Jane, you still are the best candidate for the job. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough people come out and vote with their right mind or should I say left mind Take good care, it was a pleasure to meet you!

Jane,
The honor was mine. I am profoundly saddened by your loss as well as the loss of Frank and Vincent. I had such high hopes and expectations for my new state. I hope that our paths will cross again in the future and we can right the unholy dismantling of optimism and progress.

Jane,
It was such a privilege to have been able to work for your campaign. You are an amazing and inspiring person. I truly hope that you will remain active in the SC political arena and in the Democratic Party in whatever way works for you. In 19 precincts in Aiken County, you got at least 48% of the vote, and in some much more. I hope we will continue to see you often at political events.

Jane,
It was unfortunate that SC didn’t see the need for someone of your character and stance to lead us. We were HONORED to be part of your campaign. Please don’t be discouraged by the loss. Lets see how their choices do for them. They just may come around next time….
Best in your future.
Mike & Doreen

Great showing Jane. You did a great job showing what other Americans think about your policies. You are really in touch.

I doubt that I’m in your district (I live in the Wellford/Inman area) but as a former AF Pilot and a 20+ year Continental Pilot I would like to say “Atta Girl,” good luck, and kick butt.

Comment on Letter: A Vote for All of South Carolina by Emory Brown

Emory Brown — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 17:02:24 +0000

Jane is a deserving candiadate. I think it would be a HUGE plus for the state of South Carolina to have the only female veteran serving in the US congress.

Comment on SC ETV Airs Third Congressional Candidate Debate by den

den — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 20:41:30 +0000

saw the debate. you did well. one thing Mr. Duncan said–and I think you should go after him on this–was that some businessmen want him to cut the length of unemployment benefits so that laid-off workers will seek jobs. this is offensive for two reasons: one, that he’s against unemployment benefits (why not kick people when they’re down?); and two, it’s an insult to the working people of South Carolina, that they would prefer to receive unemployment checks rather than find honest work. how can we elect a man who doesn’t believe in the work ethic of South Carolinians?

good luck

Comment on Congressional Candidates Outspoken About Their Faith by Charlotte Holt

Charlotte Holt — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 02:29:43 +0000

I can’t believe how often Dalen insists that our Constitution is “Biblical” and that our founding fathers were Christian. He needs to review his American history–the primary authors of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams (and Abigail, for that matter) were good old Unitarians!

Jane, tonight on the forum with the two other candidates you did a super job. Not only did you look great, your pleasant demeanor was most evident and most of all your message was so on target and timely. Go girl!

My husband and I just watched the WYFF debates. We just want to confirm how wonderful you were. You were the only one who answered the questions with substance and conviction. Hopefully those on the fence or even off the fence were watching and will now know how to vote.

Comment on Letter: Supports Jane Dyer in U.S. House election by Linda Gallicchio

Linda Gallicchio — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 13:18:24 +0000

I wholeheartedly agree with Margaret. In addition to what she said, every time I’ve seen Jane, she is respectful of all people and conducts herself with a high degree of integrity. Electing Jane will also provide the nation with the ONLY FEMALE VETERAN in the House of Representatives. She cares about veterans, families, education, jobs–we couldn’t have a better Representative!

We sent this to the Greenville News

Dear Editor:

3rd Congressional District Veterans need someone who knows veteran’s issues.

Jane Dyer is the only candidate who knows the needs of veterans, being a veteran herself and married to a war veteran. Jane served her country as an Air Force pilot. Who else better qualified to represent veterans than a veteran? Jane’s GOP opposition has never served, making light of military service, even joking he outranks Dyer as “Colonel”. Colonel of what, one doesn’t obtain rank by eating Kentucky Fried Chicken. Jeff Duncan never served in the military and doesn’t know the needs of veterans. Veterans don’t need GOP candidates who place political agendas ahead of the needs of men and women who served. The GOP tried to block the current GI Bill. God only knows what harm they can do if they again gain control of congress. If GOP candidates win and continue to maintain their current strategy of obstructionism then veterans will lose the representation they deserve. Do not pay Duncan thousand of dollars to sit in Washington to just say NO. Veterans need Jane Dyer working for them. Choose the veteran Jane Dyer who will work and support Veteran issues. Jane Dyer will make life better for all who live in the 3rd district. Jane supports public education, supports job programs retraining unemployed for the better jobs, supports the Farm-to-School bill, and supports SC tourism. Jane will help those suffering through home foreclosures and bankruptcies and those in health care crises.

Vote YES for Jane Dyer.

