This fall, John Edwards will headline fundraisers for two Democrats running
for the House of Representatives who have been selected by the online community.
You can choose among 47 candidates and districts targeted by the
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
(mostly from the Red-to-Blue List and the Top 10 Endangered Incumbents) that
will help Democrats gain a majority in the House of Representatives so as
to improve the lives of Americans, really fullfill its constitutional duty
of executive branch oversight, and improve our chances of taking the White
House in 2008.
These are obviously highly competitive races from all over the country that
could use a boost. Decide where you think Edwards' efforts will do the most
good, and cast your vote. You can pick as many as you want (although if you
may want to stick with 2-5).
Edwards is committed to helping as many candidates as possible before November.
He has already raised $6.65 million for Democrats and attended fundraisers
for strong congressional candidates in more than a dozen states this election
cylce.
Vote at the
One America Committee. The deadline is 4 August.

Disclaimer: Yes, this also appears to be a way for OAC to get the email addresses
of committed Democrats (since you need to give it to vote) as other PACs
have done. Still, it doesn't appear you're signing up for
anything and you can always delete yourself from any future list you're
put on (maybe they just want to keep people from voting multiple times, I
really don't know). And, maybe you do want to be on John's email list.
