Sullivan for Connecticut
The Day of New London has come out with a great profile of Jim Sullivan, candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from eastern Connecticut.
We absolutely need him to win this election.
His profile in the blogosphere has been low, which is very unfortunate, because I think it's the single best pickup opportunity for Democrats this election. Read my endorsement below. The race is a dead-heat with a WEAK incumbent. See: OurCongress.org :: CT-02: Simmons, Sullivan "in a dog fight"
Jim Sullivan will be a wise voice in Washington. In recent years, many bad decisions have been made by members of both parties in Congress. Because of their control of all three branches of federal government, the Republicans ought to shoulder the majority of the blame. Democrats, however, have been too timid in their fight to get this country back on the right track.
In his time in Washington, Rob Simmons has proven he lacks any real vision for his country and his district. A supposed moderate, Simmons has been a blind follower as Bush has crippled the economy with a wreckless tax-cut and spend package that has dumped billions of borrowed dollars into an Iraqi quamire, where dubiously pro-government Iraqi trainees are being issued Kevlar body armor, leaving some of our own troops without it and our own police with fewer resources for our public security. Rob Simmons has continued to nod his head and give his thumbs up as Bush has lead us astray, fighting a warror on imagined ghosts of conflicts past instead of a true war on Islamic fundamentalist terror. Eastern Connecticut has no true representative in Washington.
Jim Sullivan has not been tainted by the fantastic group-think of Tom Delay and John Ashcroft's government. He has been a leader in the region going back to even his college days and was elected to the Norwich City Council at a seemingly imposible 23 years of age. As a financial planner he enjoyed great success in helping Connecticut's families plan for college and retirement in an uncertain future.
Victory for Jim Sullivan will be part of a great renewal within the Democratic party nationally. If you are disatisfied with the Democrats for not doing enough in D.C., you are not alone. There are Democrats who have served alongside Rob Simmons in the Congress who are equally guilty of looking the other way as Bush has put America on the wrong track. Jim Sullivan has stood up against the wreckless tax policy, the failed war in Iraq, and the disastrous weakening of Medicare. He is part of a rising group of wise young leaders who will get America back on the right track. Win Kerry or win Bush, it will be the same: a victorious Jim Sullivan will work tirelessly to make his positive, progressive vision for Connecticut's second congressional district a reality.
With money, Sullivan can win.
