NM-02: Latest on McCamley Campaign
Two big endorsements were unveiled this week for Bill McCamley, Dem candidate for Congress in New Mexico's Second District. I've already reported on 2006 Dem nominee Al Kissling's endorsement. He's now been joined by the National Sierra Club. Their support is a great recognition of the importance McCamley's campaign has placed on protecting our environment and developing alternative energy.
The campaign has also released video footage of their check-signing ceremony where McCamley loaned his campaign $47.50 (see above). As Bill explains, it was a fun event, but it had a serious purpose: "It highlighted the difference between our candidacy that is funded mostly by small and medium-sized donors from across the District and the country, and our opponent's candidacy, which is funded primarily by oil money. Can you help us continue to point out that difference? Can you contribute $47.50, $475, or $4,750 to our campaign? You can do so quickly and securely by clicking here or by sending a check made out to "Bill McCamley for Congress" to: Bill McCamley for Congress, PO Box 6552, Las Cruces, NM 88006."
In his latest email, McCamley suggests a few more ways to help out:
TAKE TWO SECONDS TO HELP RIGHT NOW: Go to Heath Haussamen's blog and vote in the online poll on the right-hand side. Just click here to get to it. You don't have to log in or register or anything. The poll ends Sunday evening!

CONTRIBUTE: Of course, if you've got a few dollars (or $6,900) lying around, we're really getting down the wire. You can contribute quickly and securely by clicking here or by sending a check made out to "Bill McCamley for Congress" to: Bill McCamley for Congress, PO Box 6552, Las Cruces, NM 88006.
Thank you all so much for your support so far. Now is the time to take it to the next level! --Bill

This middle class family is voting for Teague.

McCamley is my choice. I can't support anyone who gets almost all their money from oil and gas interests at a time when we have to get off fossil fuels and solve global warming.

John,
Didn't McCamley receive contributions from the oil interest? I would check his contribution report. Also, McCamley is unemployed and owns the taxpayers $90,000. Is he current on his student loans?

Well known that Teague's campaign is almost entirely dependent on oil and gas money. McCamley has mostly small donations from ordinary people. Big difference. This is a candidate of the people (McCamley) against a candidate of the insiders (Teague). Teague doesn't even have a high school diploma and his age could be a factor too. He's a nice guy but a terrible candidate for Congress.
Vote McCamley. He's got the energy, smarts and practical views to bring the district the representation it needs.
