Help Choose DFA's All-Star Congressional Candidate

[jreilly4261]

I picked the following in an attempt to support candidates as close to the Northwest as I could:

George Fearing WA-04; Mark Welyczko OR-01; and Will Shafroth CO-02

The All-Star will receive substantial financial and volunteer support from DFA nationally.  Comment to let me know who you voted for.  -joe
 
Choose the 2008 Grassroots All-Star Now

 

With all the media attention on the presidential primaries, it would be easy to think they are the only elections in 2008.

That's why for the next three weeks, while the pundits go crazy talking about polling data that's probably wrong, we're going to focus on the 2008 races that will deliver a progressive Congress.

Nominate your favorite congressional candidates for the DFA 2008 Grassroots All-Star endorsement right now:

DFA endorsements have always been driven by our members. You're the boots on the ground making a difference in your community. When you tell us who you support and why, we listen.

Over 80 congressional candidates have applied for your endorsement. And starting today, you can choose to nominate up to three of those candidates for one of the most coveted endorsements of the year.

Your 2006 Grassroots All-Star, Jerry McNerney, went on to beat a 14-year incumbent Republican in a district no one thought he could win. Here's what Congressman McNerney said after your support propelled him to victory in November 2006:

"DFA's 2006 'Grassroots All-Star' online congressional competition provided us with the crucial early funding and buzz we needed to compete and win in November. This was a people-powered victory that you helped make possible by volunteering and contributing to our campaign for change."

Choose our next Grassroots All-Star by nominating your candidates right now:

The DFA Grassroots All-Star isn't your typical endorsement.

The winner earns the financial support of our 675,000 nationwide membership, hundreds of volunteer hours by local members on the ground, and the media buzz generated by our national spotlight. Perhaps the biggest prize of all, the DFA Training Academy will train DFA members and campaign staff in the winner's district making sure everyone learns the skills to win.

This isn't your typical contest either.

Voting isn't a spectator sport, it takes action to win. You need to get out the vote for your candidate. After you vote today make sure you ask your co-workers, family, and friends to vote too.

Think out of the box. You can write a post for your local blog or call into a national radio show. You can hand out flyers at a local political event or go door to door in your neighborhood. If you get five more people to vote for your candidate, you might be the supporter who puts your candidate over the top.

Vote now, spread the word, and make victory happen.

Thanks for putting George Fearing's name up there. George is a great candidate and should do well. DFA support would be outstanding and any efforts are appreciated.
