Bartell the 'real' Republican in 66th

Posted February 01, 2008 10:00 pm

I just received another expensive mail piece from Christine Prochno, this one claiming that she is a "Proud Republican." Two weeks ago, site was an "Independent Republican," whatever that is.

Another candidate, pandering and blowing in the wind. Excuse me, Ms. Prochno, but how proud can you be if you haven't taken the time in over 10 years to support the Republican Party in even the most nominal way, by pulling a Republican primary ballot?

You don't support Republicans, you don't even vote Republican, and you sure don't sound Republican.

You sound like state Rep. Paul Froehlich -- someone using the Republican name to achieve a short-term goal. You cannot buy my vote with your expensive, misleading mail campaign.

My vote for state representative will be for a real Republican, Laura Bartell.
