In an earlier diary today, I talked about the serious need for Democrats to take action in the Washington State Governor's Race. Republicans are mobilizing their party's base and flooding our legislators with emails and phone calls asking them to back a revote and deny Gregoire certification.
Republican blogs and talk radio here in Washington are on full spin. Two new GOP websites cropped up just in the past week - and they are getting press attention.
If too many Democrats defect, the Republicans may be able to prevent Governor Elect Christine Gregoire from being certified, and possibly even force the Legislature to vote on a revote.
Please help. Even if you don't live in Washington, you can help us.

Tell them to move forward and certify the election - and that a revote is wrong for Washington State.
Here's a part of the text of the Democratic message to give you an idea:
We have just been through a fair an accurate count. The Secretary of State, county auditors, and Democratic and Republican observers from across the state say that it is an accurate count. Please follow the law and certify the election for Chris Gregoire
We can't win unless Democrats step up and take action.
