PURCELL: FOSTER’S VOTE FOR SOCIALIZED MEDICINE WILL COST HIM HIS SEAT

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8th, 2009

BATAVIA -- Republican Jim Purcell, one of five GOPers seeking to topple liberal Democratic Congressman Bill Foster next November, said that Foster’s vote for the Obama-Reid-Pelosi Socialized Medicine law will cost him his seat.

“Congressman Foster last night took the side of Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi in favor of Socialized Medicine and I predict that vote will cost him his seat,” Purcell said. “I’m running for Congress to provide a clear contrast for voters fed up with Bill Foster’s left-wing Socialist viewpoint.”

Purcell said he’s the strongest candidate to run against Foster.

“Republicans aren’t going to win with a famous name or a career politician with a history of raising taxes,” Purcell said. “I’m just a hard-working taxpayer fed up with the direction our country is taking and I’m taking on Bill Foster to do something about it. That’s why I’m in this race and I intend to win it.”

“Bill Foster has stood shoulder to shoulder with Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi in their assault on taxpayers and working families everywhere,” Purcell said. “He supported their bailouts, their ‘cash for clunkers’ scams, and their stimulus schemes. Now he’s supporting their plan to Socialize one-sixth of the economy through the Obamacare proposal. Bill Foster is one liberal mistake that needs to be corrected as soon as possible.”

“This is not a campaign to take back one seat in Congress; it’s not about the Red Team beating the Blue Team. This is about taking back our country. That’s what this election is all about."
