Gessler responds

From:info@progressnowcolorado.org To: john.podesta@gmail.com Date: 2013-09-19 15:00 Subject: Gessler responds

Dear Friend, A quick update--after we sent the message below yesterday morning, Scott Gessler responded on a Denver radio show. Here's a transcript of Gessler from the Kelley and Company show on 710AM: Kelley: Are you expecting this to be nasty? Gessler: Oh, yeah, you're seeing it already...I've been attacked by the head of the Democratic State Party here. I have been attacked by ProgressNow...and so these guys have been attacking me relentlessly. I mean this is just over the last week. I don't think they've done this for any other Republican at all. I think it shows you that they're scared of me. Scared? Hardly. The truth is, we can't wait to hold Gessler accountable for his years of incompetence, corruption, and partisan manipulation of our election system. Click here to help us do just that with your donation to ProgressNow Colorado. http://progressnowcolorado.pnstate.org/site/R?i=UQku7ps62K1lTelv6jKfyg The only thing that's "nasty" about this is Gessler's record. Thanks for doing your part to help us expose it. Amy ---------- Original message ---------- Dear Friend, fuggedaboudit.jpg Last night, Colorado's corrupt Secretary of State Scott Gessler officially announced he is running for Governor of Colorado in 2014. http://progressnowcolorado.pnstate.org/site/R?i=-oxYGaWHN_4x8JhHr344BA Gessler as Governor would be a nightmare for Colorado. Click here to donate to ProgressNow Colorado. Your gift will immediately be put to work holding Gessler accountable in 2014 http://progressnowcolorado.pnstate.org/site/R?i=MaoniVaB8lZZFZ_ixHiovw . Scott Gessler's time as Secretary of State has been a sad story of incompetence and corruption. Gessler stepped into scandal almost immediately after taking office, when he announced his intention to "moonlight" for his former right-wing elections law firm. After a public outcry, Gessler backed away from that horrible idea--but he didn't stop there. While Gessler spent enormous amounts of time and taxpayer money unsuccessfully searching for so-called "illegal voters," his voter registration systems failed and lost the registrations of hundreds of legal voters. Gessler has consistently sought to make voting harder by stopping mail ballots and purging so-called "inactive" legal voters. Take a moment right now to make an investment to stop Scott Gessler with your donation to ProgressNow Colorado. http://progressnowcolorado.pnstate.org/site/R?i=zfM1YoBSpNwnMsoAw5pIYg Perhaps the worst of Gessler's misdeeds came to light just this summer, when the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission determined that Gessler had "violated the public trust for private gain" by spending your taxpayer dollars to attend partisan political events like the Republican National Convention. Gessler was fined the maximum amount possible after the commission determined Gessler had used his office's discretionary account as a slush fund to pursue his own partisan agenda. We at ProgressNow Colorado have spent more time holding Gessler accountable since taking office than any other right-wing politician in this state (and for good reason). Click here to donate and help us double down on our efforts to hold Gessler accountable. http://progressnowcolorado.pnstate.org/site/R?i=2Fz8UAjPjbk70uRh6w4U8A We're on the ground right now telling the truth about Gessler's record. We're not going to let Gessler get away with hiding from his incompetence, double dealing partisanship, and outright corruption. But we need your help! Donate now to say "no" to the "Honey Badger." http://progressnowcolorado.pnstate.org/site/R?i=92B3G5lJc36sONEYRTuA1g Sincerely, Amy Runyon-Harms To unsubscribe from all future email, paste the following URL into your browser: http://progressnowcolorado.pnstate.org/site/CO?i=Ovt6RCo_N_0DKU9oBJ2Az9Ol8kz-5xmo&cid=0
