I need to be brief, as I am in the middle of other work, but wanted to share this news with the dKos crowd -- Joe Sestak is scheduled to appear on CNN tomorrow morning and afternoon! This should be great national coverage for a great candidate! I just received an email from the campaign and thought that there may be some folks that would be interested in seeing one our netroots candidates get some press coverage. The campaign release sounded very upbeat, and they are giving "Crazy" Curt Weldon a strong challenge in PA-07, so it should be a couple of interesting segments. I'll share the email with you below the fold:
Here is the email from the Sestak campaign:
Watch Joe on CNN
Wednesday, August 23, 2006 between 6am and 10am and between 4am and 5pm on CNN!
Tomorrow, on Wednesday, August 23, CNN will be airing a segment on Joe and our campaign!
CNN's National Correspondent Bob Franken arrived in town today, following Joe to a health care rally and an address on national security that Joe gave to veterans and other supporters. We're very excited about this segment. Don't miss it!
While the exact times of the segment are still to be determined, Joe is currently slotted to appear on CNN's American Morning, which airs between 6AM and 10AM. He is also scheduled to appear later in the day, on the Situation Room between 4PM and 5PM. Unfortunately, both times may be subject to change depending on CNN's coverage of late breaking news.
Make sure to tune in, and don't forget to tell friends and family!
A segment on CNN is just the latest in a series of successes your work has made possible. On Monday, Senator Christopher Dodd came into town for a rally on children's issues. Over 150 people attended! In its write-up of the event, the Delaware County Daily Times reported:
"If Monday was any indication, Sestak's campaign against U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon, R-7, of Thornbury seemed to be gaining momentum, as the crowd applauded after nearly every statement by Sestak or Dodd. A group of enthusiastic supporters in the back of the room also broke out numerous times with chants of 'Joe, Joe, Joe!'"
This campaign is building momentum every day. Keep Charging!

Sestak for Congress
Me again: Times are Eastern, so adjust accordingly. Tune in to see what a great candidate Joe is -- he is just the kind of person we need to get elected. He has a resume that is second to none and is personable, hardworking and undeniably patriotic. He delivered the Democratic response to the President's Saturday radio speech this past weekend and received amazing kudos here on dKos for that effort. Now he is getting national attention.
Go get 'em, Joe -- you are fighting the good fight!