Comment on Candidate Dyer Discusses Issues by Maxie Duke

Maxie Duke — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 19:26:30 +0000

Jane: I am not sure we can ever be totally without oil, and drilling off the coast of SC is no worse than drilling off the Gulf Coast. The problem is the driller(s), if you will, who take shortcuts that allow tragedies.

I agree with your healthcare reform stand. I am 83 years old, using the healthcare system extensively here in SC. The costs are the issue. I’m afraid the doctors will never give up their incomes that are really exorbitant. Both sides must compromise. More people paying into healthcare, fewer getting rich off it.

Comment on Letter: Dyer strong supporter of public education by Patty Warner

Patty Warner — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 13:34:24 +0000

You are so right Maxie. Jane will represent our district with intelligence, common sense and drive. I am so sick and tired of our schools coming in last in the nation. The “same old approach” is not going to improve anything. Dick Riley is the only Governor who ever helped education in SC. Jane sincerely cares about education for All our children.

Comment on Social Security: Life or Death? by Marnie Schwartz-Hanley

Marnie Schwartz-Hanley — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 13:31:56 +0000

This is a subject that has become a passion of mine as well. Every day that we are at Chapman Hous Community Center, we see our elderly, who are supposed to be in their golden years, deprived of pensions and living solely on Social Security, being charged 80 plus dollars out of that meager check for some of monies well below the federal poverty income limits for medicare payments.
We help them through the Benefit Bank of South Carolina to get access to more of their money through GAPS Rx help and SNAP (food stamps).
Privatizing Social Security will make many on Wall Street rich, but Main Street suffers and our elderly…those we can only hope to be someday suffer the most.
We Americans must stop those who seek to make a profit from human misery. There have been comments made recently about “making poverty too comfortable” by people who have no idea what “going without” means!
Let them live on $700 a month and tell me about it after a year! There’s a reality show I’d watch!

Comment on Jane Dyer Pledges Support for Charleston Port by Bill Kester

Bill Kester — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 12:30:19 +0000

It’s always good to know a candidate’s position expressed in clear and unequivocal terms. Having feedback from supporters as well as those on other sides of the issues is also useful. Unfortunately, candidates’ websites are an imperfect way to get the word out. Jane Dyer’s comments about her stance on support for Charleston Harbor are sensible. But how many people will read them on her website? Don’t websites essentially preach to the choir? Why haven’t
I read her comments in the op-ed column of the Greenville News where DeMint’s cut-off-his-nose-to- spite-himself appeared? Failing that, there must be other papers reaching the electorate in this district whose readership would like to know where she stands.

Comment on Jane Dyer Pledges Support for Charleston Port by Bruce Marshall

Bruce Marshall — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 16:05:18 +0000

Let’s face it, we have a clear choice to make in November between the Party of NO! led by Jim Demint and those who want to return to the policies that brought us the worst recession in 70 years and pragmatists like Jane Dyer, who will work hard for the average people of our state. You don’t need to be a nuclear physicist to understand that “just say NO” is not a responsible answer to the challenges that confront us. We need Jane Dyer as our Member of Congress, not a carbon copy of Jim Demint!

I was also impressed to see Jane out on a very hot Saturday afternoon knocking on doors and meeting voters face to face. She is a down to earth person who really cares aboout people. I think we can count on her to work for us folks back in South Carolina when she gets to Washington.

Comment on Captain or Colonel? by William Hamilton

Given the controversies about military service over the past several years, any person running for public office should be certain that they’re accurate about their service record.

Comment on Investing in Infrastructure Creates Jobs Now … And For Long-Term by Marnie Schwartz-Hanley

Marnie Schwartz-Hanley — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:52:02 +0000

I’ve often wondered what passenger trains would do for this state, more-so than the ill-timed Amtrak in Columbia or Clemson.
A railway connecting the Upstate to Charleston, for example could boost tourism & interstate commerce in ways we can only dream of right now, and what if there were railways connecting our towns and villages?
We would have a stronger workforce if there were stronger work supports in place; better infrastructure to get folks to work.

Thank you Jane, for having a vision for our state!

Comment on DYER CAMPAIGN TO GO “BARNSTORMING FOR JOBS” ON SATURDAY by Lavelle Marcengill

Seeing Jane and John Dyer fly into the Liberty Airport in their vintage CUB airplane was like seeing all the strenght and long-lasting qualities that I have come to know about Jane shining through in their airplane. The CUB airplane has st…ood the test of time and so will Jane. She has the stamina and energy that we need in a Congresswoman. She has all the goodness and good qualities that every person should strive for. She is honest and everytime I have heard her talk with people, she is straightforward and has some very sound ideas for solutions to the problems we all face in District 3.
