Barr to stump for Smither

Here's a press release from the Bob Smither campaign:

SUGAR LAND, TEXAS - Bob Smither, the Libertarian candidate for Congressional District 22, announced that former Republican Congressman Bob Barr will keynote an upcoming campaign rally. Barr is best known for his leading role in the 1999 impeachment of Bill Clinton, and for his leadership on issues such as tax reform and the 2nd amendment.

SPEAKER: The Honorable Bob Barr (R-GA), former member of Congress

DATE: Saturday, October 28, 2006

TIME: 12 Noon

LOCATION: Sugar Land Marriott Town Square

16090 City Walk

Sugar Land, TX, 77479

No RSVP necessary - this event is open to the public.

Barr’s speech coincides with the launch of a new Smither for Congress campaign commercial. The advertisement, which features Barr’s endorsement of Smither, will begin airing on local radio stations in the 22nd District.

In the advertisement Barr acknowledges that Smither - the only candidate on both the Special and General Election ballots for CD 22 - is the best shot the conservative voters of the district have at defeating liberal Democrat Nick Lampson. Smither is running on a platform of tax reform, reduced government spending, and constitutional integrity.

Barr is, of course, a certifiable wingnut, but better to have him in your corner than scandal twins Roy Blunt and Denny Hastert. And I'll say it again - Smither is a bigger threat to Shelley Sekula Gibbs than anything else. No wonder she wants so badly to deny his existence.
