Two years ago we voted to change the guard. Now, to paraphrase Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, we vote to guard the change.
For almost two years we’ve watched the Tea Partiers and Palinites scream and holler and carry on. And – let’s face it – they’ve enjoyed some success, winning primaries here and there and mounting a takeover of the GOP.
Of course our vision for America is so completely different from the Tea Partiers and Palinites that we might as well be on another planet.
And so it is time we guard the change. I work for USAction, an organization that builds power by uniting working people and families on the ground and online, at both the local and national level. We pushed for the economic recovery package, real health care reform and effective and responsible regulation of our financial institutions.
Whether it’s going door to door in the neighborhoods and meeting people on their front porches or making the crucial GTOV phone calls days before an election, USAction and our online arm, True Majority, know how to empower people to bring about change.
After seeing all the hooting and hollering from the Glenn Beck wing of the crazy party, we decided to stop talking and start organizing.
Today, we're announcing our "21 Days to Victory" campaign. We're asking progressives like you to help us choose which candidate we should dump our organizing resources in the final weeks before Election Day.
That’s right. We're leaving it up to you. We've narrowed it down to three progressive candidates we feel represent our ideals and are in need of support as November 2nd gets closer. And while we'd love to support all three equally, we want to make sure our support and resources makes a winning impact for a candidate in a close election race. So, it’s up to you...if want it. You can cast your votes here:
On Friday afternoon, we'll announce the winner of our "21 Days to Victory" campaign and quickly mobilize our resources to support them. But we need you to vote and tell us who needs our support most.
