Dear Fellow Americans,
My name is John Rinaldi, and I am a Progressive Democrat running for
Congress restore our nation to the people and to help put our country
back on track. On June 6, you will cast the most important vote in our
District's history. It is a vote to send one Democrat forward to the
Fall election to take on Duncan Hunter. I am ready to help retake our
District. I am Duncan Hunter's exit strategy.

Our nation has seen great waves of progressive vision in the face of
adversity: FDR's New Deal, JFK's New Frontier, and LBJ's
Great Society. We are at a cross-roads in this election. As Eleanor
Roosevelt once wrote:

To meet these new challenges we look for new ingredients in our public
servants, an elasticity and flexibility of mind that enables them to
change in order to meet changes; an alert and hospital intelligence that
can grasp new issues, new conditions, new peoples. We look especially
for a man who knows what he thinks and can make his views clearly
understood without ambiguity or hedging. We need a man with the courage
to stand up and be counted on major issues.

I invite you to visit my 20/20 Vision for the 21st Century
<http://rinaldi.sitebuilder.completecampaigns.com/sbcc/personalinfo.php?\
page=biography&seq=11> . I am committed to economic dignity for all
Americans, protecting reproductive freedom, universal access to health
care and education, fiscal responsibility, protecting the environment,
and true security—not unnecessary wars.

I have proposed a Congressional Ethics Pledge
<http://rinaldi.sitebuilder.completecampaigns.com/sbcc/personalinfo.php?\
page=biography&seq=35> . to bring back honest leadership to our
nation's leaders.

I believe in a government that benefits those whom it serves, not those
who serve it. I have been building a coalition of partners that reflects
those in our District, as shown through my endorsements: major labor
organizations, veterans, young Democrats, the Chicano Association,
Asia-Pacific Islanders, teachers, women, and local, state, and national
leaders. These individuals and groups support my campaign because they
believe that America can be better—and that together, with your
help, we will make it so.

I ask for your vote on June 6. My name is John Rinaldi, and I am ready
to represent you.

Your friend,

John
