Hey Fellow DU'ers the Party needs your help!
Did you know there is a Congressional Election this Tuesday!
The California's 48th District. The right wing wacko running against a solid progressive candidate is one of the founders of the "Minute Men Project." Yes that is right... the new racist armed organization setting up camp on America's Borders! Jim Gilchrist - Look at this guy:

The good news is there is a solid unity campaign to beat this right wing nut, and they are getting tons of additional last minute support from labor rank and file. Steve Young for Congress. This guy is the real deal and a true progressive!

IRVINE, Ca. – On Wednesday, August 31, 2005, Region 18 of the California Democratic Party voted overwhelmingly to support Steve Young for Congress from the 48th District. The Party voted to enthusiastically endorse Young over a field of three other candidates, including John Graham, who had earned the endorsement in the previous two races for the 48th district Congressional seat.

I am flying out there to help mobilize nearly 300 rank and file labor brothers and sisters in the last few days of the GOTV effort. We need all hands on deck. This could be a huge win for a progressive Democrat!
