The Key House Races Candidate of the Day - Jon Barela (NM-01)

[InterceptPoint]

The Key House Races "Candidate of the Day" thread will be posted daily up until Nov. 2 and feature a different candidate each day. Each of these candidates is in a Toss Up, Leans D, or Likely D race and represents one of the front line soldiers in the fierce battle for control of the U.S. House.

The DCCC and liberal special interest groups are pouring resources into these races and will continue to do so up until Nov. 2. Thousands of donations targeted toward the GOP candidates in competitive races will NEUTRALIZE the donations of these Democratic special interest groups. Targeted donations are KEY to the GOP taking back the House in November and derailing the Pelosi/Obama Express of failed economic policies, bailouts, higher taxes, and government takeovers.

Heinrich deserves to lose, but Barela doesn’t deserve to win. He has done everything that the big boys back east have told him to — and that’s not what I want.

I wanted to volunteer and do whatever I could to get rid of Heinrich, but all Barela’s campaign wants is people to man the phones (which I won’t do because I loathe those who call me). No place for people like me...
