Vote for Steven Vasquez

The congressional primary is Tuesday - voting is from 12 noon to 9 pm. Please make sure you get out and vote.

And Republicans -- vote for Steven Vasquez. There are three big reasons why you should:

1. Steven supports small government, and he really means it. His opponent talks the talk, but he is part of the GOP establishment that has ballooned government in NY, and the US, for over a decade. You can see this in the campaign itself. Steven's campaign has run lean, spending almost all of the campaign funds on campaigning - lawn signs, mailers, and phone calls to voters. His opponent, by contrast, has run a bloated campaign wasting nearly all of the money on consultants and on a frivolous lawsuit to knock Vasquez off the ballot.

2. Vasquez has worked hard on the campaign. I met Steven in 2007 while we were both working on the Ron Paul campaign. He worked tirelessly for Ron Paul, and then continued to work on the congressional race. He has built a team of loyal volunteers who believe in him. If you want someone who will work for you in Washington, Steven is the choice.

3. Hold Buhrmaster accountable. Jim Buhrmaster tried to take away your choice in this primary. He filed a frivolous lawsuit to knock Vasquez off the ballot. This wasted taxpayer money along with his own campaign funds, and everyone's time. He's blown over $120K on consultants and lawyers, and has spent almost none of the campaign money on actual campaigning. If he can't control his own spending, do you really want him spending your money in Washington?
