Our good team on the Draft Bill Halter Facebook page got to work this morning telling ActBlue we wanted a Bill Halter draft page and in a couple of hours ActBlue had been apparently swamped with emails. As such, a Bill Halter for Senate 2010 Draft Fund has been added to ActBlue!
Here on the ground the excitement is off the charts among activists. I know most of us are demoralized right now after the death of the public option (an effort Blanche Lincoln had a hand it if you recall) but we can turn anger into energy and put it to good use!
I've added Draft Halter to Blue Arkansas' fundraising page So please, throw this effort some change! We can get Halter in and work to get Blanche Lincoln, Joe Lieberman's top Lieutanant, OUT!
Remember, Arkansas is a state where retail politics means more than money (don't worry, Halter's way better at that than Lincoln!) so even small donations help. The main thing is we have to show Halter that there's excitement and resources to do this and make his candidacy a reality.
As always, you guys can keep up with what's going on in Arkansas via Blue Arkansas. On the ground we're working harder than ever to change our state and our representation in Congress. Don't get discouraged with the way things are going-get even!
