Here is what the Blue Dogs are about summed up in one headline:

Our co-chair Marie is trying to fix a bridge that thousands of people travel over every day and folks across her district rely on and her opponent is…. against fixing it because it connects to Portland????

In case you need a summary: A Blue Dog secured funds to repair an important bridge and make the roads in her community better and her extremist opponent Joe Kent is against it because it makes it easier to travel to and from a major city.

So you see what we’re up against here? This is exactly the kind of extremist BS that Blue Dogs are trying to keep out of Congress. We don’t need people who are going to turn down infrastructure improvements or vote no on good, effective legislation because of hyper-partisan politics.

We need real leaders, normal people, and common-sense problem solvers. We need more Blue Dogs. For end-of-quarter, we’re trying to raise $10,000 to be able to send two more checks to our candidates. Can you donate now to help us reach that goal before March 31?

For every Blue Dog candidate running, there is a Joe Kent trying to beat them. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen! Chip in now >>
