Hey, I'm just piggybacking on your thread to plug a good man that just might be able to turn a very red California seat blue....and take Doolittle to the woodshed in the process.

No, not that Charlie Brown, but Iraq war vet and Democratic hopeful Lt. Col. Charles Brown, who is taking the fight to the California Foothills. Sacramento for Democracy has the scoop:
Is this the beginning of the end for Boss Doolittle? Will you be able to say that you were there when it began?
Charlie Brown will take on Republican John Doolittle in one of the most
conservative districts in Northern California. Lt. Colonel Brown is
the Paul Hacket of California -- both are veterans who are against the
war in Iraq. Paul nearly knocked out a Republican challenger in one of
the most Republican districts in Ohio. The 4th district of California
does not have as much Republican registration as does Hacket's
district, but it does have 48.14% Republicans as of February 2005 and a
large number of Decline to State, independent voters.

I'm Charles D. Brown, Lt. Colonel, USAF Retired and I'm running for Congress to represent the people of California's 4th congressional district.
Like a growing number of Americans, I think our country is going in the wrong direction. I am challenging incumbent John Doolittle because he has put the interests of big business, lobbyists and special interests ahead of middle-class families for too long. I'm ready to bring new direction and leadership to Washington.
We need ethical representation in Congress to resolve the issues that are important to all our families. I'll work hard to create common sense solutions to issues that matter most to us, like protecting our Social Security benefits, keeping American jobs at home, making good healthcare accessible to everyone, supporting strong, safe schools for our children and ensuring clean water and air for us and future
generations.
Working together, we can stop out-of-control deficit spending and bring the war in Iraq to a quick and secure resolution. I'm confident we will build a stronger America by focusing on values that unite us.
I'm asking for your support of my candidacy for Congress. Join me in fighting for a brighter, more secure future for all Americans.
Thank you,
Charlie Brown
