Here in Washington State, Election Day is only 3 weeks away.

I know that may sound confusing, but because of the new way primaries are run in my state, the first real head-to-head contest against my Republican opponent is just around the corner. That's because the Washington State primary on August 19th gives voters a chance to vote for any candidate, regardless of party affiliation.

In just three weeks, we'll have the opportunity to show America how progressive Democrats can succeed when they run against Bush Republicans. Pundits, opinion-leaders and voters alike will look to our success in Washington's 8th District as a barometer for people powered politics across the U.S.

DFA members in my community and nationwide have been some of my most active supporters. We will succeed together, but I need your support right now! Please step up once again and contribute so my campaign can run a ramped-up Get Out The Vote field operation and final ad blitz for this August election.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT! CLICK HERE TO CONTRIBUTE $25 RIGHT NOW.

With the help of Democracy for America's early endorsement and the support of DFA members nationwide my campaign has become one of the most watched races in the country. Now, this is crunch time.

We will show the pundits that my traditionally Republican represented district is demanding change. We will prove that progressive Democrats can win anywhere -- if we stand up for what we believe.

Our moment is here. Our moment is now.

Thank you.
