You are a respected attorney and friend, so let me answer your question. While my domestic political positions differ considerably from those of Hunter, and I am particularly wary of his stands concerning the border and immigration, I also recognize that he is a strong vote for our national defense as well as for standing by true U.S. allies such as Israel. Given the lackluster field running against him, I believe he’s the man to keep in office. Now, if you ever filed as a candidate in that congressional district , I’d be very tempted to reconsider
Don,
Thankfully I’m no longer in a Hunter’s district as I had been for the last 32 years. I’m astounded that you’d endorse … Hunter. What the heck are you thinking?

Have you seen this video released last week detailing Bob’s history of creating positive change in San Diego? If not, see why so many voters know that Bob Filner is the only candidate with the leadership and experience needed to move our City toward a brighter future. As Bob said himself, we have the opportunity during this election to choose a new direction:
“Why not have a city where we dream again of greatness? So let’s dream! And working together we will make San Diego America’s greatest city.”
This election is nowhere near decided! Every vote will count, so please forward on to friends and family!
