Dear Friends,
If you have been reading the newspaper, you have probably seen our campaign make a few headlines recently! The past two weeks on the campaign trail have been INCREDIBLE, and I wanted to send you a personal message letting you know what our campaign has been up to.
At the Republican caucuses in early February, I spoke in five different counties about the need for real conservative leadership here in Maine. I discussed the three pillars of the conservative movement that MUST be united in order for a Republican candidate to be successful in winning this open Congressional seat in November: fiscal conservatives, social conservatives and national security conservatives. It's easy to talk about conservative principles, it's another thing altogether to provide real conservative leadership on the issue that are most important to Maine's citizens. I am a firm believer that the way a candidate campaigns for office tells the voters a great deal about how they intend to serve once they are elected. Mainers from across the district are supporting my candidacy because they are tired of career politicians talking about change, but failing to produce real reform once they are elected.
Join my campaign today, and help me continue the fight to unite the three pillars of the conservative movement and create a coalition that can win this seat in November! We have over one hundred volunteers helping our campaign, join the movement to help the citizens of Maine get their voice back!
Warm Regards,
Dean Scontras Republican Candidate for Congress

Conservative Leadership on National Security
Dean Debates Democrat Candidates on the Constitution Offers Conservative Defense Against Attacks from the Left
PORTLAND- Dean stepped into the "lion's den" as the lone Republican candidate participating in a Congressional candidate forum on the "Plight of the United States Constitution" this past Wednesday in Portland.
Dean argued forcefully that national security should be a top concern for Maine's next Congressman, and defended our military and our intelligence community's ability to use every legal tool at their disposal to detect and prevent a possible terrorist attack in the United States.
Dean was the only candidate at the forum who argued that our national security and keeping Americans safe is more important that the impeachment of President Bush!

Scontras Debates Democrat Candidates Across the District
Eager to Debate Republican Opponent
PORTLAND- Dean Scontras has had the opportunity to debate the Democrat candidates seeking Maine's 1st District Congressional seat many of times in the past few months.
These debates have helped highlight the significant differences between Dean and the other candidates running for Congress, both on their issue positions, but also on the fact the Dean is the only political outsider running in this race.
But there are also significant differences between Dean and his Republican opponent on key issues such as the economy, healthcare, illegal immigration and abortion.
Dean Scontras for Congress Campaign Manager Michael Pajak sent a letter this week to the Summers for Congress campaign inviting them to participate in a series of no less than three debates before the June 10th Republican Primary Election.
We are looking forward to a spirited debate on the issues!
