This will be a short diary - my message is pretty simple.
* Debbie Cook is a great candidate, a good progressive, and will represent the 46th district with distinction;
* Dana Rohrabacher is a bum
* If you give to Debbie
here by tomorrow (Monday) midnight
* I'll match your donation.
* Get bigger bang for your progressive donation - give to Debbie
now.
Thanks
.... I actually have a personal anecdote I have to add that demonstrates how important it is for Debbie to get the message out. Follow below the fold.
Rohrabacher has been trying to have this race go completely under the radar so that voters don't realize it's happening. And for a while, it's worked. That's bad for Debbie, because it means that people who would support her aren't simply because they don't know about her candidacy. Here's how I know:
Last weekend, a lady with her daughter came into the Democratic Action Center in Torrance to volunteer and despite being Democrats in the district, they had no idea about Debbie Cook's campaign, or how bad Dana Rohrabacher is.
That was a very easy pickup of two votes that I got for Debbie, just by bringing her race up with them. Democrats won't automatically vote for Debbie if they never hear anything about the race from her campaign.
The media campaign Debbie needs to fund will get this message out en masse, and will net her lots of votes. She needs to do that now - especially because there are lots of voters who already have their vote by mail ballot.
It would be tragic to have people voting for Obama but skipping her race simply because they don't know about what a bum Rohrabacher is, and what a great solid blue representative Debbie Cook would make
