NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO TAKE A CHANCE ON AN AMATEUR

DelBene "untested in the public arena" (Seattle Times)

Everett, WA - November 3, 2012 - With our nation facing its greatest economic crisis since the 1930's and with the jobless rate in our area climbing to 8%, now is not the time to elect an inexperienced amateur like Suzan DelBene to represent us in the U.S. Congress.

DelBene, the Democratic candidate for Congress in the 1st district, has never even voted to approve or reject a bill, let alone negotiated the terms of complex legislation with legislators from both sides of the aisle.

Delbene has consistently demonstrated throughout the campaign her ignorance of poorly drafted legislation and the unintended consequences of ideas not thoroughly vetted. For example, the Buffet Rule which she has campaigned on will destroy thousands of small businesses through high taxes - concerns which DelBene flippantly disregards as collateral damage.

DELBENE HAS NO SOLUTIONS, SO SHE FOCUSES ON KOSTER'S PRO-LIFE STAND

Koster urges the media to ask DelBene if she has ideas for solving nation's problems

Everett, WA - November 2nd, 2012 - As the campaign enters its final days, Democrat candidate for Congress Suzan DelBene is ignoring weighty subjects such as the anemic U.S. economy and bleak job market; and is instead solely obsessed with John Koster's views on abortion.

"DelBene has run a multi-million dollar smear campaign to change the subject away from economy and jobs to abortion", said John Koster, Republican candidate for Congress. "Here we have the worst economy since the 1930's, high unemployment, allegations of corruption at the Department of Revenue, and yet DelBene has told no one what she will do to help resolve any of these problems. That's because she has no plan", said Koster.

Koster Statement Regarding Video Circulated by DelBene Surrogates

Lacking in ideas and solutions for the enormous economic issues facing America, many "progressive" organizations and campaigns rely on dirty tricks and deception to sway close elections.

Everett, WA - October 31, 2012 - Responding to press inquiries in regards to a YouTube video posted today by an organization supporting John Koster's opponent, Suzan DelBene, Koster made the following comment: "Rape is a vicious and horribly violent crime, and no one in Washington State has been tougher on criminals and sex offenders than I have been, period."

When a state legislator, Koster authored and sponsored "two strikes, you're out" legislation for locking up violent sex offenders permanently. As a Snohomish County Councilman, John Koster is a long-time supporter of groups such as the Snohomish County Families and Friends of Violent Crime Victims and the Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County.

Ericksen requests full investigation, urges FBI involvement "if necessary"

Everett, WA - October 29, 2012 - Allegations of corruption and favorable treatment for well-connected taxpayers first reported by the Washington State Wire have now attracted the attention of a prominent member of the state's legislative branch, Senator Doug Ericksen (Minority Whip) R-42.

Ericksen sent a letter to State Auditor Brian Sonntag on October 26 requesting a "full investigation" into the matter and urged Sonntag to consider calling in the FBI's public corruption unit "if necessary".
