My great-grandparents originally settled in this district. I grew up in the 4th District, raised my family here, and continue to work in the District. After listening to my friends here in rural Colorado, I have been convinced that the Fourth District's interests would be served by my working in Congress on the issues that affect Colorado's working families and our rural communities. full message

"Stan tells the truth about his record, and I like that"
"As a Republican who has actively been involved in many Republican campaigns over the years," Betty explained, " I wasn't about to support Stan Matsunaka until I knew more about him. So I did a lot of research on his voting record, and looked up information about what he said and compared it to what he actually did."

President Bush and GOP candidates for congressional and statewide offices rallied about 3,000 Republicans on Monday at the Wings Over the Rockies museum.
The President's visit should help "get voters to the polls, although it is unlikely to give Republican candidates a boost or change voters' minds," analysts said. Outside the museum, a contingent from the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union demonstrated in support of a $6 billion drought-relief bill that has passed the Senate. Bush has said he will veto the measure, the article reported. read the article

Larry Pratt, fundraiser for the Musgrave campaign, has been linked in national press reports to hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazi Aryan Nations as far back as 1992 (USA Today).
In fact, Pratt stepped aside as co-chairman of Pat Buchanan's presidential campaign over alleged links to racist groups. It's no secret that Larry Pratt remains linked to extremist groups today (Rocky Mountain News, 10/15/02). Why does Marilyn Musgrave continue to accept money and fundraising help from him? more

The Greeley Tribune gives Stan Matsunka a resounding endorsement, saying that "Matsunaka typifies the West." The Greeley Tribune has endorsed the Republican candidate in every election for Colorado's 4th CD since 1972: Jim Johnson, Hank Brown, Wayne Allard, and Bob Schaffer.
The Tribune praised Stan's bipartisan approach, noting that "Matsunaka has shown an ability to work with both parties," and that "the 4th will be best served by someone who does not vote purely along party lines." Regarding Stan's opponent, the Tribune observed, "Marilyn Musgrave works too often along the fringes of her party. She has focused mainly on a conservative social agenda. She has not shown an ability to be an effective leader in the state Senate." read it yourself!

"I invite voters to look at the facts and make up their own minds," he added. more
