Cara was viciously attacked yesterday by Independent Source PAC, run by private investigator Michael Corwin. A Super PAC created out of the Citizen's United decision! These scurrilous attacks were very personal, accusing Cara of being a Republican puppet. We had expected this campaign to get negative but we did not expect to what lengths our opponent and her supporters would go to stay in power. We definitely never expected that it would get this nasty and vicious, especially from a Super PAC that purports to be fighting against "conservative candidates", something that Cara is most definitely not! Anyone who knows Cara knows these allegations are baseless innuendos and downright falsehoods.
Cara desperately needs your help, we know that assaults like these rarely come as one attack and will likely hit again and much harder, much more personal and much more vile than the last. We must counter this! We must have more walkers, more phone bankers and more money to send our own response to the district. In short, we need your help!
These Karl Rove-style tactics can not stand. We cannot let a group benefiting from the Citizen's United case make the decisions in Democratic primaries just because they want to keep a long-time entrenched incumbent in office. My question: who is next? Are there other candidates that do not fit with Michael Corwin's "view" of the Democratic Party and his heavily funded Super PAC? Are we going to allow these decisions to be made by one man who has over 100 thousand dollars at his disposal? Do you want to live in a world where a few powerful PAC's make choices for the rest of us? Are we a part of the Democratic Party of New Mexico or the Democratic Party according to Independent Source PAC?
Again, this is a call to arms. We need help. Please contact me or Cara with what you can do to help. Don't allow this brand of destructive politics to win out. Make a stand with Cara today!
