Check out this blog: Harris Miller is NOT a True Democrat

There's more, but go take a gander...
These are some of my faves:

Harris MIller is NOT a True Democrat - Reason #9 Added: Teacherken is an excellent teacher, and makes a great point below...

Reason #9: In August 2001, Harris Miller sided with huge corp0rate interests in urging the U.S. Senate to block access to broadband Internet service for rural areas. (Communications Today, August 2, 2001)

Harris MIller is NOT a True Democrat - Reason #8

Reason #8: In May 2003, Harris Miller sent a letter to member of the U.S. Senate urging them to oppose a bill that would have protected corporate CEOs from being held accountable for their company's tax returns by allowing that CEOs need not sign their companies' tax returns. (National Journal's Technology Daily, May 15, 2003)

Harris MIller is NOT a True Democrat - Reason #7

Reason #7: In September 2003, Harris Miller was charged with organizing a campaign to cover up evidence that Diebold's touch-screen voting machines could be easily manipulated. According to Bev Harris, a writer investigating severe problems with the machines following Al Gore's 2000 defeat by George W. Bush, Harris Miller reportedly told a meeting of voting machine manufacturers that it was important that the media never found out about the voting system's shortcomings. Miller was quoted as saying that he "didn't want a document floating around saying the election industry was in trouble." Miller lobbied for the industry. (Salon.com, September 23, 2003)

Harris MIller is NOT a True Democrat - Reason #5

Reason #5: In February 2003, Harris Miller sent a letter to Treasury Secretary John Snow, indicating his support for George W. Bush's tax cuts to the ultra-rich. (National Journal's Technology Daily, February 26, 2003). Miller also said on WTOP radio in February 2006 that he thought making Bush's tax cuts permanent was a "great idea."

Harris MIller is NOT a True Democrat - Reason #1

Reason #1: As a lobbyist for rabidly anti-union corporate entities, Harris Miller has a long history of being staunchly anti-union. On June 4, 2001, Miller wrote a blistering attack on unions published in Network World in which he attacked "union bosses," "collective bargaining," and "seniority systems." Miller even claimed that "union membership would minimize job flexibility, reduce the ability to negotiate wages and stifle...creativity." The story caused one labor official to characterize Miller as, "truly one of the bad guys" and to conclude that Miller's "anti-labor, anti-worker activities...find him unfit for any kind of labor support."

In October 2003, Cox News Service reported that Miller supported outsourcing of jobs for "a fraction of the cost" while contending that American workers should be willing to accept less pay in order to keep their jobs from going overseas. (Network World, June 4, 2001; letter from Washington labor leader to Virginia AFL-CIO, February 6, 2006; Cox News Service, October 20, 2003)

Guys, again...this primary race is tough, and it is such a shame, because it really doesn't have to be.  Miller should have dropped out when he rec'd all of the subtle and not so subtle cues from Dems around the country and in the great Commonwealth of VA.  However, he has chosen instead to destroy his own political career and selfishly put himself and his ego before his constituents.  Sad, really.

We cannot stop our efforts!  We can beat Harris Miller, and we will!  Now get out there to an event, make a T-Shirt if yours isn't here yet, attend a phone bank, hang some signs, talk to your neighbors about James Webb, and lets win this thing!

Rock and Roll, guys!
