"Electing Charlie Brown would be a great thing for this country. Think of having a congressman that you don't have to pay $100 or $1,000 just to talk to him! I have yet to meet a resident of this district who has had the privilege of talking to (Doolittle) without having to attend a chamber of commerce meeting or a fund-raiser to even talk to him! Charlie has promised that if elected, he will hold meetings at places like this, and he will listen to what you tell him, and he will listen with care. What a thing that would be!"

Former Republican Congressman Pete McCloskey speaking on behalf of Charles Brown.

"My name is Joanne Neft, and I'm a Republican! Something has been happening in Placer County over the past ten years-- Republicans who were afraid to disagree are now saying "You're wrong, Mr. Doolittle!"

The Republican party left me, I did not leave the Republican party. This is not the Republican party that I grew up with.and respect. So, for now, I am supporting Charlie Brown with all my effort. Republicans and Democrats need to get together-- It takes a village to clean house! I hope all Republicans will join with me to make a positive difference in this election."

"This is about all of us coming together. That's why it's so good to know there are both Democrats and Republicans here, and unless I've missed something, there haven't been any fights or arguments breaking out. That's a good start--we want to keep this going!

Our Constitution starts out "We the People of the United States.." and that's what we want-- We are the people and we want to get united again. We want to start solving problems again for this county. Is there anybody here who doesn't want affordable health care, clean air, clean water, and affordable gas or some alternative fuel so we're not so dependent on foreign oil? I know everyone here wants security for the country, but we've had a secure country for over 200 years without giving up our civil liberities. If we take our Congress back, we can go another 200 years, keep our civil liberties, and live in a country we're proud of!"--Lt. Col. Charles Brown, Congressional candidate, 4th District.

"We deserve better in Congress, in this district and in this nation. This Congressional race is also very personal to us on one particular issue-- that's because our son will be serving his 4th tour in Iraq as a captain in the Air Force. The message we want him to carry is that when he goes, his dad will be in Congress."--Jan Brown, wife of Charles Brown.
