Hey Texas ... want to win in 2006?

The 2006 mid-terms elections are now less than one year away. We are faced with the great opportunity to take back one or both houses of Congress, or at the least gain a few seats. The country is ready for a change and Democrats are the candidates best suited to advance those changes. We, the evilDUers, the grassroots, the groovers on the underground funkroad, WE are the ones who can empower our party!

"Ok so what?" you may say. "What can I do about it?" Well, the first thing I want EVERYONE to do is go to www.ourcongress.org and check on your district. This is a fantastic website - good layout, good info, and good links. It is clean and easy to use, but it is lacking people committed to keeping the information up-to-date. There are competitive races that haven't been updated since the last election cycle! Go there real quick, check up on your district, and do what you can. If someone is running in your district but isn't listed, make a quick post and share a link. If a nasty Repug is stinking it up and noone knows about, post it. If you've got time, look at the other districts and maybe give them a helping hand too. If you've got money, drop $10 or $20 to worthy candidates. We need to target EVERY district. NO GOoPer should run unopposed. If we run an aggressive campaign in every district, we WILL take back the congress and put this country back on the right path. (check this out ;) )

Next on the list - go to the research forum AND your state forum to find out more about our situation. What are the districts and states we can take back? Who is the incumbent? Who is the challenger? Do you have info that isn't posted or see something that isnt up-to-date?

Last - find a few good candidates that you support and send them some money. Its a sad truth but it takes money and lots of it to beat incumbent bush-bots. A few $$$ can make a big difference!

OK thanks for reading this whole thread. If you agree, read, kick and vote. PEACE!

K/R...Thanks AlecBGreen

and the Dems are in a position to do some damage here.

Gotta plug my guy in Texas CD 6. Major David Harris, Iraq vet and long time dem party worker.

sounds like a good candidate! Is he posted on OurCongress ... ? Im sure he could use your help getting his message out.

We're over the top now.

If you can't crossover vote then just register as a repug. Make their primaries competitive and you may unseat the incumbent in the primary which makes the general election a little easier to compete in. They may even start eating each other in competitive primaries and using tactics against each other that they use against the Dems. You may even squeeze out election fraud whistleblowers. Point is, just make a mess out of the whole repug primary if nothing else.
