Today, O2B candidates were involved in primaries in Connecticut and Florida. For CT-05, O2B candidate Chris Donovan lost to Elizabeth Esty, who will face state Sen Andrew Roraback. For the Connecticut Senate race, O2B candidate Chris Murphy will face Republican Linda McMahon. And for FL-25, O2B candidate Joe Garcia won his primary and will face a corrupt first-term Congress-critter.
In addition, to making a financial contribution for the Orange to Blue candidates, we can volunteer for their campaigns. Links to volunteer sign-ups and their Facebook profiles are listed below the orange squiggly.

Joe Garcia (FL-26) -
Joe Garcia is running against one of the most corrupt Republicans in the House—and you know that's saying something! Even though Florida is a swing state, only 6 of its 25 members of Congress are Democrats. Let's change that!

Chris Murphy (CT-Sen)
Last year, Chris Murphy stepped up to finish what we started in 2006, and announced he would lead the charge against Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary in 2012. Not long afterward, Lieberman announced his retirement.
Now we need to make sure Lieberman is replaced with a true progressive Democrat.

Elizabeth Warren (MA-Sen)
