Competition for DeFazio in 2010- is this true?

I just came across this post below, just wanted to see if this is true, if so, it would be such great news. Would be so great to see the transaction tax promotor lose his seat in Nov 2010.

"
Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) may not have such an easy road in his reelection. A stronger Republican canditate with national visibility, Art Robinson entered the race last week just before the entry deadline. http://www.artrobinsonforcongress.com/.
 
Defazio FTW:
I opposed the Bush's 2005 Budget Reconciliation plan that cut student financial aid to cynically pay for millionaires' tax cuts. I also supported the 2007 College Cost Reduction Act that increased Pell Grants and lowered interest rates on student loans; this bill increased federal student aid by $20 billion--the largest increase in 65 years.

I also put my money where my mouth is. I have funded 177 need-based scholarships at community colleges in my district from $290,000 in Congressional pay raises I refused to accept until the federal budget is balanced.
 
It never fails to amaze me how such politicians can take action to propose a bill without enough technical knowledge and research ...

No DeFazio!

Great first post.

There's only ONE thing you can do with DeFacio: write him an e mail, talk him to reason and hope he'll read it.
Or do you have another idea...?
 
the biggest thing that you can do if you live out of his district is write a check to his opponent. I firmly believe in politics you have to put your money where your mouth is, or quit complaining.

This is exactly how people like Boxer stay in power, out of state contributions. Anyone know what the guy's web site is so I can make an online contribution?
