Why Can't Chris Lee Tell The Truth?
Lee hides behind lies and attack ads, won't talk about positions

Unable to explain why he supports failed policies that have led to the worse financial crisis in a generation, Chris Lee is now hiding behind lying attack ads. He has refused to explain his positions, is hiding from debates with his opponent, and now, in an act of desperation, is refusing to even tell the truth.

Realizing that he can't win on the issues, Lee is using the millions he made from creating jobs in China instead of Western New York to distort Alice's support of middle class tax cuts. The last thing the people of Western New York want is another Bush Republican giving more tax cuts to millionaires and more profits to Wall Street CEOs, insurance companies and Big Oil.

"Chris Lee said he was going to talk about the issues, not that he was going to lie about them," said spokesperson Anne Wadsworth. "Lee is hiding from the press, hiding from the voters, and hiding from the truth. People want someone they can trust, not someone who will spend millions of dollars to lie to their face."

While Lee keeps trying the same tired old attack politics, Alice is out in the district talking with voters and explaining how she'll help our struggling middle class. Alice will bring good paying alternative energy jobs to the district, support tax cuts for our hardworking families, provide affordable health care to all, and end the War in Iraq safely and securely.
Chris Lee, on the other hand, doesn't seem to want to talk about the issues. He refuses to say where he stands on the financial crisis, on job creation, on outsourcing or on healthcare.

Maybe Lee thinks those issues aren't important, but voters in the 26th district are tired of millionaires who think they can buy an election while ignoring the real life concerns of the people of Western New York. Lee just doesn't get it. He needs to stop distorting Alice's position on tax cuts, and start focusing on explaining his own stand on the issues.

"I'm very disappointed by my opponent's shameful actions," said Alice. "He owes the voters of this district an apology for avoiding their questions and then lying to them. We don't need this kind of attack style politics in our part of New York. Lee's lies won't create one new job, fix our broken health care system, or change our energy policy. The voters of this district deserve a representative they can be proud of, and Chris Lee has shown he clearly isn't it."

Will Chris Lee continue to hide behind false political ads or finally make himself available to the voters?
