Congressman Raul Grijalva, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, staunch progressive vote across the line, is in trouble and needs our help.
Polling was just released showing the race essentially tied -- 40 to 38.
Sarah Palin just endorsed his opponent, Ruth McClung.
He's vulnerable because he stood up against the racist Arizona law SB1070, calling on conventions to boycott the state until the law was repealed. And now they're coming after him.
He needs our help.
Updated: You can also call on his behalf through DFA and the PCCC: http://bit.ly/...
I've worked with Raul for the past eighteen months, and he's the real deal. He'll fight for the right thing every time -- and he'll organize others to join him.
He led the fight for the public option, and made the Congressional Progressive Caucus a force to be reckoned with for the first time in history.
He's leading the fight to protect Social Security from being cut by the deficit commission, authoring a letter that has more than 100 members of Congress pledging to vote against any cuts.
He's a champion for clean energy, willing to take on the oil companies: he was calling for an investigation of BP's failure to follow adequate safety standards on its deep water drilling platform two months before the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe!
And he believes in this community. Every time I've gone to him to ask him to engage with the Netroots, he's done so. He came to Netroots Nation to keynote and met many of you there. He's done web videos, he's written blog posts, he's tried to engage -- he truly respects all that the progressive grassroots does.
So please help him.
