New effort to ditch Lungren from CA-7

[silverweb]

(Cross post from California forum)

Dr. Ami Bera is once again challenging Dan Lungren for his congressional seat representing the (new) 7th District.

This time, he's got a real chance to win it. I'm not in his district, but I volunteered for him last time, donated to his campaign (because Lungren has got to go!), and have had several conversations with him. He's a good man and a fighter for what's right. If you can, please consider donating to his campaign.

Email received today from the Bera for Congress campaign:

We are over halfway to our goal of having 150 individual grassroots donors contributing to our campaign in just 5 days. We know we can reach that goal because of you. Working together we will create a grassroots movement that brings new representation to California's 7th Congressional District.

Please join our movement by donating $10, $25, $50 or any amount.

By reaching our goal of 150 individual donations by the September 30 reporting deadline, we’ll have received over 1,500 contributions from individuals this year. To put this number into perspective, Dan Lungren has had about 200 contributions from individuals this entire year. In fact, during that same period, Dan Lungren's campaign has accepted over 100 contributions from special interests including Big Oil, Wall Street and the Health Insurance industry. We know who is driving Dan Lungren’s campaign, let’s send a clear and resounding message that ours is being driven “by the people, for the people.”

That is why your donation of $10, $25, $50, or any amount, means so much to me.

We have only one day left until the reporting deadline and we need 67 more individual contributions before we close the books on the 3rd quarter. Thanks to you, I know we will meet our goal, and win this election.

And if you’ve already given, please forward this email to 5 of your friends and ask them to join our campaign.

Be well,

Ami Bera MD FACP
Candidate for the United States House of Representatives
California's New 7th Congressional District

5. Dan Lungren was my former Congress Critter...

Now, I have Earl Blumenauer, soon to be Kurt Schrader.

Needless to say, I can't stand Lungren and I'm much happier with my Oregon elected representatives.

B-)

Did he move up the ladder quickly or what? Wonder whose pocket he is in?

7. He's a wanna be Gingrich. Spends the 4 - 5 hour flight across country plotting.

Don't trust him at all. And yeah, he's arrogant to boot. :hi:
