From the Desk of Senator C. Anthony Muse
February 1, 2008

Dear Friend,

I'm writing today as a fellow neighbor that is concerned with the direction of our country, and I want to tell you why it is so important that we send Democrat Congressman Al Wynn back to Congress.

During an election year, we usually hear a lot of hollow promises from people running for office. Some candidates talk about lofty ideas and goals but can never actually deliver what they promise. I am here to tell you that there is only one candidate in the 4th Congressional District that has the experience, proven leadership, and who consistently responds to the needs of our Prince George's community; that candidate is Congressman Albert Wynn.

With 15 years of experience in the House of Representatives, Congressman Wynn's seniority has been a substantial benefit to our community. His tenure has been served while Democrats have been in the minority, in which it is almost impossible to get anything done. However, this year we will have a Democratic President and a Democratic Majority and now his tenure can really pay off for our county. It makes no sense to switch now! He also serves in a variety of important leadership positions, such as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Environment and Hazardous Materials, Senior Whip for the Democratic Party, and a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee. If we are serious about changing course in this country, we cannot afford to lose Al Wynn as our Congressman.

Congressman Al Wynn fights for us in Congress and he has always delivered for us. For example, he has:

• Fought crime by securing $3 million dollars to fight gangs.
  
• Is fighting for universal health care for all Americans.
  
• Authored the bill to increase access to dental care for children.
  
• Helped protect our environment by introducing legislation such as the Safe Drinking Water for Healthy Communities Act in 2007.
  

Congressman Wynn is also fighting to protect communities from crime. Not only has he consistently supported the C.O.P.S. Program that has funded thousands of new community police officers in our neighborhood, but he has also helped to secure funding that will pay for more than 50,000 new officers this year.

Congressman Wynn has helped to make college more affordable for our children by sponsoring legislation that will cut student loan interest rates in half. As our elected representative, Congressman Wynn has always been there to solve our community's problems and listen to our concerns.

I'm proud to have Congressman Wynn as my Representative and on February 12th, I hope you will join me in re-electing him to Congress. If you would like to get involved with his campaign or receive a yard sign to show your support, please contact the campaign office at 301-336-7788.

Sincerely,
{signature of C. Anthony Muse}
C. Anthony Muse
State Senator, 26th Legislative District

Beyond this letter, I've received a bunch of other stuff by mail - directly from Wynn's campaign (mostly negative/anti-Edwards of late, consistent with reports from here at FSP, OpenLeft, and elsewhere) and his allies at Realtor-PAC (all positive/pro-Wynn). On the anti-Wynn/pro-Edwards side, SEIU has been the most active with mailers in my area - IIRC, every SEIU mailer has been more anti-Wynn rather than pro-Edwards -- not necessarily a bad thing, but the lack of sophistication or depth in the SEIU mailers has been a disappointment (e.g., why and how the Bankruptcy Bill vote is bad for MD-04 constituents, and how it ties in with the foreclosure problem - it seems to me you can make that case in even a short mailer, whereas it's not so easy to pack it into a robocall, or a TV or radio spot). Finally, I've recently received a couple of mailings from EMILY's List, purely positive/pro-Donna, that I thought were very well done, and will hopefully convince a few folks that this is someone who can truly empathize with them, and knows personally about the challenges they've faced.
