I wish Congressman Hinchey all the best in his retirement and with his health.  I respect and salute him for all the long trips he has made through this large, eight county district and his many years of public service.

Many in the district will always remember our very exciting, close race in 2010 that saw campaign visits from Bill Clinton and Ed Koch.

We have remained active on the campaign trail and in touch with our many supporters.  And with them, we anxiously await the results of redistricting.

Dear Friends:

With the debt crisis, out of control spending in Washington, and a continued stagnant economy, it greatly saddens me to think where we are as a nation.

I still believe I can make a difference in Washington but need your help.

Many supporters have already signed up for our monthly donor program --- which we are now calling our "Patriot Program."

When Benjamin Franklin reflected on our completed Constitution at the Constitutional Convention, he felt confident that our best days as a nation lie ahead and in the future.

Let's do what we can to make sure the same is true today.

Please sign up for our "Patriot Program" through our "Donate" or "Support George" links.

Sincerely,

George K. Phillips
Candidate for Congress
