 Calls Massey’s positive campaign pledge ‘misleading’ web posted October 25, 2007 AIKEN – Representative Bill Clyburn, candidate for Senate District 25, today called on his opponent, Shane Massey, to denounce the anti-public education group South Carolinians for Responsible Government’s latest misleading attack mailer and their private school voucher agenda. Representative Clyburn’s criticism of Massey follows yesterday’s attack mailer sent to voters in Senate District 25. The mailer from the anti-public education group – South Carolinians for Responsible Government (SCRG) - attempts to mislead voters on his voting record in the SC House of Representatives. Shane Massey, 32, relied on the support of the Columbia-based anti-public education group to smear his opponent Bill Hixon in the GOP primary. Mr. Hixon was on the receiving end of multiple negative attack mailers during the primary and run-off. Throughout the GOP primary and run-off Mr. Massey continuously claimed he was engaging in positive campaigning, even challenging his opponent to sign a “clean campaign pledge’ while SCRG was trashing his opponent on Massey’s behalf. “Mr. Massey’s claim of running a positive campaign is misleading. He has outside groups doing his dirty work so he can keep his hands clean. If he is serious about a clean campaign, he should denounce the anti-public education group attacking me and he should denounce SCRG’s private school voucher agenda,” said Clyburn. Editor’s note: It is illegal for a candidate to have any contact with a Political Action Committee (PAC) or their activities. If Mr. Massey were to attempt to contact, influence, or make suggestions to the PAC or ask them to stop their activities he would be in violation of campaign laws in South Carolina. On Tuesday Rep. Clyburn said his campaign would not resort to negative tactics and would "stick to the issues" ©
