Jon Courtney's Campaign against Chellie

Jon Courtney is going to unseat US Rep. Chellie Pingree in Maine's 1st Congressional District come November. Jon's campaign has purchased airtime on a variety of cable tv stations.

View his TV spot: Jon Courtney

The idea is to get name recognition for Jon and give a little bio about him to the public. Jon has numerous accomplishments that the public may not be aware of. “We want to get the message out” according to Keith Herrick – Jon's campaign manager.

“We passed every major reform with bipartisan cooperation,” Courtney says in the ad. “Regulatory, welfare, health insurance and pension reform. We reduced debt, all while protecting our most vulnerable and keeping our promises to seniors.”

Courtney is running a hard campaign with Chellie who has raised more campaign funds than Jon. Pingree currently has a slight edge over Courtney in the polls.

Jon and his supporters are out every day knocking on doors and letting people know what Jon stands for – Jon is a man of principles, values and ethics. Jon has and continues to fight for the independence of families rather than dependence. Jon wants to earn your vote and not buy it as his opponent is doing. For a breath of fresh ideas and values support Jon Courtney. See what Jon is doing at joncourtney.com or find him on Facebook.

Support Jon in his efforts.

Charlie Summers calls out Cynthia Dill

Today Charlie Summers called on Cynthia Dill (D- Cape Elizabeth) to denounce comments that were made earlier this week by Rep. Paul Gilbert (D- Jay). The comments by Rep. Paul Gilbert were made during a confirmation hearing for the nomination of Christopher Pierce to the Finance  Authority of Maine. Rep. Paul Gilbert repeatedly played down the service that Christopher Pierce gave to this country. Rep. Paul Gilbert feels that Christopher Pierce  and his service with the National Guard “was not considered qualification for veteran's status”. You see Charlie Summers is a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan and knows what our men and women at arms have to go through both on and off the battle field. The comments made by Rep. Gilbert were not only disrespectful towards those who put their lives on the line for this country. His comments also show the lack of awareness of those who serve our country. Senator Dill has been silent on the issues. This speaks volumes on her character and values. Support Charlie Summers. Like Charlie Summers on Facebook.
