Meet Rob Miller, Joe Wilson's Democratic challenger for 2010.
Edited on Wed Sep-09-09 09:22 PM by Barack_America
http://www.robmillerforcongress.com/wordpress/

Be patient with his site, it seems to be suffering from some capacity issues.


Here's his Facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=23672960944


And ActBlue? Why yes, of course!

http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/19079

Let's make Joe Wilson's disrespect for our country and our President a very costly one!

Edited to add another ActBlue page. Rob Wilson just raised $3000 in 20 minutes!!

MONEYBOMB!!

8. Great idea!
I think I will take this more positive course of action instead of calling up the Dishonorable Rep tomorrow. He's not worth my ire. I just joined the future Rep. Miller's Facebook group to get updates and will be donating to his campaign.

I hope Rob Miller gets a huge swell of support and donations after Wilson's childishness during President Obama's speech.

21. Rob Miller (13 year Marine vet) blasts Wilson for disrespecting his CinC.
First on the Ticker: GOP heckler blasted by 2010 challenger

Posted: September 9th, 2009 10:48 PM ET

WASHINGTON (CNN) – The Democrat hoping to unseat South Carolina congressman Joe Wilson in next year's midterm elections quickly seized on the Republican's shout of "Lie!" during President Obama's health care speech on Wednesday.

"Representative Wilson's behavior tonight exemplifies everything that is wrong in Washington," Democrat Rob Miller said in a statement provided to CNN. "Instead of engaging in childish name-calling and disrespecting our Commander-in-Chief, Joe Wilson should be working towards a bipartisan solution that makes quality, affordable health care available to each and every South Carolinian.

Miller added: "He owes both the President and the people of this district an apology for his embarrassing behavior during tonight's speech."...

From what I can see, Rob Miller goes beyond a replacement for the idiot screamer. He should have won last time around.
