Send John Shadegg Packing
June 30, 2007
It’s time for John Shadegg to go. Arizona’s CD 3 has been targeted as one of the 40 districts of interest for a turn over by the DCCC in 2008. A loss by Shadegg would be a major blow the national GOP, not to mention giving Democrats a majority in our House delegation. Shadegg ran
