For the first time in a decade there is a democratic challenger in VA-6 in the form of a hard working small business man from Roanoke. Sam Rasoul has been campaigning hard for fourteen months, through over 400 events already.
He spent the 2007 cycle down-ticket campaigning, supporting Democrats throughout the sixth CD with volunteer support, earning him the 2008 Grassroots Award at this year's JJ dinner as well as the Most Valuable Democrat Award from the Botetourt County Democrats.
I recently joined Sam's campaign to lend my skills and experience to his message of attacking the corruption from its roots. Sam speaks passionately about getting the lobbyists and PACs out of the drivers seat and putting the people back in control of their congress. He has refused to take money from PAC's and Lobbyists and will work his tail off to get publicly financed elections. He is a strong supporter of HR 676 and understands the problems facing small businesses and what we need to do to get the American education system back on track.
Below is our weekly newsletter, emailed out today (and reformated for DKos). Please take the time to read more and learn about Sam and why you should support his campaign.
