CAMPAIGN TO DRAFT STATE AUDITOR
CRIT LUALLEN FOR US SENATE BEGINSIn the wake of unprecedented victory,
Kentucky Democrats launch grassroots campaign to encourage Crit
Luallen to take on Mitch McConnell in the 2008 Senate race
Frankfort, KY – Today, leading Democrats from across Kentucky launched a
campaign to elect State Auditor Crit Luallen to the U.S.
Senate. Yesterday, the Commonwealth of Kentucky showed its overwhelming
confidence in Crit Luallen by electing her to her second
term with over 60% percent of the vote.
By building on her statewide victory in 2003, State Auditor Luallen proved
that she can win votes across the state, and give Kentucky a U.S. Senator they
can be proud of. Her dependability and dedication to the people of Kentucky
make her the ideal candidate to clean up Washington, DC with some real Kentucky
values.
Today the campaign also launched a website,
www.DraftCrit.com.
Kentuckians are encouraged to visit the website to sign the petition to support
Crit.
Yesterday, Kentucky voters went to the polls and once again sent the
message loud and clear that it is time for a change. Mitch McConnell has
consistently stood for the status quo and since he has not listened, they will
vote in one year to bring him home.
Throughout his tenure, Senator McConnell has proven his loyalty to big
business and his willingness to ignore the needs of the people of Kentucky.
Mitch McConnell epitomizes partisan politics, continuing to support a criminal
governor and an unpopular war, while seeking to deny healthcare rights to
impoverished children in America and destroy social security.
Kentucky deserves better than Mitch McConnell.
2008 is the year Kentucky Democrats have been waiting for. We are ready to
ditch Mitch, and Crit Luallen is just the candidate for
the task. A model of integrity and devotion, Crit will
be a powerful advocate for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Kentucky needs
Crit Luallen. Therefore, it is with great pride that we
announce the launch of the "Draft Crit"
organization. This group is committed to putting Crit
Luallen on the ballot in November and sending her to the U.S. Senate..
