Linda Stender is hitting back at Mike Ferguson with mailings, a radio ad and -- from what I hear -- a television ad up on cable. I haven't seen it, but if you have put it in the comments. These three posts are the current pieces going out in the mail.
The third is about Ferguson's radical opposition to embryonic stem cell research and women’s right to choose. You can click on either image to get to a pdf of the piece and mail it to your friends.

Mike Ferguson has, as we've noted before, taken money from some pretty shaky people. Of course, there's the $54K from Tom Delay, but also the $1,000 he just returned to corrupt Republican Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the $1,000 he took from the indicted Adam Kidan, and plenty more.
There's an excellent site called NEWSMEAT -- yeah, kind of weird -- that has all Ferguson's contributors in alphabetical order for us to check out. Please pick a letter and do some Google searching on the people on that page. There's a lot of smoke coming from Ferguson's campaign finance follies -- including a record fine from the FEC and illegal help from outside groups -- and if we go through all of these pages there will probably be fire.
The Washinton Post has an excellent interactive tool for reviewing all votes in Congress. You can review every vote Congressman Mike Ferguson cast in his three terms in office easily, and check it against whether he voted with the Republican leadership or not.
For instance, in 2005 he has only voted three times against the Republican majority.

OK, the goal here at Dump Mike is to tell the truth about Mike Ferguson's positions, beliefs and votes. We are not trying to make anything up, but to show the good people of New Jersey's 7th Congressional District that Mike Ferguson doesn' thave their values at heart.
So what we need is for our readers to do a little research to help us nail down exactly what it is Mike thinks and does. So, each week we will post a new link to a source of research into Mike Ferguson's time as a Congressman and before.
This week's link is the Congressional Record, where you can search the Congressional Record for every time Mike has spoken on the House floor.
Please go through this for any quotes or votes that show Mike's true positions on the issues, and then put them in the comments section or e-mail them to dumpmike@gmail.com!
