ALERT: Watch out for misinformation

As we have been saying for the past three months, to win, the Spratt campaign must eventually turn very negative. He has to because he certainly wouldn’t earn more support by running on his record.

The latest example of this was reported over the weekend by voters who received what are known as push-poll phone calls. These calls usually begin with several polling questions regarding who you plan to vote for. However, when you state that you support Mick, the person conducting the survey begins to read off misinformation. Believe it or not, one caller was actually told that Mick wants to shut down Shaw Air Force base. This is a baseless and dishonest attack meant only to scare folks into voting for Mr. Spratt.

If you receive one of these calls, please record it if you can. Or, at the very least let us know.

We fully expect Mr. Spratt, his campaign, and his allies to continue to level similar slanderous and baseless attacks through letters to the editor, more push-poll phone calls, and television ads. But with unemployment well into the double-digits all across this District, folks are looking for a candidate with solutions, not a candidate or campaign that engages in constant name calling.

Mick Mulvaney’s solutions defeat John Spratt’s support for more government spending hands down — but only if the voters have the opportunity to hear them. How can you help fight back against future attacks? There are 4 simple things you can do:

1. Win your network. We all influence those around us. Though few people believe politicians, they do believe their family and friends. Let those around you know why you support Mick’s campaign.
2. Write a letter to your local paper. When you see a negative ad, read a partisan letter in the paper, or receive a dishonest phone call from the Spratt campaign or one of its political allies, send a letter to the editor explaining just how dishonest it is.
3. Send people information about me or my campaign. By forwarding these emails or directing folks to my website, you can arm those around you against the mud-slinging and misinformation.
4. Volunteer. Sign up to volunteer and bring friends along to help out as well.

With your help, Mick can restore your voice in Congress and be the check against the Obama-Pelosi agenda that Mr. Spratt refused to become. Please stand with us and help fight back against the misinformation.

Thank you for the support!
