You want more of the same? Go ahead and re-elect the State Senate Leadership

The 2010 challengers to three long-serving, out-of-touch, legislators:

Dave Lawson, Louis Saindon, & Fred Cullis

If you want change, then vote out 3 of the Senate’s 20+ year incumbents. Why do I raise the point about change?

In today’s News Journal Mr. Michael Heyman, communications director for Progressive Democrats for Delaware, wrote a brief piece entitled, Sen. DeLuca’s action recalls the days of desk-drawer veto.

The Democrats have controlled the State Senate since 1972 (38 years ago), and the average tenure of a Senate Democrat is about 20 years. If current trends hold, only death seems to remove them from office. I don’t say that with any disrespect to either Senators Adams or Vaughn, but it is a fact. No other Senate Democrat has chosen to walk away from their power position since 2002.

#1 Reason to Vote for Fred Cullis

July 2, 2010 by C.R.

I really hope the Cullis campaign has fun with this quote from today’s News Journal regarding how 140 DSU students won’t get scholarships this fall:

Five minutes later, Gilligan emerged and stormed across the building, ripping open the House chamber doors and returning to his seat. At 1:46 a.m., the Senate adjourned for the year. Sen. Patricia Blevins, D-Elsmere, said it was too late to stick around and debate the bill.

“We’re tired,” Blevins said shortly after adjournment. The House continued to work until 2:02 a.m.

REALLY?? SERIOUSLY???? You’re tired??

CULLIS ENDORSES ROLLINS FOR CONGRESSIONAL BID & ANNOUNCES OWN RUN FOR DELAWARE STATE SENATE

April 7, 2010 – Wilmington, DE: “I congratulate and welcome Michele Rollins into the race as a candidate for Delaware’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Her life and business experiences as-well-as her love for Delaware and America will serve Michele well as a candidate and ultimately, as a member of congress.

Michele and I are both fiscal conservatives and advocate common sense solutions to the problems facing our nation. While our positions on these important issues are similar, her personal relationships and resources far surpass mine. Since my goal has always been to insure that a common sense business person represents Delaware instead of a lifelong career politician, I am happy to support Michele and encourage those who supported me to enthusiastically support her.” said Cullis.

“Therefore, as of April 7, 2010 I am ending my campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives. And, although I have decided to step aside in the U.S. House race to insure a Republican victory, my passion for common sense Republican ideals remains undiminished. Indeed, after meeting thousands of Delawareans over the last five months of my campaign, I am more convinced than ever that the common sense approach I advocated for office in Washington DC is just as valid for state office in Dover.

“Therefore, it is with great pride, anticipation and excitement that I announce my intention to seek the Delaware State Senate seat for the 7th Senatorial District. My expected Democrat opponent is a 20 year veteran of the state senate who consistently votes to increase taxes, fees and spending, despite Delaware’s position as the number 2 state for per capita spending in the nation, while private sector job creation sputters.
