So I have been a Republican for 18+ years

I still am a registered Republican... but it seems I keep supporting Democrats in this race.... Laura Benson had a decent chance of getting my vote. But all of the negative mail I have gotten these past few weeks has really turned me against her and the State Republican party and all of the out of town groups paying for this junk mail.

Sell me what you have .... don't make up things about the other guy .... when I get 3 mailers just today telling me the evils of Keith Fitzgerald it is just stupid...

Do you know he is a double dipping, career politician, illegal alien supporting, no border fence, income tax loving, democrat that wants to raise my daughters college tuition 40%????

Anyway I am going to vote for Keith Fitzgerald because I don't believe any of that crap...(except he is a democrat)

Thanks, Joe!

Joe --
Thanks for voting for Keith. He's a good guy and a great legislator. Why so much money is wasted attacking him endlessly is beyond me.

Just so you know it's out there, Keith has a new website up refuting Laura's lies:

Thanks again. See you later.

Fitzgerald

Joe-

Everything sent out about Keith includes votes he's already made. Check out nofitzno.com and you will find the vote sheets and proof. These are not negative attacks, these are his votes. For example he voted to raise tuition by 40% by allowing universities to add a 40% fee on tuition. Why a fee? This way the legislature cannot take it away down the road. Your daughter who pays say $1,000 a semester will now find a $400 fee on the bottom line.

As far as the illegal aliens go, he voted to give healthcare to illegals for free, plain and simple. SO did all but 21 house members, but when the discussion started Keith voted to give it to them.

And the double dipping.... not one ad says Keith is double dipping, because he is not. However, he will be able to when he reaches retirement age because he voted against a strike all amendment that would have totall reformed the pension system and added saftey values to prevent politicians from taking up to three checks at once.

Do your research. Don't just spout off.
