Last night Barack Obama made history by becoming the nominee of the Democratic Party. We will all celebrate what this means for our country and our future. Surely in the hours to come we will send millions of dollars into the Obama campaign to make sure that he can take the fight to John McCain...but for a second I would also ask you to think about the long-term progressive future of our country.

We in the Daily Kos community have always been about building a different and better future for the Democratic Party. It was the DKos community who reshaped the Democratic Party and built the 50 state operation that Obama will inherit. So while we are pouring millions into Barack’s coffers today, let’s keep focusing on our big picture mission, to build a long-term progressive future. Let’s make a statement up AND down the ballot today by supporting this effort to encourage and empower young people to run for political office.

For over 2 years I have been working with the Democratic Youth Strategy Council to build a revolutionary tool to empower young people to run for office, and it is here (www.runforoffice.org)! Today, while we all celebrate the potential for a brighter future, will you make an investment in the long-term future of our democracy by supporting our effort to empower young people to run for office?
RunForOffice.org is a revolutionary tool that with a simple search will show you all of the offices you are qualified to run for and assist you from A to Z in jump starting a successful campaign. Meanwhile the DYSC is working hard everyday to push Democratic Party leaders to invest more time, money, and resources into young people. But please make a statement with me today that you are invested in the long-term future of our democracy and supporting the young people who will build it. Thank you!
