| Description | On the heels of a Houston Chronicle poll that showed a write-in Republican candidate with a chance of winning the Texas House seat long held by former Rep. Tom DeLay (R), the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has sent a piece of direct mail to voters in the district hoping to muddy the waters.
The mailer -- a feat of political jujitsu -- touts Republican write-in Don Richardson's support for President Bush on the Patriot Act. The front of the mail piece asks: "Republican Congressional write-in candidate Don Richardson supports President Bush's Patriot Act. Do you?"
It also mentions that Richardson backs a plan to put American troops on the U.S.-Mexico border to stop illegal immigration and warrantless wiretapping of phone calls made by suspected terrorists. In other words, Richardson holds views that are thought to be rather popular in this district. |
