Barbara Boxer asks you to support Bill Nelson

A few weeks ago, I told you about my friend Debbie Stabenow who
is running for re-election to the U.S. Senate from Michigan.
Thanks to your generous support, PAC for a Change contributed
$10,000, the maximum we can give, to her campaign -- $5,000
for the primary and $5,000 for the general election.

Well today I'd like to spend just a few minutes talking about
another Senate colleague who is up in 2006, and urge you to join
me in working as hard as possible for his re-election: Senator
Bill Nelson of Florida.

I've gotten to know Bill Nelson quite well through our work
together on the Foreign Relations and Commerce committees. He is
a tremendous public servant, committed to giving everything he's
got for his constituents. I value his friendship and his
dedication to the people of Florida.

First elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 1972,
Bill Nelson went on to serve as a U.S. Congressman, Florida
Treasurer, and Florida Insurance Commissioner before his
election to the Senate in 2000.

Senator Nelson has been a major proponent of our nation's space
program, even spending six days on the Space Shuttle as a
Congressman. He shares my commitment to the environment:
protecting the Florida coastline and the Everglades, a national
treasure, are very important issues for him, all Floridians, and
all Americans. In addition, Senator Nelson has been a vocal
supporter of Social Security and Medicare, as well as defending
Americans' right to buy prescription drugs from Canada to make
them more affordable.

It's absolutely critical that we work together to return Bill
Nelson to the Senate next November -- because the choices in the
election couldn't be more stark.

Just last week, Republican Congresswoman Katherine Harris -- the
same Katherine Harris whose partisan antics as Secretary of
State helped deliver the White House for President Bush in 2000
even though he lost the popular vote -- formally announced her
intention to run against Senator Nelson next November.

Katherine Harris' entrance into the Florida Senate race will
unleash millions of Republican special interest dollars --
dollars that will undoubtedly be spent to smear Bill Nelson's
record of accomplishment.

That's why it's so important that we join together to help Bill
Nelson, starting right now:

Contribute to PAC for a Change today -- so we can support Bill
Nelson now and all the way through Election Day next November!

I also hope you'll take a moment to visit Senator Nelson's
campaign website, and sign up to join his team.

1. This Floridian says, Sorry Barbara, tell Nelson to ask MBNA for the money.

Nelson is one of the Democrats who voted for the egregious and one-sided bankruptcy bill, already signed into law, and which is a giveaway to the banks and credit card companies with millionaires protections left intact.

3. So the alternative is Kathleen Harris YUCK and double YUCK

4. No, but don't ask me to contribute to his campaign. Harris may not be the

Republican candidate--especially after her disastrous media interviews last week. She made a complete and utter fool of herself.

Nelson will get my vote, but let him get his money from the banks and credit card companies he sided with.

5. The GOP is making moves to get Harris out of the race.

There was an article today...will find.

6. Harris can only win if she's "Diebolded" in actually she's a joke

running against Bill Nelson!

9. I'd forgotten about that. Thanks for reminding us! n/t

2. Bill Nelson is one of the good guys!

F*cking Florida must get bluer - AND we must demand verifiable paper ballots for voting. Always remember and never forget, verify the vote or face more regret...

8. Bill Nelson is not blue. He just says he's a dem. n/t
