Kurtz,patagonia fleece pullover a Prairie du Chien farmer wipatagonia fleece womensth no prior political experience, placed orders Wednesday for $40,000 worth of air time, according to the campaign.
The initial buys include $13,300 for spots on WEAU and $8,520 on WKBT, according to station records. The campaign says it also wilpatagonia fleece womens0l have ads on WXOW and cable channels.
Kind, who has held the seat since 1996, had not purchased any air time as of Wednesday, according to station records. His campaign did not respond to an inquiry about plans to run TV ads.
Kind spent more than $350,000 on air time in the 2012 contest, which he won with 64 percent of the votes. His challenger in thpatagonia coupon free shippingat race, Ray Boland, did not run television patagonia down sweater for saleads; the former commander of Fort McCoy raised a total of just $127,409.

We patagonia boots for saleraised what a congressional even a sitting congressional candidate would raise, he said.
Third quarter campaign finance reports aren t due to the Federal Elections Commission until Wednesday.
Politicians all spend 87 gazillion bucks on their campaigns. For all the money Kurtz has spent, I still don t know anything about him other than that he s posted a lot of yard signs. Maybe he s a great candidate, but voters need to hear what his goals would be as an elected rep of Wisconsin. Where is that information? On TV commercials? If I patagonia fleece womens3were a candidate, I would make a list of issues facing our state or our country, and send out a mailing of that list of issues, how I feel about them, and what I wouldpatagonia discount code delta try to do about them if elected. I bet 8 patagonia discount code interflora 10 pages would cover all that information, and I could send that to every address in the election for a whole lot less than $40,000. And every voter in my territory would have my thoughts, words and plans IN WRITING so they could study them and figure out if I m the guy they want to vote for or not. Instead, we now get ad after ad bashing the opponent, which tells us NOTHING about the candidate patagonia fleece womens1we might vote for.
Actually, Kind is one of the few Representatives that I hear about who actually works at his job. He writes legislation and takes an active role in being an elected official. There are WAY too many congpatagonia fleece womens2ress members whpatagonia guide jacket jazzo don t do that. And Ron Kind has a website that sends out newsletters. Those news letters don t just blow his horn, they list what actions he s taken about this issue or that patagonia guide pants dayone, so his constituents can see what he s doing. I would compare that with Sen. Ron Johnson. I don t patagonia guide pants velourremember reading about one piece of legislation or creative thinking that he has produced. Maybe he has, If so, THAT is what he needs to talk about in his next election, not about what s wrong with Obama.
