The above information is provided by http://www.opensecrets.org/ The cash on hand is significant as republican incumbent Roscoe Bartlett has $279, 585 compared to democratic challenger Jennifer Dougherty who has only $19,240.
Due primarily to the heavily weighted republican registration in the 6th district, Roscoe Bartlett has held this seat for 16 years. This, in spite of his ineffective record of serving the voters in western Maryland.

We can't let Roscoe win again!! He is so out of touch with his district. Jennifer Dougherty needs to raise more money. SO..let's all give her some! Be involved! I will give 100 to her campaign. any idea where to send it? COME ON. Let's send Roscoe home so I can have my husband back from Iraq!

I won't vote for Jennifer, let alone send her any money after the horrible way she acted in her only term as mayor. Then when Ron Young beat her in the primary she turned around and helped the republican candidate get elected.

Link to her website. A link is provided on George's page.
What is really bothersome about this report is the percentage of money Roscoe receives from PAC's.

Please provide proof. Proof is not the venom of Roy Meachum.

As one who does not support Bartlett, I will not vote for Dougherty. Is there a Green Party candidate?
