**CALL DCCC's Red to Blue campaign's Hill office! UPDATE

Last edited Tue Oct 9, 2012, 04:05 PM - Edit history (2)

and ask (firmly and kindly) that DCCC support WAYNE POWELL SOON! (for information, challenging eric cantor in Virginia's 7th Congressional District.)

Rep. Jared Polis (CO), Red to Blue Program Chair
Hill office - 202-225-2161

Just spoke w Alex in that office. Nice guy, 'will definitely pass this on.'
I told him Wayne said, at a rally I attended this weekend, that he had/has received $700,000 in grassroots support. That number is growing, and its time for DCCC to recognize this and do something for Wayne Powell.

I compared with attention they're giving John Delaney, challenging Rosoe Bartlett in MD # 6, as Senator Mikulski, Donna Edwards, and President Clinton are making appearances with Delaney, and said (nicely) that I don't appreciate the apparent disparate treatment these candidates are receiving

EDIT. IMPORTANT. You may mention awareness that DCCC is moving money around, as stated here:

Have seen Mudcat Arnold, and heard him on Stephanie Miller Show several times. This is ONE RACE that would make my heart go thump thump! Anything to get rid of Eric Cantor MUST be done!!

These are the most vulnerable congressional Democrats.

However, I guess I should add Heidi Heidkamp and Tammy Baldwin to this list.

got a female who acted like she didn't know what I was saying. She also asked me if I was a Polis constituent - to which I said no. But I told her that I was a committed and active democrat who felt strongly that the Dems in DC should be helping to fund Powell's campaign. Since Polis is chair of that committee, he shoud be notified if my desires. She said she would - ?????

Received a similarly positive reaction as Alex couple weeks ago when I called Donna Edwards' office. NEITHER of the guys I spoke with said anything about me being a constituent. (I prefaced my discussion with where I live.)

THANKS for calling tho!
