Gen. Clark supporting Scott Murphy in NY-20

[Adelante]

For a Member of Congress, it's a simple question, really: Do you support President Obama's stimulus package?

Running to fill the open seat in New York's 20th congressional district, Republican Jim Tedisco couldn't give us a straight answer for over a month. Yesterday, Tedisco finally admitted that he'd have voted against the stimulus and therefore against 76,000 jobs in upstate New York and the biggest middle-class tax cut in history.

Tedisco seems to think that conservative ideology trumps the needs of the people of NY-20. Tedisco wants to be just another Republican in the House, where not even a single Republican member voted to help get Americans back to work and fix our economy.

In these tough times, we need leaders in Washington who will help us find a way out of this mess.

That's why we need to help Democrat Scott Murphy win the special election on March 31st. Please make a contribution to Scott's campaign today!

Scott Murphy lives in the 20th district with his wife and three young children. As a venture capitalist and entrepreneur, he has helped create more than 1000 jobs in 20 New York Companies. He has managed large staffs and helped create green jobs in upstate New York. He's exactly the type of person we need in Congress today.

The national Republican party is already running attack ads, and recently Tedisco followed -- lying about Scott's record of creating jobs. They want the race to be nasty and personal because the polls show Scott with the momentum. Just last week, an independent poll showed Scott just 4 points behind after some polls showed him down over 20 points just weeks ago.

Clearly Scott can win. That's why ensuring that Scott has the resources to spread his message is so critical. If the Republicans win, we will cede the momentum, and we know they will spin this as a defeat of President Obama's agenda.

Donate to Scott's campaign today!

In 2006, I travelled up to NY-20 to help elect Kirsten Gillibrand to her first term in the U.S. House. It's a tough district that voted for George W. Bush but in 2008 swung to vote narrowly for Barack Obama.

With Kirsten appointed to replace Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Senate, Republicans want this seat back. They think they can get back in power by opposing everything.

We have to elect Scott Murphy. Jim Tedisco and the national Republicans want to show that being the party of No -- the party of obstructionism -- is a path back to power.

Are you going to let them win?

Join me and support Scott Murphy before his election on March 31st. We need someone who will support President Obama's agenda to get our country back on track.

1. Thank you for this! This is awesome!

I wish so much that he'd make a TV ad, like Kirsten Gillibrand did. I'm working on the Scott Murphy campaign to get out the vote and most people I've spoken to are aware of the TV ads, hate the negative ones, so Gen. Clark could really make a difference here. I'll add his support of Murphy to my growing body of facts that might make a difference. I spoke to one guy yesterday that only cared about Murphy's views on the second amendment. *sigh* He supports it. Thanks so much for posting this! :-)
