Dear Friend,

A quick update--after we sent the message below yesterday morning,
Scott Gessler responded on a Denver radio show. Here's a transcript of
Gessler from the Kelley and Company show on 710AM:

Kelley: Are you expecting this to be nasty?

Gessler: Oh, yeah, you're seeing it already...I've been
attacked by the head of the Democratic State Party here. I have been
attacked by ProgressNow...and so these guys have been attacking me
relentlessly. I mean this is just over the last week. I don't
think they've done this for any other Republican at all. I think
it shows you that they're scared of me.

Scared? Hardly. The truth is, we can't wait to hold Gessler
accountable for his years of incompetence, corruption, and partisan
manipulation of our election system. Click here to help us do just
that with your donation to ProgressNow Colorado.

The only thing that's "nasty" about this is Gessler's record. Thanks
for doing your part to help us expose it.

Amy

Subject: About last night

Dear Friend,

Last night, Colorado's corrupt Secretary of State Scott Gessler
officially announced he is running for Governor of Colorado in 2014.

.

Scott Gessler's time as Secretary of State has been a sad story of
incompetence and corruption. Gessler stepped into scandal almost
immediately after taking office, when he announced his intention to
"moonlight" for his former right-wing elections law firm. After a
public outcry, Gessler backed away from that horrible idea--but he
didn't stop there.

While Gessler spent enormous amounts of time and taxpayer money
unsuccessfully searching for so-called "illegal voters," his voter
registration systems failed and lost the registrations of hundreds of
legal voters. Gessler has consistently sought to make voting harder by
stopping mail ballots and purging so-called "inactive" legal voters.

Take a moment right now to make an investment to stop Scott Gessler
with your donation to ProgressNow Colorado.

Perhaps the worst of Gessler's misdeeds came to light just this
summer, when the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission determined
that Gessler had "violated the public trust for private gain" by
spending your taxpayer dollars to attend partisan political events
like the Republican National Convention. Gessler was fined the maximum
amount possible after the commission determined Gessler had used his
office's discretionary account as a slush fund to pursue his own
partisan agenda.

We at ProgressNow Colorado have spent more time holding Gessler
accountable since taking office than any other right-wing politician
in this state (and for good reason). Click here to donate and help us
double down on our efforts to hold Gessler accountable.

We're on the ground right now telling the truth about Gessler's
record. We're not going to let Gessler get away with hiding from his
incompetence, double dealing partisanship, and outright corruption.

But we need your help! Donate now to say "no" to the "Honey Badger."

Amy Runyon-Harms
