So I know that many of you that read this site probably thought Ron Sparks was our only chance to get rid of Jeff Sessions. Well, Sparks decided not to run and Vivian Davis Figures is our candidate. With Obama the eventual nominee, this race is certainly in play. Turnout will be high all over the state. Can you help raise $500 today that will be matched? Can I get 15 Contributors as well?
WE can really make some heads turn. If they did it in Miss CD1 we can do it here for sure.!!!

Jeff Sessions has voted lock step with Bush more than any other Senator. He also has an abysmal voting record on civil rights. In order to make a serious play at this race, we have got to garner some national attention.
The Alabama primary is less than a month away. There is no other female African American running for U.S. Senate. Wouldn't it be something to elect one from the State of Alabama? This could happen with what are called potential "Obama Coattails"
Vivian Figures has been in session much of the last couple of months and therefore taken away from her need to raise money. She has been very active in getting attention for her non-smoking bill

If you can help my giving $5, $10 or $50 we can reach my goal and make a difference in promoting her candidacy. I look at all these stories about the Scott Kleebs and Dan Seals and ask that we take a look at this race. Not to take anything away from anyone else, we can afford another $5, $10, $15 or $20 for a candidate that truely can make a difference.
Polls have shown that the more individuals find out about Figures this become a dead heat.
