"Deserving vote"
7/18/2008

The 2006 elections brought new Democratic faces to Congress, but not
enough Democratic spine to put the U.S. Constitution on the table. It
is time for Oklahoma to contribute some backbone.

In 2008, Oklahoma's 1st District can and should get rid of our sorry
Republican representative and elect a Democratic congressman who will
demand accountability to the Constitution and to the interests of the
people. We have had enough resolutions, laws and regulations that
encourage greed, subsidize dirty energy, allow warrantless spying on
Americans, and fund continuation of a war we don't want. The latest war
funding vote for another $165 billion was an appalling move to hock the
future of our children.

In the Democratic primary of July 29 we will be able to vote for
grassroots candidate Mark Manley whose priorities are to address the
real needs of common people. For example, Manley will approach the
health-care issue — an issue particularly critical in Oklahoma — from a
citizen's perspective, rejecting Washington's swarming, self-serving
lobbyists who subvert good legislation.

Manley's candidacy represents an admirable commitment to civic duty, and he deserves our vote.
