I am glad to see the party has finally taken the 2nd District of Nebraska seriously. In 2004, Jim came very close to unseating Terry on a no-budget, grassroots campaign. Now lets send some money towards Jim so we can start putting up TV ads to counter Terry’s lies.

With the help of the Red to Blue Committee Jim Esch will defeat defeat Lee Terry who has been in Congress for 10 years and has passed a total of 1 bill to change the name of a federal post office.  Jim Esch is the candidate that the people of the 2nd congressional district needs.

Jerry Hall

Thanks for adding Daniel Johnson (NC-10) to the list. Great candidate.

Please consider adding Josh Segall (AL-03) to your Red to Blue list.

Scott Harper in IL-13 is running a smart, energetic campaign that’s drawing grassroots volunteers from all over. He’s had phonebanking friends as far away as MA and WA and canvassers who not only smell an upset but are building it, one voter at a time all across the district.Today we had another “13 townships for the 13th” canvassing event. With the predicted thunderstorms all day long we feared a small turn out this morning but incredibly we almost ran out of walk packets. LOL I don’t know about Repubs but McCain’s and Palin’s lies sure are energizing our base in Illinois in the 13th. I’m still drying out from canvassing in the rain today.

It’s satisfying to see the DCCC reward his campaign’s hard work. Hopefully with the DCCC’s help we can afford the mailers and TV to expose 10 year incumbent Judy Biggert’s devotion to Bush, her hypocrisy on energy and her money con backing.

Please add Segall in AL-03 to the Red to Blue List. He is running a great campaign. He is continually attacked by his opponent who says he is pro abortion. As a result, I have decided that if Rogers can lie, I am qualified to state that Rogers is pro incest. Can’t see much difference. The problem is lies stick like glue. We need a fresh Democrat in our district to bring back jobs and invest in renewable energy.

It is fantastic to see that the DCCC has begun to recognize Scott Harper’s bid for Congress in the IL-13, but this race deserves more than just emerging races. The conditions are ripe for an upset in the IL-13. Biggert’s been there for 10 years, but she’s never seriously had to run. Scott is running a smart, serious and aggressive campaign. With the proper resources - such as a red-to-blue placement - this is a seat that the Democrat’s can definitely pick up. Lets make it happen this November.

The second district of California is in serious need of change. Republican Bush “lapdog” Wally Herger (R) needs to be ousted. I suggest you seriously look into the candidate Jeff Morris (D) who is challenging Herger. You can hear an interview with Jeff at http://interviews.progressivenewsradio.com/?p=18
