DEEDS or MCDONNELL?

Tuesday, September 1, 2009

(Arlington County Democratic Committee)

Report from the Chairman

Peter Rousselot

Creigh Deeds wants a Virginia:

—"that is the nation's leader in economic opportunity.… Virginia can become the national leader in clean energy, medical research and cutting edge technology."

—"where every child can grow up healthy and young people can receive the best possible education at a public school, and where Virginia students at Virginia colleges and universities produce groundbreaking discoveries."

—"where progress, respect and equality prevail, not one separated by politicians with narrow social agendas. We can't move forward when we are led by those who make division and personal crusades the priority over the common good."

Creigh Deeds will continue moving Virginia forward!

What about Bob McDonnell?

Bob McDonnell opposed Mark Warner's 2004 bipartisan budget agreement—which many others in the Virginia Republican party supported. That bipartisan plan was endorsed by Virginia's business community and was backed by leaders in education, healthcare and law enforcement.

Bob McDonnell has said President Bush created "an economic revival in America," but as Creigh Deeds has pointed out, "the fiscal policies of George Bush doubled the national debt and resulted in over 300,000 Virginians losing their jobs and 48,000 Virginia families losing their homes to foreclosure."

Bob McDonnell has sponsored 35 bills in the General Assembly to restrict a woman’s right to choose. Bob McDonnell introduced legislation to create a different 'class' of marriage four separate times. Bob McDonnell supported legislation allowing a pharmacist to refuse to fill birth control prescriptions.

Bob McDonnell supports vouchers for private schools. Bob McDonnell opposes stem cell research and believes that government should interfere in a family's most personal decisions like those of Terri Schiavo.

Arlington Democrats, the choice is ours:

We can, we must, we will win this election for Creigh Deeds!
