Peter King (NY-03) is an Asshole (Episode 7); Mejias Speaks!! 
.
I am also doing it because this is the year we can defeat King. New York's Third district is trending blue, and extreme right wingers like King are completely out of step with the voters in the district. Moreover, Bush's popularity is at record lows in New York and the district, and conservative voters are likely to be depressed by the Republican prospects at the top of the ticket, with Hillary and Spitzer dominating, and will likely stay home.
But perhaps most importantly, King face a top-tier blue chip challenger, State legislator Dave Mejias.
Today, on MyDD, Dave Mejais addresses the netroots:
In a recent Newsday article, Peter King endorsed a proposal to base our airport security on a full-scale racial profiling program. This is a cheap election year stunt aimed at motivating King's ultra-conservative base, NOT at increasing security. The security of our country is a serious problem that requires significant thought and practical answers. King has repeatedly shown that he cares little for coming up with a real solution.Then, Peter King (probably stung by the criticism he received) dramatically reversed himself. During an appearance on Fox News Sunday, King's new opinion was that airport screeners should merely take into account a person's ethnicity as part of the threat equation in combination with displayed behavioral characteristics. His initial position followed by his subsequent flip-flop further proves that King, the Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, has no serious solutions for our nation's flawed security procedures.
Read the whole thing.
And after doing that, show Dave Mejias some love by contributing to his campaign at his ActBlue page here. Dave needs to raise his name recognition in the district, and he needs money to do that.
And if you can't contribute, consider recommending this diary so that others will see it and have the opportunity to contribute.
Thank you.
