I received the 4th e-mail appeal from Carolyn McCarthy’s election committee<\/a> this morning, this one \u00a0“written” by Frank Lautenberg<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Carolyn and I have served together since 1997 \u2013 and I can tell you, Congress needs more people like her. \u00a0In the last year alone, we’ve worked together on a bill to ban high-capacity gun magazines \u2013 the kind used in the Tucson shooting earlier this year. \u00a0And we are currently standing side by side, fighting an NRA-endorsed concealed weapons bill<\/a>. \u00a0Time and again, she’s had the courage to speak up when others have stayed silent …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s more of the same fear mongering that the NRA<\/a> and Tea Party are out to get her and she needs to raise at least $10,000 this month to defend herself. \u00a0The good news is that according to the included progress bar graph she’s only raised half that amount. \u00a0Perhaps it’s because her “courage to speak up” isn’t very popular with her constituents.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 1\/4:<\/strong> she claims she raised $14,000.<\/p>\n
