another endorsement

From the Jeff Smith Camp

**************FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE******************

June 24, 2004 - Jeff Smith announced the endorsement of Citizens for Global
Solutions in his bid to succeed Dick Gephardt in Missouri's 3rd District.
The endorsement confirms Smith's status as the progressive choice for
Congress and adds to Smith's growing list of endorsements including that of
Gov. Howard Dean.

Citizens For Global Solutions is a non-partisan organization with 17,000
members nation wide that believes there is an urgent need for solutions that
transcend national borders. Global Solutions is committed to the
establishment and reform of democratic global institutions and advocating
for an American foreign policy that works in concert with other nations to
solve international problems.

Don Kraus, Executive Director of CGS, said that Jeff "has the compassion,
commitment, and candor to bring leadership to his constituents and to the
U.S. House of Representatives. We wholeheartedly endorse his candidacy for
Congress."

Kraus went on to say that the group supports Jeff Smith's goal of an engaged
America that plays a cooperative leadership role in the world. "From our
current situation in Iraq and Afghanistan to future threats and challenges,
Jeff has a vision of America working with concerned groups, other nations,
NATO, and the United Nations to find global and equitable solutions. He
pragmatically understands the contributions that international institutions
have and will continue to make in building a world safe for Americans.
Where many give lip service to these goals, we believe that Jeff will work
consistently to achieve them."
