HELP PLEASE, folks! GET ERIC CANTOR OUT OF CONGRESS

Last edited Sun Oct 7, 2012, 08:44 PM - Edit history (1)

and support us all!!!

Contact Congresswoman Donna Edwards' Congressional office, and Congressman Jared Polis, and let them know you/we want DCCC to help WAYNE POWELL in his efforts against eric cantor, in Virginia's District 7.

Ms. Edwards was and Mr. Polis may now be head of DCCC's Red to Blue effort, to turn currently red congressional districts into Dem districts. They're helping selected Dem candidates to do so. Apparently DCCC wants to see grassroots support for such candidates, in the way of contributions, to justify DCCC's 'help.'

I attended a rally for Wayne Powell in Richmond, VA, yesterday, where he said (among other things) that he's received $700,000 in donations 'so far.' He's clearly receiving more daily.

So contact them and let them know, by leaving message (usually a pleasant person answers phone calls) that Wayne Powell has PLENTY of grassroots support, and its TIME FOR DCCC to contribute, too.

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

THANKS!!!

EDIT: Wayne wrote today on Facebook: Today, we've received shout-outs from Texas, Massachusetts, California, New York, Nevada, Kansas, Florida, New Jersey and Arizona. There's no better proof that Eric Cantor is a national problem than these all-important voices. Thank you for your words of support!
