Given the storm and short time until election, this is likely the last- and shortest- request I can make. But it is critical.
I received a copy of Rep Chris Smith’s slick, 4 page, extra sized, mail brochure that was delivered on Saturday. It contains some astounding claims.
-He claims to be a “steadfast... defender of Social Security and Medicare” although he voted to privatize and voucherize these programs, slash Medicaid, and end many senior programs.
-He claims to protect women when women groups reject his claims of support and consider him a virulent opponent.
-He heralds his fight for curing diseases but not his fight against Obamacare.
-He features a headline about FEMA, a department and budget that he and Republicans voted to slash and vow to eliminate along with the Department of Education.
-He talks about his tax relief and job creation efforts but fails to mention that the plans he has supported, and continues to support, favor the wealthy and will continue to devastate the economy and cost jobs. His district has some of the highest unemployment in the country.
But it is a slick, impressive and expensive brochure to produce and deliver. He is funded by many organizations- and even some unions- that feel they have to deal with him since he is the incumbent and favorite to be re-elected.
I can’t match Smith’s funding from PACs and other sources. I depend on people to spread the truth and to be more powerful and effective than PACs and fancy brochures.
While I know many are still caught in Sandy’s grip, I ask for your help over these next 24 hours so that we can all have a better future.
Please be safe out there- and don't forget to VOTE.
Brian Froelich,
Democratic Candidate for US Congress (NJ, 4th Dist.)
