Wayne Powell campaign headquarters vandalized! cantor supporters more than nervous!

[elleng]

'As many of our Twitter followers already know, our campaign HQ in Chesterfield was vandalized last night. Offensive, vile language was spray-painted on the exterior of the Branchway office. While this was indeed an act of hate, we know that the people of the 7th District are far better than this. The citizens we meet each day represent a different kind of philosophy. One of hard-work, decency and hope, Not blind hatred.

Acts such as this are often committed in order to dissuade. But nothing will dissuade us from standing up for what is right. The women of the 7th District and the nation have a champion in Wayne Powell, whether extremists like it or not.

Your outpouring of support has been truly overwhelming. We thank you.'

2. SO PISSED, gate!

This + vote machine tampering, and tossing vote registration documents, http://www.democraticunderground.com/1081555 where I'll be doing Voter Protection Tuesday, really getting to me.

4. Dunno of course,

and I'm in MD and my friend on the campaign is busy today, but hope so too. They're out and about today.

Maybe worth some press???

5. I'm so sorry that teabaggers are so vicious they have to lash out and destroy..

actually this could backfire on their vile collective ass.

Got that Optimistic email from Wayne Powell..

"We are almost there! This has been an amazing campaign thanks to all of your efforts, and we are so close to defeating Eric Cantor. Your support has been tremendous. This weekend is all about how we win."

Thanks, elleng, obxhead, and all those who are working for and supporting the People Powered Campaign of Wayne Powell for the 7th District in Virginia!

9. Thanks, Cha.

Sure hope it backfires. Just looked for 'news' about it, hoping someone covered it locally. fb post said it was tweeted, but didn't see anything on google.

[Nay]

6. I absentee-voted already, and voted for Powell, of course. I would die happy if that twerp Cantor

got defeated. I'll be watching TV Tuesday night from Tennessee, and I hope we get good news.

7. GREAT! Thanks!

8. For everyone's info,

heard from friend working on the campaign:

'We're fine here - whatever picture you saw was probably the one I took when I got in this morning and saw it. Relax - some idiots.'

As i didn't see a picture but just a FB post, I don't know what it looked like. Will look for 'news' now.
