Dr. Sam Page has the wrong prescription for Missouri's children. Sam Page says he's concerned about Missouri's children, but it doesn't show. Sam Page voted against background checks for foster parents, putting thousands of Missouri children at risk. Sam Page also voted to allow an investigation of child abuse to close if the child dies during the investigation. Sam Page's choices are risky for Missouri. On November 4th say "No" to Sam Page. Paid for by Citizens Taking Charge, Patrick Wilson, treasurer.
The beginning of the next phone call was cut of by the answering machine:
...[sup]ports public education, but it doesn't show. Sam Page voted against funding Missouri's education budget eleven times. Sam Page voted against three hundred and twenty five million dollars in new funding for Missouri's public schools. Sam Page's choices are risky for Missouri. On November 4th say "No" to Sam Page. Paid for by Citizens Taking Charge, Patrick Wilson, treasurer.
Why, that's enough to make you want you to take Sam Page out back and beat the crap out of him. At least that's what they want voters to think.
We'll have this kind of negative campaign tactics for as long as they work. We can do our part to make sure these tactics don't work this election cycle. Get out and vote a straight Democratic Party ballot on November 4th (remember, you've got to mark the Democrat for each race since the republican controlled General Assembly got rid of the straight party check off on the ballot).
Sam Page's campaign is answering Peter Kinder's direct (non-surrogate) attacks in an e-mail to supporters:
Rex Sinquefield believes that the free market should reign and has contempt for urban public schools that fail their students. And he plans to do something about his beliefs.
Before the campaign finance limits were reinstated by the Supreme Court, he spread the long green liberally among both Republicans and Democrats:
The biggest single chunk - $100,000 - went to Republican Gov. Matt Blunt. Then came $40,000 each to Republican Sens. Jason Crowell of Cape Girardeau and Luann Ridgeway of Smithville and Democratic Rep. Talibdin El-Amin of St. Louis.
Next came $30,000 for Democratic Rep. Rodney Hubbard's campaign for the Senate. That was followed by $25,000 for Republican House Speaker Rod Jetton's Leadership Committee, which acts as a bankroll that Jetton can spend on behalf of favored House members.
