A Challenge to Obey - Put Up or Shut Up
We knew it's where Dave Obey stood, so we're glad he's made it official. According to this Wisconsin Radio Network story, Obey supports public financing of elections.
First, why should we have to give any of our tax dollars to support Dave Obey's campaign? But let's throw that out since Obey obviously disagrees with us.
Moreover, if Obey believes in it that much, why doesn't he voluntarily limit his campaign spending for this fall. I'm sure that all three Republican candidates would take that pledge as well.
Obey Out calls on Dave Obey to take the pledge to limit his campaign spending in 2006 to $400,000 to $750,000. What say you Congressman? What if we do as you say you want and truly eliminate the incumbent advantages. In fact, why don't you also pledge that any mass mailings you send from your Congressional Office will count against that cap?
Dave Obey will never go for it. He won't accept our challenge. Why? Because he's doing this purely for political gain. He's accepted 2/3rds of his campaign contributions from DC-based special interests and lobbyists.
The challenge has been issued, what will Obey do?
[Update: 1:18 Friday, February 3rd] Nick Reid issues this challenge to Obey. Reid did contact us and let us know he would be making it. We're glad to help the cause.

He won't put up, and no one in the mainstream media will call him out on his hypocrisy either.
