I just fired off emails to our turn-coat Senators as the cloture vote was
being taken. I will not vote for either Pryor nor Lincoln again. Nor will I donate to the DSCC nor any Democratic Senate group. My money goes only to those who are willing to stand and fight. Yes, I know I'm not living in a 'blue' state anymore, but these people think they're playing the middle of the road and they're not. They're in bed with the corrupt GOP.

1. amen, sinkingfeeling!
My sister volunteered on Blanche Lincoln's last campaign. My husband and I have donated money to the Democratic party of Arkansas. No more, though. If these are the kind of Democrats the state of Arkansas is going to churn out then I'm going to have start supporting another party who will fight like hell for me. Not some DINO or Demopuke.

Shame on you Mark and Blanche. You've let your constituents down and you will never get support from me again.

2. And amazing, Pryor's in-state toll free number is back in operation.
Thanked the staffer for taking all the calls in the past week and then said, "I will never vote for Mark Pryor again." She then hung up.

3. I agree!
I refuse to vote for either of them ever again!

I think our party has been invaded by RePUKElicans pretending to be Dems! They make me sick!

:puke:

4. I will stand by my convictions in Office.
If you liked Paul Wellstone you'll love me!

I am the first openly gay candidate to run statewide in my homestate of
Arkansas. We have a chance in Arkansas to make history. I have been
working to put myself in a position to win the Lt. Governor's office.

During the NCCM conference last year, I heeded the call of my former boss,
the General (Wes Clark) and decided to run for Lt. Governor to provide my
state with a progressive voice of common sense in the Democratic Party
rather than being Republican lite.

I have championed the issues of harnessing technology as a source for a
new industry in our state. You can see my economic plan at my website. I
have focused on many issues besides GLBT Issues and they have placed me in
a winnable position.

My website is http://www.DrewPritt.com

Initially I had hoped groups like Victory Fund would be supportive. They
have not, because they focus on incumbents or candidates with large war
chests. Yet in a crowded primary field and hard work, I have worked myself
to a position where I can win. I cannot invest another dime of my money
though in this campaign. I need to raise money.

>From late March to April 4th is the filing for office. To get on the
ballot in Arkansas, I need to raise $7500. I need to find 75 people to
donate $100 then I can get my name on the ballot easily. In addition, I
need to raise between $50,000 - $100,000 for television.

What I am asking is will you help me? What I need and ask is this :

1.) Donate $100 to help me get on the ballot?

2.) Help me raise the $7500? I am sure you might have some friends and I
am asking in all sincerity.

3.) After that, if you can help me raise the television money, I am so
appreciative.

You can donate online at : http://www.drewpritt.com/Contribute.htm

This is not the easiest thing to do, asking others to invest money in me.
Especially people who do not know me. Thats why I have really waited till
now to start raising money and invested the initial amount from my own
pocket.

Check out my new website at http://www.DrewPritt.com/ or
http://www.PromotingPritt.com/

One other thing is a film that is being made about me. You can read about
it at http://www.CitizenPritt.com/

Get back to me as soon as you can.

Thank you for your time!

6. Donate what you can.
$100, $50, it all adds up.

I also need people to volunteer.

7. I Did The Same Thing!
And I won't support them again either.

I don't know what that will mean, but Pryor only votes with the Dems 19% of the time anyhow, so I can't see we'd be much worse off with a puke in there if it teaches the Dem DLC'ers a lesson in how to be a true Democrat!
