CD-5 Race is HOT!
Another Dem is in for Hefley's seat - Curtis Imrie:
Curtis Imrie, a Granite rancher and filmmaker who was the Democratic Party’s nominee in 2002, will take another shot at the 5th Congressional District seat being vacated by Rep. Joel Hefley.
This time, the 59-year-old said, he will spend some money.
Former Air Force Academy professor Jay Fawcett, who has garnered endorsements from such notable Democrats as Sens. John Kerry and Ken Salazar, had hoped to avoid a pri- mary. Fawcett said Thursday that he does not plan to change his message or strategy despite Imrie’s presence.

Still, his campaign will revolve around showing up to “all the VFWs and churches and bars” he can find in the six-county district and talking with people, he said.
Good luck, Curtis. I say the more candidates, the more attention to our issues, and the more pressure on Republicans to distance themselves from Bush. This will also expose the rifts in the Republican party - for all the citizens in CD-5 to see for themselves.
Have a nice retirement, Mr. Hefley. We're going to try to undo all the horrible stuff your president has done the last 5 years.

You should have published Mr. Imrie's announcement of candidacy, which had Capitals in All Sorts of unusual and Interesting places. Almost read like he was sending a secret message.
After meeting and working with Curtis the last year or so, I find him to be well-read, well-spoken and open to new ideas/opinions. I admire his lifelong commitment to democracy. Take the time to talk to him or check out www.fairplay2congress.us or www.curtisimrie.com. It's refreshing to meet someone who can speak directly and has a genuine concern for people and their well-being.
