We got a snail mail from a "D" US Congressman asking for $

I should have given him the courtesy of a reply. We gave time & $ to his elect me campaign. He is for Keystone XXL. He voted for free trade. I could have got that from his predecessor Lee Terry. Those are enough. Not a dime or 10 seconds of my time to help re-elect Congressman Brad Ashford. I hope he gets primaried.

The return postage will be the equivalent of 10,000 letters and you might get off his list.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Brad Ashford continues to insist that campaign fundraising is not his top priority, and his numbers reflect that.

The Nebraska Democrat received about $200,000 in donations for the first quarter of 2015. He followed that up with $155,000 in contributions for the second quarter, according to Federal Election Commission reports filed this week.

The campaign now has $255,000 cash on hand. In an interview, Ashford was upbeat about the numbers and said he remains confident he’ll have the resources to get his message out.

He also reiterated his position that asking for dough should take a back seat to learning the ropes of Capitol Hill and focusing on policies such as the trade bill and the situation in the Middle East.
