If you are a 7th District voter I ask you to go to both Perlmutter's website and then O'Donnell's. Look for what each has to say on terrorism.

O'Donnell is for enforcing border security. What's more is this information he sent out in e-mail.

"Too many politicians hide behind poll-tested sound bites, blind partisan loyalty and devotion to their special interest masters.

Not me. As uncomfortable as it may be at times, as controversial as it may be, I will speak truth to power.

And the truth is, we are fighting a global enemy - Islamic Fascism - that wants to do Americans harm. The truth is, we have men and women in uniform putting their lives on the line and they deserve our unconditional support. The truth is, we have a Commander in Chief deeply committed to protecting America. The truth is, one political party in this country isn't serious about winning in Iraq. And the truth is, we need a new plan in Iraq if we are going to succeed."

I don't know how you feel about calling what we face Islamic Fascism. I'd imagine, though, that you feel that it's a shoe that fits.

Perlmutter isn't going to call a spade a spade.

We don't need any more mealy-mouthed, shades-of-gray politicians. We need someone who is willing to call 'em like he sees 'em.

That makes O'Donnell the choice for the 7th District.
