Robin Officially Files for US Senate February 23rd 2010
Today, Robin officially filed as a candidate for US Senate
Today, I’m officially filing as a candidate for US Senate. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for all your encouragement and support in the months since we launched this journey.
Everywhere I go, folks tell me about their frustration with the non-stop partisan gridlock and the fact that those who are “too big to fail” or can afford a high-powered corporate lobbyist still have a stranglehold on what gets done in Washington.
Any system where insiders get rewarded and we get stuck paying the bill is wrong and needs to be fixed. That’s why I’m running for Senate. I’m running because Missourians deserve a senator who will work for them, NOT the big corporate interests…a senator committed to restoring fairness to our economy and creating jobs, not giving excuses to protect the status quo. And a senator committed to bringing accountability back to Washington and Wall Street by ending the financial abuses of the past.
That’s why I’m working so hard to reach out to people in all parts of the state. In the past few weeks alone, we’ve logged a lot of miles - including visits in Hannibal, Mexico, Springfield, Williamsburg, Nevada, Fulton, Kansas City, Columbia, Linn, Boonville, Perry and St. Louis. Our grassroots team is a real inspiration…and will make all the difference in this campaign.
With just over eight months until Election Day, we can’t waste a single day. Our race remains one of the most competitive in the nation and every volunteer, every dollar raised, and every vote is going to count.
I know this is the right fight. And I know we can win. But, as I’ve said before, I’ll need your help every step of the way. Please think about ways you can help and drop me a note here: http://www.RobinCarnahan.com/involved/how_can_i_help/. I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks for all you do,
Robin
