Received this e-mail today from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee:
Bernie Sanders wants to take back power for progressives in the states. So do we.
That's why we are proud to join Bernie Sanders in endorsing Tom Perriello for Virginia Governor. Can you help win this key race -- not just for Democrats, but for bold progressives?
Chip in $3 right now to help Tom Perriello win this nationally watched Virginia governor primary.
I've known Tom for years. We grew up in the same hometown, and I was thrilled to pitch in and run his get out the vote operation when he first ran for Congress in 2008.
Tom Perriello is the insurgent progressive challenger in the race. Tom is a former Congressman who worked closely with the PCCC and challenged powerful corporate interests. A new Quinnipiac poll shows Tom ahead in the primary and defeating the Republican in November!
Tom is a longtime friend to progressives. In Congress, he voted for the public option, climate legislation, and the DREAM Act. While Tom lost in the Tea Party wave of 2010, he can be the biggest Resistance victory and progressive victory in the states in the 2017 -- impacting the grassroots energy and political conventional wisdom going into 2018.
Imagine the signal it would send to have a genuine progressive in the Virginia's governor seat. The pundits will be stunned. Millions of regular people will be inspired before 2018 ... and 2020.
Let's win this thing. Please donate $3 right now to help Tom win this nationally watched Virginia governor primary.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
