Asm Cooley is Trying to Turn out Republicans to Support Him? What does Congressman Bera Think?
An interesting thing happened on the way home yesterday for one of our CooleyWatchers. Normal routine has them checking the mailbox for bills and what not and the growing quantity of political mail.
Lets set the stage for this household. They are a mixed household (republican and decline to state) and would you believe it the California Democratic Party is mailing them to vote for Assemblyman Ken Cooley this November.
"Protecting Local Taxpayers?" - FALSE (read our earlier posts)
"Passing Balanced Budgets?" - TRUE - Due to Prop 25 that removed the 2/3rds vote requirement one would think budgets would be passed on-time considering Democrats control the Legislature.
"Creating Rainy Day Fund?" - TRUE - (Prop 2 on this years ballot) voted for this years state budget that also contained millions of dollars in one-time funding for CA High-Speed Rail.
The interesting fact about this mail piece is that it was sent to Republican voters.Now we are just curious...considering that Congressman Bera is running in a hotly contested election, how does turning out Republican voters help Congressman Bera's re-election campaign?
It's just a thought!
Not sure how happy Congressman Bera's folks would be about turning out voters that might be voting for his opponent...
