Urgent Request for Help
Edited on Mon Jun-02-08 02:42 PM by IA_Seth
Hello! Please help me keep this kicked, and PLEASE take a minute of your time to help me keep my state house district BLUE!

I have been helping Gretchen Lawyer with her campaign for State Representative in House District 36. I write today to ask that you help me help her win! Ms Lawyer will be a wonderful addition to our Democratic majority, and a strong voice for education, technology, and working families across Iowa.

However she does have a tough opponent to overcome and we need all the help we can get to promote her message in our district.

That's where you can help!

Please take a moment to go to:

http://www.tomharkin.com/action/building-blue

Once there, select Gretchen Lawyer - District 36, along with Sharon Savage for State Senate in District 40 (per fellow Iowan and DUer, Rurallib)! The winner of this online contest will receive a donation from Tom Harkin of $2000.00 and be placed in the finals for a chance at another $5000.00...

Thank you ahead of time for your help! Our campaign could really use the funds, and this would help put us over our goal!

1. Can I piggy back on youi Seth and ask for votes for Sharon Savage
Edited on Mon Jun-02-08 02:39 PM by rurallib
in senate district 40? People can vote for one senate candidate and one for the house. We currently have a state senator who lives in the 1950s and he simply must go. I cast my votes for Lawyer and Savage.

4. This asks for your name and
address. Can a NYer vote for this or Iowans only?

Tom Harkin is a favorite of mine, voted for him in the '92 primaries.

7. Thanks!
I was just testing the site to see if it would allow your vote.. picked 90210 since thats the only 'foreign' zip I can seem to remember! It worked.

One more vote for the greatest page! Thanks for your help!

11. Thank you!
Our district can be relatively conservative-leaning at times, so it would be great to have a common sense, former educator helping amplify our voice in the state house!

Thanks again!

13. Last day to vote...
And the last kick, I promise.

Thanks for all of the help we've received so far... remember, this is like donating 2000.00 to a worthy cause without it costing you a dime!
