ACTION ALERT: Help NY 9th Congressional Candidate David Weprin Win
Sept 13th Special Election
From Jon Reinish
The stakes couldn't be higher: do we want the inner-NYC seat held by
one of our great progressive and pro-equality allies to be represented
by a Tea Party Republican? I know all of you join me with a
resounding HELL NO. But we are in grave danger of Anthony Weiner's
House seat going to Bob Turner: a Tea Party Republican - who has
accepted $75,000 from Maggie Gallagher and the National Organization
for Marriage (NOM), as well as a host of Tea-Partry and
ultr-conservative organizations. This philosophy is in-line with a
South Carolina worldview - it has no place in New York.
Bob Turner will vote in lockstep with John Boehner, Eric Cantor and
Michele Bachmann. Does this sound like New York City? HELL NO.
Unless you can live with this, and I know I can't, please devote a few
hours to canvassing this weekend and after work Monday and Tuesday and
helping to ensure that David Weprin is sent to Washington.
Please contact Jon Reinish at https://mail.google.com/mail/h/1bqv847k0a7z1/?&v=b&cs=wh&to=reinish.jon@gmail.com and he will
connect you with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
(DCCC).
Thank you. Please make every effort to devote time to this.
Help NY 9th Congressional Candidate David Weprin Win Sept 13th Special Election
Please Pass This on.
A 2011 special election in New York's 9th congressional district,
comprising portions of Queens and Brooklyn, will be held on September
13, 2011 to fill a seat in the U.S. Congress for New York's 9th
congressional district. Representative Anthony Weiner resigned from
this seat on June 21, 2011 due to a scandal.
Democratic Party nominee David Weprin, a member of the New York State
Assembly, will face Republican and Conservative Party nominee Bob
Turner, a businessman who unsuccessfully sought the seat in 2010.
The district leans Democratic, although significantly less than its
neighboring districts. In the 2010 election, Weiner defeated Turner by
a 61%–39% margin.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is said to be in panic
mode over the prospect of Democrat State Assemblyman David Weprin
losing to Republican Bob Turner in the special election for the Ninth
Congressional District.
David Weprin: Marriage Equality Is A ‘Civil Rights Issue, Not A
Religious Issue’ New York state Assemblyman David Weprin (D) voted
for marriage equality earlier this summer, and now he’s vying for the
congressional seat Anthony Weiner recently vacated. Asked about his
vote, he said simply, “it’s a civil rights issue, not a religious
issue,” adding that “as a legislator,” he votes on behalf of “all the
people.”
Opponant Republican and Conservative Party nominee is Bob Turner.
The special election called for NY-09; the seat was vacated after
incumbent Democrat Anthony Weiner resigned.
From NY Senator Gillibrand: Help Congressional Candidate David Weprin Win
I have an important favor to ask of you. My friend David Weprin is
running in the special election for the 9th Congressional District in
NYC, and he needs your help. With the election just days away, he is
being attacked from outside groups supporting his Tea Party opponent,
Bob Turner.
David currently has a new television ad on the air, but to keep it up,
and win the race, he needs our help. Please click here to rush a
contribution to David ASAP and help him stay up on the air - even as
little as $5 can make a big difference.
David has been a tireless advocate for seniors and the middle class.
His opponent, however, would slash the federal budget and the Medicare
and Social Security benefits our seniors have earned and depend on. In
fact, when The New York Times endorsed David they said, "If Mr. Turner
gets his way, it would be impossible to spare anybody who relies on
the government for benefits or to keep the air clean or their food
safe."
This election is too important to let the Tea Party and outside shadow
groups steal the race. We have the better candidate who is right on
the issues. Now we just need to help him get the word out. Please rush
a contribution of $5 or more to David today.
Thank you for your help.
Kirsten Gillibrand
