Help defeat New START treaty opponent from Missouri
Jun 24, 2010

Missouri Senate candidate Roy Blunt says the Senate should reject the new treaty with Russia to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the U.S. and Russia.

In doing so, Blunt has ignored the strong treaty endorsements of our nation’s top military leaders, including Defense Secretary Robert Gates (appointed by George W. Bush), Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen (appointed by George W. Bush), as well as the heads of both the U.S. Strategic Command and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency.

On top of that, he has snubbed the advice and counsel of very distinguished former Republican national security officials such as former Secretaries of State George Shultz, James Baker and Henry Kissinger and former Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger.

Blunt’s position puts him far out of mainstream GOP thinking.

MO GOP Attacks CLW and Carnahan
Jan 27, 2010

In a recent press release, the Missouri Republican Party tied Robin Carnahan (D-MO)'s Senate campaign to Martha Coakley's unsuccessful Senate bid in Massachusetts, and then attacked both candidates for their endorsements from the Council.

Given the striking similarities between the campaigns of Martha Coakley and Robin Carnahan, the Massachusetts results foreshadow trouble for Robin Carnahan’s chances in Missouri.

...The same liberal groups that desperately tried to bail out Martha Coakley are also actively engaged in attempting to purchase Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat for Robin Carnahan.

...Carnahan has accepted an endorsement from the Council for a Livable World, a far-left anti-national defense group. The CLW is even raising money for her campaign. In Massachusetts, Coakley also accepted an endorsement from the group.

This isn't the GOP's first attack on Carnahan for her progressive positions and her support from the Council.
