Message from Sen. Boxer: Goldenbomb in the Golden State
Sep 28, 2010

In support of Senator Barbara Boxer, I’m posting an email for her campaign’s goal of raising $500,000 by the September 30 fundraising deadline, what might be called a “Goldenbomb.” I hope you’ll support Barbara by making a contribution.

Boxer is in a tough race this year against a wealthy businesswoman and she needs our help.  Her opponent, Carly Fiorina, is spending millions of dollars making negative personal attacks, and the corporate special interests supporting her are willing to spend whatever it takes to win in November.

Please do me a favor right now – read the message below from Senator Boxer  and contribute $25 or more during her “Goldenbomb” today.

Thanks,

John Isaacs, Council for a Livable World

Barbara Boxer Needs Your Help!
Jun 17, 2010

The Massachusetts special election and unexpected primary upsets serve as harsh reminders of the challenges facing Senate candidates endorsed by Council for a Livable World.  If Massachusetts, long considered the bluest of blue states, can elect a Republican to the Senate in these tough economic times, California could follow suit.

In California, the Tea Party Express has identified Senator Boxer as one of their top targets in the 2010 elections.  Money is flowing into the Golden State from across the country to fund baseless, vicious attacks that distort her record.

Donate now to help Barbara Boxer fight back and win the Senate in 2010!

Ex-Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina (R) is challenging Sen. Barbara Boxer (D), and easily won the June 8 primary with 56% of the vote against Assemblyman Chuck Devore (R) and former U.S. Rep. Tom Campbell (R), the 2000 nominee for Senate. Fiorina’s personal wealth, from the $42 million severance package she received after being booted from Hewlett Packard, eases her ability to fund her own campaign and neutralizes the fundraising advantage an incumbent like Boxer would normally enjoy.

A recent poll conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner shows incumbent Barbara Boxer ahead by a none-to-comfortable margin, with 44% to Fiorina’s 38%.

Oh. No. She. Didn’t.

Contest over, Carly Fiorina wins. Not in the election, of course, but in the contest that matters most – for the best campaign video of all time. Check out Fiorina’s latest ad against Republican primary opponent and ex-Rep. Tom Campbell. It’s even compelled fellow primary competitor Chuck DeVore to create his own website, “Society for the Eradication of Demon Sheep from our Political Discourse.”

Get ready for fields of grazing sheep, falling sheep, demon-eyed sheep, and – oh yes – even a man-sheep.

Simply amazing.
