I am more than a bit concerned that the DC Democratic establishment will not give its whole hearted support and assistance to Ned Lamont as he battles to secure the Ct. senate seat as a real Democrat. If this is going to be a competitive race and the Democratic nominee is being challenged and threatened by a right wing leaning independent, Mr. Lamont will need and deserves the full financial and organization support that the party can provide. My letter to the DSCC is below the fold.
Dear Friends,
I am a loyal Democratic voter and have consistently donated both time and money to elect Democrats at all levels of government. I want to stress how important it is to me that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee immediately and unequivocally endorse and support Ned Lamont as the Democrateic nominee for the Senate seat in Ct.
I expect The DSCC to provide Mr. Lamont with all the organizational and financial help that you would to any Democrat who is in a competitve race. Joe Lieberman is no longer a Democrat and should be repudiated for his self serving and destructive bid to run as an independent. If you should fail to do this, I will conclude that you are more interested in protecting an old insider crony instead of respecting the will of the Ct. voters. If this is the case, I will certainly continue to donate to Democratic candidates. His name will be Lamont, and unfortunately there may be less for Casey, Tester, Caldwell, Cardin, etc.
