Vote for Loebsack in DFA poll
http://www.democracyforamerica.com/housevote

Here’s your chance to throw your weight around. Congressional Candidate David Loebsack is running against Jim Leach in the Second District and is seeking an endorsement from Democracy for America (DFA). You can go online and vote for David Loebsack starting today, September 13th. You do not have to live in the 2nd District or even be from Iowa to vote in this election!

Below is an excerpt from the e-mail that was sent to the candidates.

Dear Congressional Candidate,

Thank you for applying for a Democracy for America endorsement. We help elect fiscally responsible, socially progressive candidates to all levels of office - from school board to the United States Senate.

Earlier this year Democracy for America endorsed Paul Hackett for Congress in a special election in Ohio. We sent an email to our supporters urging them to contribute online to Paul's campaign and we reiterated the request through the Democracy for America website and blog. The response was this: over $90,000 in online, small dollar contributions to Paul Hackett in just 3 days. This money helped Paul go on the air days before his special election. He finished just four points from a victory in one of the most Republican congressional districts in the country.

Democracy for America wants to do the same for your congressional campaign.

Democracy for America will host an online vote to determine
which congressional candidate will receive our first 2006 DFA-List endorsement. The vote will be open to all challengers and open seat candidates. The candidate with the most votes at the end of balloting will receive a DFA-List endorsement and a national email appeal from DFA's Chair Jim Dean.

Democracy for America is committed to winning back the United States House and we are excited about raising your campaign the resources to win.

Sincerely,

Chris Warshaw
Political Director
Democracy for America

1. Thank you pstans, I was getting ready to post this same thing
Hopefully our good friends here will help Dave Loebsack out. Running against the 30 year incumbent is a real challenge. David has a good Democratic creds. An early DFA list endorsement would really help kick his campaign into gear. So help us out out there. We really need a Democrat to represent Iowa-2.

2. Here's hoping he gets the endorsement
However, being a first district resident, I felt compelled to give Braley a vote. Good luck to Loebsack.

4. Loebsack facing a 30 year incumbent
that some people mistake for a 'moderate'. I'd say Dave needs a real boost to beat that guy. Braley and Gluba won't be facing an incumbent.
