Blog PAC Press Release on TX-32

By Byron LaMasters

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Dallas, TX, September 28, 2004.

What was Pete Sessions thinking about during the debate with
Representative Martin Frost in likening the War in Iraq to a game? How
could Pete possibly think of 9-11 in terms of a game?

Today, BlogPac.org - a political action committee - is beginning an
online advertising campaign with the goal of informing Texas voters of
Pete Sessions's abysmal record of playing partisan games when our troops
lives are on the line. BlogPac.org is running online advertising
throughout the Dallas online media market. BlogPac.org hopes to reach
as many Texas voters in the 32nd CD as possible before early voting
begins next month.

In the 45 second video ad (which can be viewed at
http://www.BlogPac.org/current) Rep. Pete Sessions likens the War in Iraq
as similar to being an away game, and that we had our home game on
September 11, 2001, and Rep. Martin Frost responds.

To this date there have been over 1,100 Coalition Casualties, and the
United States has spent over $200 billion dollars on the war in Iraq.
Does Pete Sessions really believe we should be playing games with our
soldiers' lives and our taxpayer dollars?

Pete Sessions has been a staunch supporter of the Republican President
Bush, but Sessions could not bring himself to support a Democratic
president when we were engaged in peacekeeping in Kosovo. He voted
against authorising the use of force in Kosovo to stop genocide
perpetuated by the brutal dictator Slobodan Milosevic. In addition,
once our troops were on the ground in Kosovo, Sessions voted AGAINST
funding for them (H.R. 1141, 5/18/99, vote # 133).

It's time that Texans were told the truth about Pete Sessions and his
habit of playing partisan political games with our troops lives and our
tax dollars.

Boy you guys are swift. When was that debate? One, two weeks ago. I heard that comment right away and thought you guys would jump on that one. No wonder Kerry's trailing by so much. Dems don't get very good support from their own party. No one is listening. Where is that vaunted rapid response squad? At Starbucks, I guess.

I thought Democrats were banking this entire Presidential race on denying that the War in Iraq has anything to do with 9/11 and the war on terror........

So which is it? Is there a link when its conducive to attacking your opponent? =)

Well, Chris... the war in Iraq didn't have anything to do with the war on terror... until we invaded Iraq. Now Al-Qaeda has poured in, new recruits join up every day, and it's a quagmire. Funny thing, huh?
