Sure, all the polls say we are going to win. Barring martial law, that is likely to happen. But winning is not enough. We have to DOMINATE. That means sixty seats in the senate. I'm not suggesting we take our eyes off the prize.... just aim higher so we clear the bar with room to spare. Here's something I put together to help put some wind under your wings.
More info below...
The senate candidates shown in the video all have good prospects for winning and flipping a Republicon seat to a Dem. If you want to help Barack grow some serious coat tails, throw them a little love and donate $20.08 to their campaigns. I know $20 is easier, but I always ask folks to dig just a little deeper and cough up the 8 cents because change matters!
Here's links to each of their sites:
Mark Begich (AK)
Al Franken (MN
Kay Hagan (NC)
Bruce Lunsford (KY)
Jim Martin (GA)

Here are the lyrics to the song for those of you wanting to sing along:
To the tune of "Sweet Baby James" by James Taylor. |
This is an old maverick who acts mighty strange,
Lobbyists and insiders are his constant companions.
He plays "follow the leader" as he guts regulations
Waiting for handlers his cue cards to change. |
He knocks off work early so he can retire
Dreaming about winning an election this year
Closing his eyes to a world that’s on fire
Mumbling about wars for the next hundred years
And says That One’s the one we should fear? |
It’s over you right wing bullies
We know who’s gonna bring change
No reds just blues are the colors we choose
You can’t scare us no more with your schemes
‘Cause Barack’s gonna bring real change. |
Now the fourth of November will be the big show
And we’re gonna turn out from LA to Boston
A sixty seat senate will just be the frosting
The primaries pumped us. We’re ready. Let’s roll. |
There’s a song that we sing Yes We Can win the good fight
A song that we sing Yes We Can live the Dream
A song that we sing Yes We Can make things better
Baby, if you believe it, then it truly can be.
So won't you stand up and sing it with me? |
It’s over you right wing bullies
We know who’s gonna bring change
No reds just blues are the colors we choose
You can’t scare us no more with your schemes
‘Cause Barack’s gonna bring real change. |
