We can do this!

From Vic Meyers, candidate for CD4:


Dear Friends,
A great thing happened in Virginia today. Eric Cantor, described as the most conservative member of the House, was defeated in a primary today. The Tea Party is celebrating because they think they've won a great victory. I suspect that Cantor's loss has more to do with Main Street Republicans getting tired of being forgotten about and deciding that Cantor's obstructionist, anti-everything policies don't represent them. I think they have a lot in common with 4th CD Republicans who value Social Security, want immigration reform passed, a 21st century infrastructure and our Veterans to be taken care of. This is exactly why I can win this race. The four Republicans vying to run are political doppelgangers to Cantor. Some of them are even worse than Cantor.

We have a great opportunity to turn a dark red Congressional district into a purple district. Let's not let it get away!

The four Republicans in the primary are Renfroe, Kirkmeyer, Laffey, and Buck. Buck was originally going to run for senate against Mark Udall, but Cory Gardner decided to run for that seat instead of holding his seat in the House; Ken Buck was persuaded to run for this House seat in Gardner's place. We deserve better. Please check out Vic Meyers' website, and if you can, DONATE!
