Obviously there is a lot happening in your own districts and nationwide with the upcoming elections. We need a bit of help here in VAs 7th to help Wayne Powell DEFEAT Cantor.
Specifically, were asking for help getting the DCCC involved in this campaign. Its time to put some serious pressure on the DCCC to formally endorse Powell. Even if they dont 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]
