In this election cycle, the DLC led Democratic party have upwards of 70 congressional seats "orphaned". In others words, NO MONEY or RESOURCES unless you are one of "their" target seat candidates...... This is the same short sighted thinking that has caused the Party to be in the minority, when the majority of the country think more like we do than those who are currently governing. The 46th District is one of these "orphaned and abandoned" seats.
A couple of election cycles back, not a soul believed that Loretta Sanchez could beat B 1 Bob Dornan. She is now a rising star in national politics. Her district borders ours. The people are related and share the same neighborhoods. Our early polling has shown that Orange County demographics are rapidly changing and so are the voting patterns. ( 2/3's of the district is in OC )
We can win this folks !! Do you realize how sweet it would be to add another DEMOCRATIC congressman "good ol Republican OC"?
Howard Dean has encouraged us to " change the Democratic Party from within." and this is a perfect opportunity to stop " business as usual " and rally around progressive Democrats .
The only fight we can't win, is the one we don't suit up for !
I'm attaching a direct link to the web site so that people can go straight there and contribute or volunteer online. Give us a chance to present good positive polling results to those in the Democratic party that control the purse strings.
Please give us some of your time and financial support.
