Hey everyone, pattyp here, posting for Clint Curtis, candidate for U. S. House District FL-24 (currently held by Tom Feeney, Jack Abramoff's onetime golfing buddy). Many exciting things are happening with the campaign. First, Clint has once again received an endorsement from the Progressive Democrats of America (PDA)! Clint not only talks about a progressive agenda, he acts. The members of PDA appreciate the work he is doing on election integrity and his commitment to work to keep jobs in America, to revitalize NASA, to bring our troops home, to provide universal health care for all Americans, to protect Social Security, and to achieve energy independence.
Second, Clint has once again applied for an endorsement from Democracy for America. Clint spoke with DFA Chairman Jim Dean about election integrity issues and his progressive agenda when he was up in New Hampshire at Democracy Fest last year and when he was out in Chicago at Yearly Kos. This is where you can help! Mr. Dean needs to hear from you. If you believe, as I do, that Clint is the best Democratic candidate for FL-24, please visit his DFA candidate page and tell them so!
We'd also appreciate your vote for Clint as the next DFA Grassroots All-Star. This competition will really give the campaign a boost.
On a sad note, Marty Ward, who has been Clint's campaign manager since he began his first run for the FL-24 seat in 2006, will be retiring from "active duty" with the campaign at the end of January, although she will continue to be available to consult and advise. Field Manager Jerry Halberg will assume the role of Campaign Manager. Jerry’s extensive experience in running campaigns and in working with the unions will give the campaign the leadership it needs to win in 2008. As Field Manager and union liaison, he has established a solid field plan and generated widespread union support. If you have any questions for Jerry, you can contact him at jerry@clintcurtis.com or give him a call at 321-288-1256.
Finally, if you live in the Daytona Beach area (or even if you don't but feel like taking a drive), Famous Philly's Sports Bar in Port Orange will be hosting a gathering for Clint on Tuesday, January 29, beginning at 7:00 p.m. Hey, isn't there an election or something that day? So after you're done at the polls not having your vote counted (I kid! I kid!), stop by Famous Philly's and hang out with us, have a bite to eat, watch the primary results, and give Clint lots of money and stuff. :-) Here are the details:
