Just got this email from the Schiff campaign...
Hello Everybody,
The Norwich Bulletin has endorsed Rob Simmons because he has spent his entire life in service to his country. On the other hand, Linda McMahon and I have spent our entire lives in pursuit of personal wealth and self-interest. With that one observation the editorial board reveals their Marxist tendencies and demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of the free enterprise system upon which our nation is based.
According to the Bulletin the pursuit of personal wealth does not serve the national interest -- that the goods and services provided or the jobs created in the process mean nothing. According to the Bulletin guys like Thomas Edison, Henry Forbes, Bills Gates, Steve Jobs, etc. have done nothing to serve the national interest. I suppose the invention of the electric light bulb did nothing to improve the lives of Americans. That candlelight is just as good. That all the jobs provided by Edison Electric did nothing to improve the lives of their employees. They must have a similar view of affordable automobiles, personal computers, windows operating systems, or iphones.
If you believe in the free market and agree that innovation drives the economy, then I ask you to consider investing in my campaign. Please follow this link and make a contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250 or more today.
How many people does Microsoft employee? A lot more then Rob Simmons, who has never employed anyone. What did Rob Simmons ever invent ... nothing? How many millions has the Gates foundation given away in charitable contributions? Compare that to what Simmons is able to donate with his government paychecks.
Now, I have nothing against Rob Simmons. I also respect his years of military service. But that services pales in comparison to that of Bill Gates. Bill Gates' wealth was derived solely based on the pursuit of personal wealth and self-interest, the precise motivation that the Bulletin so readily dismisses. Yet Gates did far more to improve the lives of ordinary Americans then Simmons.
Rob Simmons has spent his entire life collecting government paychecks. He has never run a business; he has never produced a product, provided a service, or created a job. Yet according to the Bulletin that makes his uniquely qualified to be a United States Senator.
According to the Bulletin my ideas are so radical and out of touch that they have no chance of success. Well I suppose to a bunch of socialist journalist, free market ideas are radical.
Before they endorsed Simmons, the Bulletin interviewed all the candidates. Those interviews were video recorded and can be seen here.
Watch my interview and decide for yourself how radical and out of touch my ideas are. See if you think that Rob Simmons is the only candidate with the knowledge to be a senator. By the way, notice all the commercials in the video? For a paper so opposed to private profit, they certainly sell a lot of ads!
So if you agree with my "radical" free market ideas please follow this link and make a contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250 or more to my campaign today. The primary is next week, so please do not delay!
Now in fairness to the Bulletin, they are not the only newspaper to have endorsed Simmons. He has also won the endorsement of The Current and The Day. Linda McMahon won the endorsement of the Register Citizen. Not a single newspaper has endorsed me. In fact, each one basically dismisses me as a nut.
That is why I need your help to overcome the media advantages enjoyed by my opponents. We need to bypass the press and take our case directly to the people. We need more money to increase the size of our media buy, both radio and TV. Please follow this link and give generously to my campaign today.
