Carbajal sold to the highest bidder 

Salud Carbajal ran as a candidate who would support campaign finance reform and take money out of politics. Almost every voter can agree that this is a great idea, but U.S. Rep. Carbajal always tends to say one thing and do another.

After reviewing the recent donations, you can clearly see that Rep. Carbajal is bought and sold to the highest bidder, which in this case is Nancy Pelosi. She donated more than $4,000 to his re-election campaign, and he has rewarded her by voting 98 percent in lockstep with her.

We need a representative who can't be bought and cares about the people of the 24th Congressional District, not a "Pelosi puppet" who will say and do anything to fill their campaign coffers for their re-election.

I am very disappointed in Congressman Carbajal but not surprised. He has already received close to $250,000 this year alone from special interests. So I have to ask you, whose call will Rep. Carbajal answer when it comes down to voting on meaningful legislation? The hardworking taxpayers of the California Central Coast? Or the special interests that cut him big checks?

I'll let you decide, but I think we all know it is the latter.
