Fitzpatrick Leaves Party Wondering About '08 Rematch

September 11th, 2007, posted by Stanley

What’s Mike Fitzpatrick doing?

It’s a question on the lips of many Bucks County Republicans as the party maneuvers to take back the Congressional seat Democrat Patrick Murphy snatched from Fitzpatrick last year in one of the nation’s closest House races.

Will he seek a 2008 rematch?

‘‘I’ve asked him two or three times,’‘ said longtime County Republican Chairman Harry Fawkes, who championed Fitzpatrick’s successful 2004 Congressional bid. ‘‘We’ve got to know; time is running out. I think he is thinking about it. He has not given me a solid answer.’‘

Running as a Delegate to the DNC in 08

On September 12th, 2007 Anonymous said:

I am a registered Democrat in the 8th Congressional District and I going to run in the Primary as a Delegate Committed to Dennis Cucinich for the Democratic National
Convention in Denver, Co in August 2008.

I am supporting Dennis Kucinich because of his opposition to the Iraq War, his support for universal single payer healthcare for all citizens of the United States, the establishment of a Department of Peace,to use and teach all citizens on ways to resolve conflicts non-violently, policies to bring about energy independence and reduce global warming. I also support him for calling for the immediate impeachment of Vice President Dick Chaney and President George W. Bush. He is for the repeal of the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, NAFTA and CAFTA.

I support him because he has always stuck to his principles and has spoken “truth to power”. We need a President that is not afraid to lead and take strong principled stands who is not beholden to rich, moneyed interests and corporations.

For these reasons and more, I am asking Democrats to sign my nomination petitition during the petitioning period
of Jan. 24 to Feb.12 of 2008 and to sign Dennis Cucinich’s petition to get on the ballot as well in the April 22, 2008 Democratic Primary.
