If you really want to lay someone out, ya gotta hit where they aren’t looking. Ya gotta hit ‘em where they feel safe, ya gotta strike where they think you cannot strike, that’s how ya beat em.
I know this is an attempt to appeal to your baser instincts, but let’s face it the GOP has been appealing to fear and prejudice and ignorance for years, so hold off any moral outrage you might have for a minute and pay attention.
The Pennsylvania 9th Congressional district has been Republican since there were Republicans, you could not find more of a GOP home turf if you wandered into 310 First Street, SE, Washington, DC. (RNC HQ for those of you who don’t know)
Imagine it’s 9pm on the East coast, November 7th 2006 and you are a GOP operative reading the first few election returns, can you think of anything more demoralizing for a Republican than a loss in the PA-9th. Can you imagine what that would do to tight House races in the midwest and out west? Devastating, right?
So how do we make that happen, how do we rid Congress of intrenched Bush/Cheney rubber stamps like Bill “Bud-lite” Shuster?
Support Tony Barr!!!
Tony Barr is a special education teacher from Claysburg PA. He’s as progressive a Democrat as they come and a completley excellent guy. Tony Barr is exactly the kind of candidate that Progressive Pennsylvania voters have been yearning for. Tony exhibits the kind of common sense and leadership that our framers wanted from a member of the House of Representatives.
Log into the website and see for yourself Tonybarr2006.com
But can he win?
Well, in three weeks Tony Barr managed to pull down about 2,000 write in votes, yes, I said it 2,000 WRITE IN VOTES for the PA primary (The number was 1,776, for a while there, how’s that for an omen)
That’s with 26% Democratic Turnout and with new computerized voting machines.
What the polls and numbers and experts won’t tell you is that whatever numbers the GOP has on the PA-9th are incredibly soft, Republicans might vote for “Bud-lite” but they must be holding their noses to do it. Tony Barr can win!!!
What has this got to do with you?
The Tony Barr campaign is like any other grass roots movement in modern politics, it needs money, a lot of it and right now! Now nobody expects you to write $1,000 check (if ya can and you’re willing, cool), nobody expects you to write a $100 check (again, if ya can and you are willing, cool) but a $25 check won’t kill ya and I promise it’ll feel so good.
It’ll feel so good to hit where they ain’t lookin
