I clicked on a Tim Canova ad on Facebook. Here is some of what it says...
Its happening
Remember when we told you our opponent was getting ready to launch an aggressive ad campaign to rebrand herself as a progressive? Well, its happening. Her campaign has been sending out slick mail pieces this week to presumably tens of thousands of Democratic primary voters in the district talking about how she has fought for our progressive values.
We need you to make an urgent contribution of $3 to help our campaign fight back against the deceptive messaging tactics of our opponents campaign. Give now.
This is the beginning of a larger attempt to deceive the voters and save Wasserman Schultz from our grassroots campaign. We know the truth about her time in Washington. It is not progressive to stand with loan sharks and Republicans to deregulate standards for payday lenders. It is not progressive to take hundreds of thousands of money from Goldman Sachs and other big banks. It is not progressive to reverse President Obamas ban on federal lobbyists donating to the Democratic National Committee.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is not a progressive. Tim Canova has stood for progressive values and policies for his entire career. As Tim says,its not progressive if its not progress for all!

(9,905 posts)These non-progressives calling themselves progressives for votes is disgusting. Maybe we can use the word liberal again since they hate it and have run in shame from being label one for decades.
