Zelma "Tisa" Blakes website is up!

[funkybutt]

You can now donate through her website using credit cards. I encourage EVERY DUer to send SOMETHING to help her out in her campaign. Sure she's a newcomer, but she's got a lot of energy and enthusianm, plus she is the ONLY DEMOCRAT in the race.

1. Zelma Blakes

Last Friday I mailed her a small contribution. The following Monday she phoned to thank me (says she got the phone number from my check). She sounds wonderful...32 years old African American with 2 small children. She said she has been getting alot of love from people all over the country, but NO support from the Democratic party.
Nevertheless she says her campaign is moving ahead.
How can we help? Someone suggested letters to the Democratic party asking them to give her full support.

2. thanks for your support! you rock!

That really sucks that the Democratic party is not supporting her. Guess they're just going to lay down and let the Republicans have this one. I'm getting so frustrated with the party's inability to capitolize on opportunities like this! I think the idea about writing letters may be a good one.

By Howie Klein...mentions Zelma Blakes as candidate to support along with others, stressing how important congressional races are.

I would like to post this link elsewhere on DU, but don't know how to do it.

8. I mean

I know how to post a reply to someone else's post like this. But let's say I wanted to start a new topic on latest breaking news instead of replying to another post, how would i do that?

[funkybutt]

9. OH! okay here's how

when you select the forum that you'd like to post a topic on, there's a bar of options at the top. The fifth option from the right is "POST". The "Latest Breaking News" forum has a bunch of strict rules for posting, so please review those.

Now Start Posting!
