GOP Leaders Call On Patrick Muldoon to Stop His Dishonest, N=
egative Campaign

Dear Friends,

O=
n behalf of the hundreds of grass-roots activists in the 9th Congressional =
District that give of their time, energy and money in support of our Republ=
ican candidates, we are writing to call on Patrick Muldoon to stop =
his slash and burn campaign of distortions against our friend and fellow co=
nservative, Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling.

Before he=
became a Washington, DC attorney, Patrick Muldoon lived in the 9th Distric=
t in Giles County.  We have known Patrick for many years and m=
any of us put a great deal of energy into his previous campaign for Congres=
s.  It is an understatement to say that we are disappointed to see the=
path he has taken.

Over the last 13 years Patrick Muld=
oon has run for public and party office no fewer than 6 times – and l=
ost.  He has run for Congress twice (1996, 1998) – and lost.&=
nbsp; He has run for Commonwealth’s Attorney  (1999) – and=
lost.  He has run for Congressional District GOP Chairman twice (2006=
, 2008) – and lost.  He has run for a seat on the State Central =
Committee (2006) – and lost.

Sadly, Patrick ha=
s never even won a single precinct in a general election in his home county=
of Giles. 

The bottom line is that Patrick has b=
ecome a perennial candidate.  Having run out of offices to seek in the=
9th District, he has allowed himself to be manipulated by a small faction =
within our party and is now running a personally negative campaign against =
one of the most reliable conservative voices our party has ever had in Rich=
mond – Bill Bolling.

Bill Bolling is a conservative we can=
count on, and he has something that Patrick lacks: a record to back it up.=

  Bill’s record includes:
 

• A 100% pro-f=
  amily voting record from The Family Foundation

• A 100% pro-li=
  fe voting record from the Virginia Society for Human Life

• En=
  dorsed by the Virginia Society for Human Life (2005)

• Support=
  ed parental notification and consent legislation, a ban on partial birth ab=
  ortions and higher patient safety standards for abortion clinics

i>

Cast the tie-breaking vote to deny state funding to Planned Parenthood=

• Fought to restore abstinence education funding that Governo=
  r Kaine stripped from the budget

• Led the fight to pass the M=
  arriage Amendment

• Has opposed every tax increase proposed by=
  Governors Warner and Kaine

As his record proves, Bil=
l Bolling is a proven conservative leader.  To somehow suggest that Bi=
ll is “Planned Parenthood’s favorite Republican” or a pro=
moter of a “hooked up cultural agenda” is offensive and dishone=
st and Patrick Muldoon should know better.

Some of us approached=
Patrick at the outset of his campaign and encouraged him to find a more co=
nstructive outlet for promoting his values.  We are disappoint=
ed that he chose to ignore that advice and we are angered by the individual=
s who have used Patrick as little more than a weapon in a misguided attempt=
to tear down Lieutenant Governor Bolling and destroy our party. r />
We hope that you will join us and the individuals listed below in=
rejecting the half-truths and politics of negativity that Patrick Muldoon =
has embraced.  We hope you will join us in supporting Bill Bol=
ling at the Republican Convention in Richmond on May 30th.
