter King, is well known. Although King recently has been resolute in opposing the UAE port deal, he voted against increased port security funding only a few short years ago.

Peter King is a conservative Republican and his record basically supports the Bush/Cheney agenda of cutting taxes for the most fortunate and offsetting the costs through cuts to the middle class. King is a strong opponent of abortion rights and a strong proponent of the Iraq War. According to the website wikipedia.org, “In June 2005 he was quoted as saying that he supported President George Bush’s position that there was a connection between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.

In 2005 he stated that Valerie Plame, the outed CIA officer, deserved to be outed. King also suggested that the media “be shot” for pursuing the story and identifying White House aide Karl Rove as the alleged leaker.”
