sick of bush dogs? put your money right here!
a lot of you probably got this email today from jim dean. but i wanted to add a personal note that northside dfa has adopted mark pera. that means that time, money and some very savvy campaign help will be on his side. please add your few bucks to this effort. dan lipinski needs to go. i know this is something that every one of us here agrees with.
so, chip in!! today!!

Dear mo,
Primaries Matter! Support Mark Pera against a Bush Democrat with $15 today.

With Democrats like Congressman Dan Lipinski, the Republicans don't even need to run a candidate.

There are some Democrats - Bush Democrats - who claim to represent us, but vote with Republicans on too many issues that matter.

Send a message to Congress: You're on notice. Regardless of political party, when Congress won't represent the will of the American people, then DFA members will fight to replace them with someone who will.

This is one bright blue Democratic district where we can make a change; Mark Pera is the progressive in the primary. Support Mark with a contribution of $15 right now:

Congressman Lipinski is out of touch with his district. He can't stop himself from voting with the Bush party line to prevent life-saving stem cell research or give oil companies even higher profits. He's even voted five times to keep funding Bush's war and supports keeping troops in Iraq beyond 2010.

But this election isn't just about bad votes; it's about leadership and community. Hand-picked by the party machine to take his father's seat in Congress, Dan Lipinski is a poster child for the culture of incumbency.

Mark Pera represents the culture of activism. He worked his way up from the local school board to the State's Attorney's office by taking action and engaging members of the district. Pera has built a relationship with the community and has proven his ability to lead.

Local DFA members are already on the ground supporting Mark by knocking on doors, making phone calls, and recruiting volunteers for their People-Powered Campaign. Please back up their hard work with your hard support by contributing $15 today:

Time and again, Bush Democrats have let America down. Now, we'll show them why primaries matter.

Thank you taking action today,

Jim Dean
Chair
