Plans call for an independent advertising campaign aimed at countering Foley's own estimated half-million dollar war chest. The advantage of this approach, according to Hartman, is that people no longer have to guess which challenger is likely to win. The PAC will promote the winner of the Republican primary, no matter who it is. If you want to defeat Speaker Foley, support Reform Congress 94. The primary election will identify the best challenger, and we'll put him into office.
Every day makes that goal more likely.
Anti-Foley sentiment is surging in Washington State's Fifth District. Yard signs decry his stand on term limits. When Washington State voters overwhelmingly approved term limits, Foley went to court and had the vote thrown out. That left no room for doubt. Foley went out of his way to oppose the wishes of his own people, and now they're mad.
