Tommy Thompson has hit rock bottom. On Monday, his campaign released a new ad that dishonestly attacks Tammy for voting against a cynical, politically-motivated resolution.
Make no mistake: Tommy is using 9/11 to score political points. But that’s not the worst part.
Tommy has also used 9/11 to score personal profits. He got a government contract to provide health care to first responders after the attacks. He put $3 million into his own pocket. But the first responders didn’t get the care they were promised. Click here to watch our new ad exposing Tommy’s shameful record.
Tommy knows that Tammy has supported nine different 9/11 memorial resolutions — and he knows that the one she voted against was intentionally politicized by Republicans looking to make 9/11 an election-year wedge issue. But Tommy also knows he’s losing this race. And he’s desperate.
I want you to know two things.
First, we’re not going to let him get away with this. We’ve released a new ad exposing Tommy’s disgraceful behavior — click here to watch it. And the media is onto Tommy — click here to watch Ed Schultz take apart his false claims.
Second, the reason Tommy is so desperate is because he knows that our campaign is stronger — and that’s thanks to you. You’ve stood by Tammy through $16 million in special interest attacks, and I thank you for standing by her again in the face of this latest vile smear from Tommy Thompson himself.
We’re going to win this race.

Like Mitt Romney AG McKenna is a flip flopper – not to mention being a part of a small group of 26 trying to get rid of #ACA ,which helps Women and the families they manage. He is not qualified to take stewardship of Washington State … Jay Inslee is right for Washington State
AG Rob McKenna stated he was only against the Mandate yet he filed a challenge to the entire #ACA . This action can be considered reckless and includes a broken promise made to the residents of Washington State.
Rob McKenna has been promising for nearly a year that he will increase education funding for our schools and universities. But, on March 5th, he reversed course, praising a GOP budget that would cut education funding by $74 million. McKenna is not who he says he is. His empty promises cannot be trusted.

Ask KFC’s board to take real action to protect the rainforest. Please email KFC’s Board of Directors today and ask them to cut deforestation out of their supply chain and keep Sumatran tiger habitat standing in Indonesia.
KFC recently announced the start of a process to examine where it gets its paper for things like napkins and chicken buckets.
This is a good first step and a sign that the company is starting to take your concerns seriously. But a process alone isn’t going to help save the 400 remaining Sumatran tigers from extinction. What we need from KFC is a global zero deforestation policy to ensure they won’t buy from companies like Asia Pulp & Paper (APP). And now’s the time to ask for it.
CEO David Novak will be the person responsible for whatever policy comes out of this process. It’s up to us to make sure he does what’s needed to save the Indonesian rainforest by developing a global policy that rules out deforestation. And there is one group of people who can definitely make sure Mr. Novak does just that: KFC’s Board of Directors. Send a message to KFC’s Board of Directors and ask them to persuade David Novak to cut rainforest destruction out of KFC products. For good.
To make things a bit more interesting we’ve decided to do a little promotion of our own. If over 30,000 people take this action, we’ll host a livestream event for people around the world and dip the Colonel himself into a tank of one of his own sauces.We think the Colonel needs a wake-up call. Every message we send to KFC’s Board of Directors matters. This is a critical time for the campaign and your support right now is crucial as the company begins the process of developing a policy. Please email KFC’s Board of Directors today and ask them to cut deforestation out of the company’s supply chain and keep Sumatran tiger habitat standing in Indonesia.
Indonesia’s rainforests are one of the largest in the world. During the last 50 years an area larger than Texas has been destroyed — logged, burned, or pulped — and its products shipped round the planet. Often for things like chicken buckets and napkins.
There’s no need to throw-away one of the most amazing, diverse places on earth.
For the forests,
Rolf Skar Greenpeace Forest Campaign Director
P.S. Want to see the Colonel dunked in a tank full of sauce?
Help us send 30,000 messages to KFC’s Board of Directors by taking action and sharing with your friends.
