Dear Fellow R epublicans and other S upporters,

 

You know me and what I stand for. You know that as your R epublican-endorsed candidate for AG I subscribe to R eagan's 11th Commandment. S till, after several weeks of my primary challenger deliberately misleading R epublican voters about my platform for the AG's office -- in an effort to distract from his own record -- and after defending myself at one event without him backing off, I believe vigorous self-defense is appropriate.

 

Mr. Garber has waged a campaign of sheer myth and dishonesty. He has chosen to conduct himself in gutter politics in radio interviews, in direct mail, and in television interviews in a campaign of intentional deception. The people of Connecticut are tired of this sort of campaigning.

 

For this reason, I have just sent out the press release below. Next week, I will be holding a press conference to highlight my platform for the AG's office, address Garber's blatant misrepresentations, and explain why Connecticut will be ill-served if voters elect yet another politically-ambitious Attorney General who promotes himself through public slander of good people and businesses.

 

Please pass this information on to all of your Connecticut friends electronically and by word of mouth. As a R epublican, I strongly encourage all R epublicans to stand for something more than the slash and burn politics of the past if we want to be in a position to steer this S tate toward long-term prosperity. I am dedicated to fulfilling my part in this challenge to take Connecticut forward in a new and principled direction. Thank you for your help with this mission.

 

Best wishes,

 

Martha Dean

Republican-endorsed candidate for Attorney General
