Not just a local Primary squabble!

Paul Helmke is trying to unseat multi-term incumbent Mark Souder for the 3rd District Republican Primary HR seat in Northern Indiana. Why should you care?
Paul Helmke was the head of the national city mayor's association for a while during the Clinton administration, spent significant time in Washington sucking up to his old school chum Clinton and their staff. Helmke also TRIED TO GET THE TOP JOB AT HANDGUN CONTROL INC. while he was there. Yes, I said Republican....
This week, President Bush not only endorsed Mark Souder but gave two cabinet members his blessing to make local visits to support Mark. AND the NRA has a full blown local mailing campaign going, as does the Gun Owners of America. One of the NRA mailings says Souder gets an "A" and Helmke, a rabid anti-gunner who vowed to do anything he could to further gun control, gets an "F" from the NRA.
If Helmke were to win the seat in the heavily Republican 3rd District, he would become a career politician in Washington, voting with the anti-gun community at every opportunity and working for liberal issues entirely apart from the Republican party agenda. He could do incredible damage despite his freshman status from the small state of Indiana. When I found out he interviewed for the job heading up HCI, I just about fainted. This guy has got to be defeated on Tuesday. H has delusions of liberal grandeur, and has already made enough Washington connections during his Clinton-buddy days chairing the national mayoral group to be very dangerous. IF you have any connections in Northeast Indiana, use them now. Primary is May 7. Mark Souder must win. the difference is nothing less than one vote for or against gun owners in the House of Representatives.

Unfortunately, they are nearly the same these days.......both suck.
Both are detrimental to the "common man".
