MARCH 14, 2006: JIM GERLACH:
A RIGHT-WING BUSH-LICKING STOOGE MASQUERADING AS A MODERATE...
DON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN!!

It is clear that Jim Gerlach is a mean-spirited conservative in the Bush mode, who talks phony "compassion" to the cameras, but does the work of the Bush billionaires behind the scenes. Dump Gerlach. You will be glad you did.
Those of us in Jim Gerlach's 6th US Congressional District can expect a series of taxpayer-funded mailings this campaign year portraying Jim Gerlach as a "moderate" and an "independent". There will be pretty pictures of Gerlach in front of green hills, with smiling senior citizens, admiring children, and concerned fire fighters. But voters should know that whenever it counts, Gerlach has been right there with the George W Bush program of soaking the middle class to enrich the billionaires, at great cost to our seniors, workers, children, environment and freedoms.
But don't believe me: Check out his ratings with various independent public interest groups, and remember that anything under 60 is a FAILING grade:
