Pathetic Public Support for Harris

This past weekend, on a wonderful morning at the Santa Rosita Metro Station, Rep. Vincent Harris' campaign held one of their precinct walks.

One would think that a person of Harris' stature would garner some public support from the people in his district. They had one peson show up - an unidentified Harris campaign staffer. The staffer put up a "Harris" sign at 10am and then waited in a white Mercedes. After absolutely NO volunteers showed up, the unidentified staffer packed up the sign and left.

Why?

How could a person accused of taking money from big donors and depositing them into his personal bank account be popular with the people? Maybe he should tell them that he supported bills that would export their jobs to Malaysia and Vietnam? How about telling your constituents you denied the expansion of the Ventana Freeway because it cut through your father's farmland?

Yeah, I can see why people won't come out to support you. Time to start shelling out $10/hr to students and retirees for some paid support.

The people don't like you Rep. Harris. Do us all a favor and resign.

Why won't he answer a simple question?

Rep. Vincent Harris was not present at the Voter Awareness Project Q&A. According to one of Harris' handlers, the format was too much "like a debate." Other candidates were present, but the Big Kahuna was far away from his constituents, probably trying to figure out a way to get out of the corruption scandal.

Why won't Harris answer questions from his employers... the people of the 63rd Congressional District? Does he think he's better than us?

Apparently, he does.

Claire Stanton, a retired schoolteacher, visited Harris' office and also faxed a request to meet her Congressmen. She wanted to ask him questions she had asked other candidates at the Voter Awareness Project Q&A. Harris refused. When a group of constituents showed up at his office wanting to ask Harris their questions... Harris refused... AGAIN.

If your Congressman won't take the time to talk to you - why should you keep him in office?

Vote Harris out, NOW!
