Last chances to vote for Skinner!
Edited on Thu Jun-22-06 11:05 AM by skinner4congress
I urge all of you wonderful DU readers to vote for the most deserving progressive candidate in the Democracy for America runoff.

http://tools.democracyforamerica.com/housevote/


Nancy Skinner is running in the 9th Congressional District in Michigan. After the floods of 1993, she persuaded the White House to coordinate numerous federal agencies to rebuild towns in a sustainable way. With experience with the environment, media, and development, Nancy will go to Congress to create jobs and economic development while being environmentally sustainable. In addition, she is the only candidate with the courage to "green" the auto industry.

Thank you for your support.

7. Thank you!
So much for your kindness. Nancy likes to post and comment in several blogs and forums, especially since she came back from Yearly Kos and had such a blast! She sincerely appreciates the effort and kindness of her supporters. I will let her know you said that!

Thank you everyone! We are back in 1st place but it's been very tight. Please tell everyone you know! Nancy is the best candidate to win this GRASSROOTS contest perfectly suited for her.

27. paid advertisements???
I just noticed McNerney pulled into the lead by buying banner ad slots?!

That just seems a little pricey for the title of "Grassroots All-Star"!

31. Ostroy Report endorses Skinner
Andy Ostroy, an old friend of Nancy's, has endorsed us on the Ostroy Report! http://ostroyreport.blogspot.com/

We are asking anyone who can spare a minute of their time to vote for Nancy Skinner by 5pm est today. I cannot emphasize enough how important this race is to us. Nancy has proven throughout her career that she is the most deserving progressive candidate to win this grassroots campaign. We had briefly retaken the top spot after her appearance on Mike Malloy last night. We are asking for the support of every DU member. Thank you.

Alright, who just voted?! Somebody bumped Nancy into first place!

Keep it up DU, the poll is still extremely tight. A couple of votes could determine this!

Thanks all you DUers who voted for Nancy. I've been nowhere near a computer all day and just got home and see she's in first place! Less than an hour to go. Great work, everyone.

Wouldn'tcha know Jerry's profile is at the top of the page on DFA now?

Are you at the office -- they must be going nuts about now. Of course, we won't really know until Monday.

BTW - tell them I heard her on Malloy's show last night and she did a great job!

43. no..
Unfortunately my grandfather passed away yesterday. I'm with family in Lansing, which obviously comes before volunteering at the office.

Lot of free time here though, so I'm following this closely.

Nancy's profile was on DFA a few days ago too.

44. Oh, Jordan, I'm so sorry about your grandfather
I saw her profile there, but his is up there right at the end of the voting. Six more minutes....

My thoughts are with you and your family.

46. At 4:55 Nancy was in first
When I went to check right at 5, voting was closed and they no longer showed who was in first, so I assume she still was. Now we just have to wait and see. With IRV, she could have wound up in first and still not win in the end. It will be a stressful weekend waiting for the final results.
