Dear Congressman Holt,

Congratulations! New Jersey Citizen Action's Political Action Committee is proud to endorse you for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives for NJ's Congressional District 12. As the state's largest citizen watchdog coalition, NJCA pays careful attention to the critical national and international issues facing New Jerseyans. Your principled stance on issues related to health care, Social Security, campaign finance reform, and the war in Iraq are just the kind we need to be heard in Washington, DC.

Your responses to our candidate questionnaire showed strong support for all of the major concerns facing our members and the public at-large. We are especially pleased with your support for reversing the privatization of Medicare and finding real solutions for the high cost of prescription drugs, such as by creating a real Medicare Rx Program. We are confident that, as a member of Congress, you will commit yourself to protecting Social Security from privatization, supporting tax fairness, and to finding a way for US troops to return home from Iraq.

The PAC was impressed with your overall concern for affordable, quality health care for working families and seniors, as well as campaign finance reform and budget and tax issues, you will give voters in Congressional District 12 an advocate who will fight to improve their communities and make government work for everyone.

NJCA's PAC believes that you have demonstrated the vision and commitment on the issues to achieve our common goals of decreasing the cost of living while increasing the quality of life in New Jersey. We will be working to register, educate and mobilize voters in the district to get to the polls and re-elect Rush Holt to Congress on Tuesday November 7, 2006.

Sincerely,

Phyllis Salowe-Kaye
Executive Director
