In 1992, she and her husband founded the New Jersey Children's Museum in Paramus to improve preschool education. Over 100,000 visitors each year come to the Children’s museum and enjoy a wonderful family experience at no expense to taxpayers.

Dr. Sumers is an accomplished leader who has served as the spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, in which capacity she appeared on Good Morning America, Good Day New York and was quoted in USA Today, The New York Times and Self Magazine. Dr. Sumers has also published over 50 articles, ranging from the New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA to Newsweek. In addition, Anne Sumers was one of the first members of the Million Mom March to reduce handgun violence.

HUSBAND? drats! Oh, well, best of luck next Tuesday Anne!

WHaT tHe HeCK?!!
I am confused! Anne, YOU are a DEMOCRAT?
and YOU are comparing your opponent to the terrorist???
Why not a WORD on your website about being a DEM!???

You really should loosen up, buy a gun for protection, and come over to our side!
Really Anne, gun purchases went up 500% in your area when the terrorists struck last year and this, because people don't feel safe! And with police like Inspector Moos-eau, how can we feel safe? Thank GOD for police that know what they're doing like Alabama! (and those guys don't cringe over using the death penalty either! Yea Alabama!)

So sadly Anne, I have to withdraw my best wishes for you Tuesday, plus any implied offers of --whatever--- that I might have made to you.

The Garrett campaign sharply criticized the ad.
"I think it's sickening to see Anne Sumers exploiting the tragedy of the sniper shootings in a cheap attempt to get votes and avoid the real issues," said Evan Kozlow, a spokesman for the GOP contender.

I humbly submit that the GOP and their candidate, Garrett, ought to have come out with both barrels loaded against this ad. Better yet, they ought to have been the first to note that the sniper situation revealed how blatantly futile 'gun control' laws are in stopping criminal behavior, and how outright dangerous it is to disarm peaceful citizens. The right to keep and bear arms IS a "real issue" and ought to be treated as such.

Garrett and the GOP ought to have run an ad of their own, pointing out the obvious benefits of the right to keep and bear arms in the defense of home and family in times like these. It would be honest, straight-forward, and resonate with the undecideds as well as the base, who have just had their true helplessness in an unarmed society glaringly pointed out to them by the sniper.

Pointing out as well the number and nature of the 'gun control' laws in his state that were already broken by the sniper - didn't slow him down at all in fact - with statistics of crimes prevented by the simple sight of the gun in the hands of the intended victim, would go a long way toward educating the moderates and energizing the base.

Anything less appears defensive, and you don't win elections by letting your opponent call the shots.

I've got an ad idea of my own:

People named "Muhammad" tend to vote democRAT. Why? Because they don't want their adversaries to shoot back.

Wasn't it a Million (or thereabouts, we don't need to be specific, do we?) Mom Marcher who shot her husband? Wasn't Rosie a MMMer, and didn't she have a body guard armed with an handgun? Isn't Anne a proponent of Choice, that greatest of all moral virtues?

A woman's best bet in protecting her 'Right to Privacy'
- which we can all agree is the supreme right of women -
is her loaded sidearm
in her purse or on her person.

more infant children are killed by scissors to the brain than assault rifles

This would make a great bumper sticker, or billboard. The billboard could be right in front of a baby killing clinic.

The DNC are lying,hateful,hypocrital,scum terrorists so this does not shock me.

They terrorize the American public daily with their vile hate and lies. Especially when their OBL= HRC speaks.

Calling archy..

Looks like a good thread for that KKT terrorist ad titled KKT likes keeping Marylanders disarmed

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend likes the idea of keeping Marylanders disarmed

PICTURE

Terrorist snipers agree with her.

Vote KKT and help kill another Marylander

As was demonstrated in Minnesota, the Democrats are always happy to climb a pile of dead bodies in order to grab that gold ring.

Used to be that whenever there was a death, you could see the liberals and Democrats cutting lazy circles over the body. Now, as the electorate gets more and more stupid, they are swoopind down for beakfulls of rotting flesh.

It's a Hail Mary that's all. She was going to lose regardless of the broadcasting of this ad.

I'd like to ask Marge Roukema just what she thinks of her friend Annie.

BTW, just heard an excellent ad for Garrett...on WABC radio.

Yes because his guns were obtained legally in the first place /end sarcasm

The dems should quit trying to trample our 2nd Amendment right. Every American has the right to defend their family and the right to defend America and our freedom.

weikel...you hit the nail right on the head and pounded it all the way home. We ned to get rid of these illegals. No gun control is goig to protect us if the border patrol and INS refuse to.
