A friend of a friend sent me an email and assured me that his buddy Dave was good people and that his candidate, similarly, was good people.
But clearly, good people need a little more help pimpin their causes, because an email to me isn't nearly as good as a posting on dKos.
Hence the Diary.
The email text after the JUMP... edited to be suitable for the blogosphere.
Howdy. Sorry to spam y'all. How's it going?
The purpose of this spam is political. As almost none of you know, I'm volunteering for Coleen Rowley's campaign for congress when I can. I'm excited about the work and excited about Coleen's candidacy.
Why do I like Coleen? Aside from the fact that she's the FBI lawyer (now retired) who blew the whistle on King George's "Gee, no one could have anticipated a terrorist attack on the U.S." nonsense, I believe she's also a progressive Democrat in the mold of Paul Wellstone. You
can take my word for it, or you can decide for yourself by perusing her site:
http://coleenrowley.com/
Assuming you've read this far, and you agree that Coleen is good people, I'm finally about to get to the point of this message, which is to ask you to go to the following site and vote for Coleen:
http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com/...
Voting closes at midnight, so please do it now! If Coleen wins (she's currently in second place), Russ Feingold will donate $5000 to her campaign. So, this would really help her. And if you're really energized by Coleen's candidacy, as I am, you could choose to spam YOUR mailing list of progressive and possibly-progressive friends.
Finally, as long as I'm bothering all of you, I should mention that I'll probably be doing a lot for Coleen between now and next November.
Coleen could use all the volunteers she can get so if any of you are interested in hearing more/helping out --- especially if you live in Minnesota's 2nd congressional district --- let the campaign know.
