NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN ALERT

NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN ALERT:
In recent week, voters in Georgetown and Charleston counties received political mailings from a special interest group (PAC) falsely attacking our Representative, Vida Miller. (This group, “SCRG”, is a “front” for libertarian extremists who want to divert our tax dollars AWAY from our public schools to give to their corporate education experiments instead. SCRG even recruited their own “puppet” candidate against Miller.)

Don’t be fooled! The sole purpose of this group -- financed by a New York multi-millionaire, Howard Rich -- is to mislead voters with false attacks and mudslinging in order to elect officeholders who will be his puppets. (They call the group “South Carolinians for Responsible Government” to mislead voters.)

Here are the facts: Vida Miller helped cut taxes by over $850 million in the last two years. She has helped lead efforts to reform government. She is a businesswoman who works to control spending and reduce the cost of government. And she helped cut $30 million in “pork” out of the state budget in 2008.

Vida Miller fights for the people of Georgetown, Waccamaw Neck, Awendaw and McClellanville - not the special interest groups or NYC multi-millionaires. That's why they have recruited their own candidate against her.

They are falsely attacking her because Vida Miller has been a consistent strong voice in favor of improving public education. They will try anything to replace her with their hand-picked puppet. But their negative campaign may backfire: Every time they attack her, voters will be reminded that its only because Vida Miller is fighting for the people of District 108... not the special interests!

You can help fight back against the special interest group which is trying to BUY our House seat. Warn your friends and neighbors about the deceptive, negative campaign they are paying for against Vida Miller, and remind them to VOTE on Tuesday, Nov. 4th (or in advance by absentee ballot.)
