YOU can help defeat CANTOR! [View all]

[font color="red" size="5"]YOU can help defeat CANTOR![/font]

Obviously there is a lot happening in your own districts and nationwide with the upcoming elections. We need a bit of help here in VA’s 7th to help Wayne Powell DEFEAT Cantor.

Specifically, we’re asking for help getting the DCCC involved in this campaign. It’s time to put some serious pressure on the DCCC to formally endorse Powell. Even if they don’t give him actual cash, we think Powell should be on their “red to Blue” list, which will enable us to get a LOT more media attention and raise much more cash on our own.

[font color="blue" size="5"]Please help us contact the DCCC. Flood their lines and FORCE them to pay attention to Powell and Democratic values! Here is some direct contact info.[/font]

[font color="blue" size="4"]Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) - 202-863-1500 (main #)[/font]
Steve Israel - Chair
Robby Mook - Executive Director
Jay Swanson - Asst. Director answers calls
[font color="blue" size="4"]Rep. Donna Edwards (MD), Red to Blue Program Chair
Hill office - 202-225-8699[/font]
Campaign Mgr - Jeremiah Pope - 301-669-0011
Representative Donna Edwards will chair the DCCC’s successful Red to Blue Program, in addition to her duties on the recruiting committee. Edwards served on the 2010 recruiting committees (2010) and has worked with Democratic Members and candidates on their progressive outreach and fundraising plans.
Rep. Jared Polis (CO), Red to Blue Program Chair
Hill office - 202-225-2161
Campaign Mgr. - Lisa Kaufman - 303-381-0121
[font color="green" size="3"]Representative Jared Polis will chair the DCCC's successful Red to Blue Program, in addition to his duties on the recruiting committee. Polis has worked with the DCCC and Democratic Members and candidates on their technology as well as LGBT outreach and fundraising plans.[/font]

[font color="blue" size="5"]Additionally, if you would like to contribute to the campaign directly, we have had a special link set up just for DU. 100% of your contribution goes to Powell’s campaign and using this link gives DU the credit. If you send a check via snail mail, just add DU to the memo.[/font]

I know times are tough; you have work, dinner, the kids, bills, the lawn, football, etc, etc, etc. I do too. If you can take just 5 minutes out of that very busy life to help us DEFEAT CANTOR you, your family, your friends, and everyone else you know will be better off November 7th.

Even if you don’t have the time, but you’ve gotten this far please kick the thread so someone else that has time can see it later. Thanks so much for your valuable time.
