NovemberVictory is a group of Democratic congressional candidates meeting in St. Louis August 18, 19, and 20. The group faces the same problem nationally that the candidates face locally -- getting the press to cover their campaigns.

Texas Democrats Say National Support Lacking here.
The Texas candidates deserve a round of applause for their bravery in true Party building. Their efforts are true to the original philosophy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Democratic Party. They have succeeded in bringing the issues to the forefront. The Texas candidates will meet in San Antonio before the St. Louis convention.
NovemberVictory has been organizing online. Some political action committees (PACs), including labor unions, have supported the group's efforts. Democratic Commitment Conference Political Action Committee (DCCPAC) has distributed an invitation. See it here.
The facts are clear. The congressional candidates have been working. When will the national media listen?
