Dear Friends & Supporters,

The Al Lawson for Congress campaign recently did some polling, and we have good news.

Al Lawson leads Blue Dog Allen Boyd in the 2010 Democratic primary!

Here are some key findings from our poll that I thought you might find interesting:

    2010 Democratic Primary Allen BOYD’s Reelect
    Al LAWSON 34.9% Will/may support Boyd 39.3%
    Allen BOYD 30.7% Will/may not support Boyd 46.8%

    BOYD’s Job Approval
    BOYD’s Favorability LAWSON’s Favorability
    Favorable 44.5% Favorable 53.2% Favorable 47.5%
    Unfavorable 42.7% Unfavorable 38.3% Unfavorable 12.4%
    Fav/Unfav ratio 1.04:1 Fav/Unfav ratio 1.39:1 Fav/Unfav ratio 3.83:1

Allen Boyd has already been on television for seven weeks, so we need your help to muzzle this Blue Dog. Make a CONTRIBUTION TODAY so we can maintain our lead until next fall and head off to Congress.

Allen Boyd’s right-wing agenda is out of touch with North Florida.  Boyd voted against health care reform, opposed the stimulus bill and even sided with George W. Bush to privatize Social Security. The people of North Florida have had enough of Allen Boyd’s agenda, and our polling proves it.

We know Allen Boyd will have lots of money.  He is a “so-called” Blue Dog Democrat, which means he will be able to raise lots of campaign cash from Washington special interests, like health care interests, insurance companies, and other big business groups. But we will not be deterred.

We don’t need a lot of money to beat Allen Boyd, but we do need to be financially competitive. That is why your contribution is so important. Please DONATE today!

On to Victory,

Josh Robinson, Campaign Manager
AL LAWSON FOR CONGRESS

P.S. – Make a CONTRIBUTION TODAY so we can vote out this Blue Dog and send a real Democrat to Congress!

Note: The poll was conducted by The Research Network. Four hundred and forty-one likely voters in Florida’s Congressional District 2 were interviewed in a random sample taken November 12-16. Respondents were screened for their likelihood of voting in the August 2010 primary election. The sample was balanced according to all demographic factors. The margin of error for this survey is ± 4.6% with a 95% confidence level.
