I’ve taken a low key point of view this primary because – well – I’m not in it. However, I am very familiar with outside (way outside, like outside of Colorado) organizations meddling with our local and state elections. The Americans for Job Security is one of these meddlers, and this group has already been drawn into a lawsuit for misrepresenting facts on candidates they oppose. I’ve seen their ads on TV and I’ve received their mailers. I know for a fact they are publishing lies about candidate Jane Norton.
Most folks know I am supporting Jane in this election but frankly we need to focus on facts and real issues – not high heels and lies. Take the candidates and evaluate them on their position on the issues, what you think they will bring to the office representing you, how they present themselves under stress, and how well you can trust the candidate.
Ken Buck probably has no idea about Americans for Job Security, a 527 organization and it (by law) has no connection to his campaign. Consider this, proud supporters of Buck, that for voters like me, the Americans for Job Security throw a shadow of doubt on Buck because most people are unaware that there is no relationship between him and Americans for Job Security. The lawsuit alone makes me stop and question the 527′s message legitimacy.
Simply I ask everyone in this primay election to get it Right! Spend time to learn the facts and study the issues. In this day and age of information, you can find and validate information and not have to rely on outsiders attempting to manipulate your vote. I ask you to vote for your candidate for the Right reasons, not because someone told you to vote their way.
In the meantime, Americans for Job Security GO HOME!
