Last night at midnight was the filing deadline for the second quarter. Our campaign did very well, receiving an average online donation of $40. But then we noticed something this morning - - My opponent's average online donation was $700.

Yesterday was the first day of the petition season to get my name on the ballot for NY-13 and our dozens of volunteers, all determined to Get America Working Again, knocked on hundreds of doors and spoke to their neighbors and friends about our message of hope and determination.

Recently, my opponent Vito Fossella published a piece of campaign literature featuring a picture of myself beside a photo of Osama bin Laden. A vote for Steve Harrison, he claimed, means you support Osama bin Laden and terrorism. Just this week, new literature was released citing an article in the Staten Island Advance, quoting me as rejecting unconstitutional NSA programs because "they violate the rights of terrorists."

Not only are these claims untrue, but they are purposeful distortions. Vito Fossella has crossed the line past "playing politics," and moved into telling lies. This was noted in the Staten Island Advance on November 2nd when they stated, "Once again, the apparently desperate Fossella campaign has shamelessly distorted his opponent's reasonable position, and lied about the source of the fabrication by attributing it to the Advance."

Three debates down, two to go, and we're going strong. I want to thank everyone who's been blogging about my debates. As many have already pointed out, you can watch some videos of the matches here.

Before running down some of the highlights, let me just say I'd wanted to get into the ring with my opponent since I entered this race. And while I was hoping Vito Fossella would agree to debate - the voters deserve to hear from their prospective representatives - I was still surprised when he accepted five, the conventional wisdom being if you're ahead, don't get in the center of the ring - just dance around. The quick back story is that after avoiding my proposal for months, after I went to his campaign headquarters with a copy of that same proposal, and after, we have reason to believe, Fossella took an internal poll, he finally agreed to debate.

There's a lot going on in our campaign - just yesterday we were joined by representatives from the UFT and several elected Dems at a press conference on improving education - but I wanted to comment today on the terrible scandal currently taking place in DC. As a Congressional candidate, I can't let this go by without expressing how gravely upset I am by Mark Foley's acts and by the Republicans' cover-up. It's clear that Dennis Hastert should resign. As speaker of the House - not just of the Republicans but of the entire House - his irresponsibility besmirches all members of Congress. Yet my opponent - the very one who claims to be "an independent fighter for us" and makes no mention of his being a Republican anywhere on his site - is showing just how loyal a Republican he is, sticking by his cronies even when they refused to protect -indeed helped to harm - children.

Most people don't think of Republicans when they think of New York City. But surprisingly, a Bush rubberstamp is in Congress "representing" hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. I'm one of many constituents who do not feel well represented.

I'm Steve Harrison, and I'm challenging NYC's only Republican Congress Member for the NY-13 House seat - that's Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn. With just over a month left until Election Day, I wanted to take a moment and say, things are looking good. Read More
