All 50 states right? Every Congressional District is important right?
Pennsylvania is a swing State, much has been written about Bob Casey and Ed Rendell and Chris Carney and a few of the other Democratic Stars from the Keystone State. But I live in the PA-9th NOT the 10th where Chris Carney is doing well but the 9th, land of the Shuster Dynasty where there hasn't been a non Republican sent to congress since Andrew Johnson.
So Daily Kos'ers (is that even close to correct?) you tell me....
How do I get you guys to pay attention to a district that nobody seems to care about?
I've got a total mediocrity of a Republican incumbent who got his seat because his father, who "retired" from Congress (shortly after a 60 Minutes expose) had him appointed to the post. He is not popular hereabouts and the recent gerrymandering of the PA-12th the PA 5th and PA-9th CD's made him even less popular.
I've got a PA state GOP still in turmoil over a traumatic May 16th revolution of a primary.
I've got a candidate who managed to get 2,000 write in votes, a smart, friendly, passionate, courageous, well spoken teacher who would be a committed and conscientious public servant. A Progressive Democrat, who knows how to act in the best interest of his District, his State, and his Country
I've got a re-energized County Committee in the largest city (Altoona) and Democratic volunteers springing up like dandelions all across the district.
I've got a candidate who can win !
What I don't have are funds (Hey, man it's a grassroots thing) and you guys talking about it.
I figure if I can get you guys talking about Tony Barr, the funds will come.
(FYI) We're on the act blue site, the DCCC site, and others.
So how do I do that, How do I get you guys talking about Tony Barr, Candidate for the United States House of Representatives for the Pennsylvania 9th Congressional District.
