Fitz-Gerald's Opponent Funded By Swiftboat Vets

Former Colorado State Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald is one of three Democrats vying for the seat of Congressman Mark Udall (CO-2) who is running for U.S. Senate. Unfortunatly one of her opponents, Jared Polis, is being funded by supporters of the group Swift Boat and POWs for Truth. According to campaign finance reports filed by his campaign, Polis has accepted $6,350 dollars from the same people who helped fund the disgraceful attack ads on Senator John Kerry's war record during the 2004 presidential campaign.

"How does Jared reconcile accepting money from people, who not only support the war in Iraq, but did everything they could to destroy John Kerry's honorable record?" asked Fitz-Gerald's campaign manager, Mary Alice Mandarich. "Why would all these people, who are the polar opposites of the Democrats in the 2nd Congressional District which voted nearly 60 percent for Kerry in 2004, donate to his campaign? Furthermore, why would Jared ask or accept a contribution from them knowing what they believe?" Mandarich continued, calling on Polis to return the donations.

We Democrats can not allow our primaries to be influenced by people who take pages from Karl Rove's playbook of dirty tricks. Please donate to the Fitz-Gerald for Congress campaign and help fight against the Republican sleaze machine.
