Enough criticism, focus on positive

It's been really promising seeing so many letters sent in supporting Dan Seals candidacy for Congress.

However, I've noticed Kirk supporters aren't as focused on promoting their candidate as they are on criticizing Seals.

These are more of the underhanded tactics we've come to expect from the Kirk campaign. They use distractions like these character attacks to avoid a discussion of the real issues our nation faces.

Instead of addressing Kirk's failed record on gas prices, they attack Seals' popular gas station event.

I'm voting for Seals because he has a positive message for change. He believes in a responsible withdrawal from Iraq, fiscal responsibility for our nation, and universal health care.

Seals is a welcome change from Kirk and his politics of slander, and that's why I'll be voting for him in November.
