This should be good

Also Wednesday, all nine Senate Democratic freshmen plan to speak on the chamber floor on the issue of health reform, emphasizing "the costs of inaction," according to a senior Democratic aide. The idea came from Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, who is organizing the effort.

Yay Mark Warner! (via Twitter)

Sunday with the Senators - Home from Texas Edition

September 14, 2008 by admin

This has in many ways been a disheartening week. I left Texas the day before Ike began his assault, and I worry for the people I know in Texas, and hope that they are all right. Natural disasters are a time to be devoid of politics, and I hope you will take a few minutes, and your checkbook, and go over to the Obama site and use one of the links on the splash screen to help the victims. While even now we don’t know the full extent of the damage, we know that many homes were lost, power is non-existent for millions, and the need for food, shelter, clothing, and animal care is great.

The Rule of Ten

September 5, 2008 by Blue Virginia

So, you want to be part of the new progressive grassroots movement, but you don't know where to start? Not yet ready to sign on for phone banking or canvassing in a campaign?

Then, start small right where you live. This election is so critical to our nation's future that each of us needs to do something...anything...to get Barack Obama elected. There is a part you can play that is really easy.

Everyone can practice what I like to call "The Rule of Ten." This grassroots exercise is geared to getting ten votes for the candidates of your choice - in this case Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Mark Warner, and your local congressional candidate.

You surely know at least ten people who respect your opinion enough to be influenced when you discuss a candidate or an issue with them. They might be relatives, close neighbors, friends, people you work with (but no politics on company time, please!) If you can assure your candidate of ten votes, plus your own, you can make all the difference in a campaign.
