If you are for Dean, have a friend in VA or are progressive

Please take action on the following, either doing something in person, or forwarding this to a friend in Virginia. The republicans went on the air yesterday, and while I didn't listen to their ads, the visuals said "democrats are bad, vote for me!"

I got the following from a dean group in VA. thanks

The entire Virginia state legislature is up for election on Tuesday, November 4. Casting your ballot is one important way to advance your values, but it may not be your most powerful tool. By volunteering for progressive candidates, you can help turn out the votes that will be the winning margin in close races right here in Northern Virginia.

All progressive campaigns in your area will need volunteers in the next 9 days, especially on Election Day and the weekend before. Even if you have only an hour to spare, Jamie Daly, People For the American Way's Virginia Field Organizer, can connect you with volunteer opportunities that will have an impact.

Call or e-mail Jamie and, depending on when and where you can work, he will put you in touch with an appropriate campaign.

The Religious Right's influence in the state legislature has grown over the past two elections, and it's time we turned back the tide. Progressive candidates are offering real alternatives to the Right's increasingly frequent attacks on public education, a woman's right to choose, church-state separation and more.

Here's the bottom line: We can't beat right-wing challengers and incumbents without progressive candidates, and these candidates can't win without your help. Give the little extra effort that can mean the difference between a good race and a great victory.
