Ryan For Kentucky: News and Momentum!!

Here at Ryan for Kentucky, we have had a good couple of weeks. We now have three pages on ActBlue raising money, and thanks to you our campaign is taking hold. My own personal fundraising page, Americans for Heather Ryan is moving steadily towards my goal of $1500 by May 20. This campaign is moving forward!!!

This is not the only good news. Yesterday, the wonderful people at the EENR for Progress community decided to endorse our campaign of hope and Democratic vision. Here is the article here:

Now, while our campaign is staying neutral in the Presidential primary out of respect to our supporters who may be supporting Obama or Hillary, as a former Edwards blogger who believes strongly in the fight for One America begun by the Edwards campaign, I am so very proud to have the endorsement of the EENR community, some of the most dedicated Democrats anywhere. So to the EENR community from Ryan for Congress, I say THANK YOU!!

That was not the only news from the campaign yesterday. In case you missed it Heather did an interview yesterday with blogtalkradio which was absolutely awesome. Get to know Heather and her vision for our state and country here:

I thought this was a very impressive interview.

Now, we all know in Kentucky and surrounding states, job prospects continue to deteriorate. One of the most pressing issues for Ryan for Kentucky are the creation of good jobs for our region. Here are some of Heather’s thoughts on Jobs:

It is not hard to figure out that outsourcing American jobs to third world countries is

destroying our middle class.  We must stop rewarding companies who send our jobs

oversees with tax cuts and begin rewarding companies who invest in our nations future.  

As a member of a staunch union family, and a former union member myself, I understand first

hand the need for a living wage as well as benefits and training programs.  I will work

tirelessly to fight for the rights of the working person.  For far too long, the citizens of

Kentucky have been victimized by the million dollar boy’s club.  It is time for change!

Now, we are not exaggerating when we say Ed Whitfield has a million dollars in special interest money to unleash on us. Go here and see the numbers:

While we appreciate all the support we have recieved, we realize that we have just begun this fight. We are already in the general election against Exxon Eddie, and any support we recieve is an investment in the expansion of our Congressional majorities this fall. Our district is 63% registered Democrat, and if we are able to get our message to our fellow Democrats, we WILL win this seat. Please make an investment in the expansion of our Congressional majorities here, and help me to reach my goal of $1500 for Heather Ryan by May 20. With your help I may even be able to raise my goal soon!!:

To everyone watching and supporting this race, from Ryan for Kentucky we say thank you so much. We are determined to fight for our home, and to ensure that our next Congress and President actually accomplishes something for the American people.

Until next time, Best wishes!!!
