Hi Friends - Nancy Skinner here. I need thirty seconds of your time to help me win an online vote which could help raise tens of thousands of dollars for my campaign.

There are 35 candidates who have qualified for the Democracy For America Congressional Candidates Contest. I'm in the third place right now and need to move up to 1st. The winner will receive a fundraising appeal e-mail to all 500,000 DFA subscribers across America which could raise tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
THIS IS THE KIND OF GRASSROOTS/NETROOTS SUPPORT THAT CAN BEAT AN INCUMBENT LIKE JOE KNOLLENBERG.
Will you take a minute and vote for me and send this e-mail to your list, asking them to vote for a friend?
I am the Democratic candidate in a 50/50 district where the Republicans have a bitter primary battle ongoing. Democrats have unified and I have been endorsed by DFA of Metro-Detroit, our Governor, Jennifer Granholm, Senator Debbie Stabenow, the UAW, the AFL-CIO (and some 80 affiliated unions) and the National Organization for Women (NOW).
I spent most of my career working on environmentally sustainable development after reading Al Gore's Earth in the Balance, and my work was honored by a Presidential award for helping flood stricken communities rebuild as models of sustainability. Alarmed that Democrats were losing the media and message battle and that Rush Limbaugh and the right wing had taken over talk radio, I ended up getting my own show on WLS in Chicago in 1997. Two listeners to my program, Shelly and Anita Drobny, called in one day and said "we need more Nancy Skinners on the radio" and went on to co-found Air America Radio. I have been a regular commentator on FOX News, CNN and MSNBC where I have been standing up to the Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Joe Scarborough and the rest of them since 1999.

I am focused on how we can Green the Auto Industry in Detroit by forming a federal partnership to expedite the production of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, flex-fuel and fuel cell vehicles. This is imperative for our economy, our environment and our national security. What better way to do that than elect a Congresswoman from Detroit (home district of the Big Three automakers) to send a loud and clear message to Congress?
Here's your chance to help us do that by mobilizing the national netroots behind my campaign. Just click the link below and vote and then you can send this e-mail to your friends who may not know me.
