Thank you
Democratic Voters
April
23, 2008
I would like to commend
each and every Democratic voter who participated in the primary
election on Tuesday. Over 53% of all registered Democrats voted in
this presidential primary. Only a quarter of registered
Republicans bothered to vote. Over 80% of you on the Democratic side
moved down the ticket to vote for me. Thank you.
But now the work begins
to accomplish our next goal - unseating Joe Pitts in November and
returning representation to this district.
I visited many
polling places on Tuesday and talked to many Democrats and
Republicans. I know that our friends and neighbors who are Republican
share our values and share our hopes and dreams for our families and
for this country.
Joe Pitts has hurt me
just like he hurts you with his votes in Congress. His "borrow and
spend" voting record has cost many families their homes and has caused
state and local taxes to escalate. His lock-step support of Bush's War
has cost us our sons and daughters and has shackled our grandchildren
with oppressive debt. His pandering to big oil has delayed the
creation of necessary green energy choices and driven up gas prices
which we pay for at the pump and at the grocery store. His refusal to
vote for children's health insurance is unconscionable.
I have promised you that
I will be the people's representative. But before we can win, we must
take the message of this campaign to the people.
Talk about this campaign
to your friends and neighbors. Talk about your values and your dreams,
because I share them. If you can gather a group of people together to
discuss their futures and the future of our national government, I
will be there.
Thank you,
My name is Bruce Slater
Your choice for real representation in Congress
