There is a guy named Rick Waugh running for congress against Eric Cantor.
A social worker by trade, he was one of the first Obama volunteers in Virginia back in '07, and went on to win the Virginia Grassroots Award for his volunteer work on the campaign in '08.
He has live blogged here at DK.
This Video (from a local news channel) tells the story of Rick and his family. Listen closely to the story. Its very moving. Not many candidates for congress this year have that kind of story to tell.
Meanwhile, this video covers a case of right wing intimidation from VA-07.
You can help Rick in his struggle to achieve representation for the 99% of VA-07 that Eric Cantor does not represent.
You can donate to his campaign.
You can volunteer to make phone calls into his district from anywhere in the country via Virtual Phone Bank.
Rick has a good shot at actually winning the seat this year because there is a right winger running as an independent, who might take a significant chunk of the vote from Cantor. Wouldn't it be special to see Eric "NO" Cantor lose this year?
Cantor used tax-payer money to hold a job fair where there were few, if any jobs to be had. Cantor wants to abolish Medicare. Cantor is going on a book tour with Paul Ryan, another old hack who fancies himself a Young Gun, and who plans to privatize social security. Cantor was such a buddy of Jack Abramoff that Abramoff named a sandwich after him. He is quite simply CORRUPT.
If you or someone you know can help Rick, make it happen.
