Support Stephen Blythe for Congress FL-15
Linked to groups: Florida DFA
Please go to http://www.dfalink.com/endorse_candidate.php?id=2409 and sign up to Support Stephen Blythe for Congress. It’s important that we get Dave Weldon out of the Congress. But, having watched him since he was elected, I’m convinced that it also matters who we replace him with. We don’t just need a Democrat in that seat. We need someone who’ll go to Washington and challenge a system that has left 48 million Americans uninsured, 37 million Americans in poverty, and 150,000 American troops in Iraq, fighting a war we shouldn’t have started and don’t know how to end.
We have an excellent chance in Florida Congressional district 15 to defeat Congressman Dave Weldon, Bush’s apologist for the war and spokesman for privatizing Social Security. If you live in one of the 312 precincts in FL-15, Steve Blythe needs your help to defeat Weldon. We are so close to electing a Democrat, just one more vote for every seven votes cast for Bowman in 2006 would have retired Weldon. Each one of us, spending as little as several hours each week, between now and Election Day, working together we can elect Steve. Carol Shea-Porter won in New Hampshire against a two-term incumbent because of help from DFA members. Carol won against the DCCC sponsored candidate and was elected with spending only $125,000.
We are using the DFA Academy Grassroots Campaign Training Manual as our guide with several of our volunteers having already attended this training. Our target is nearly 100,000 volunteer hours to perform the various campaign functions. These are canvassing (59%), phone banking (27%), stuffing envelopes (5%), sign waving (2%), and coordinating volunteers (7%). To prevent volunteers from spending hours traveling, FL-15 is divided into 30 geographic divisions each with about 15,000 registered voters.
Florida Congressional District 15 contains all or part of the following Zip Codes: 32901, 32902, 32903, 32904, 32905, 32906, 32907, 32908, 32909, 32910, 32911, 32920, 32922, 32923, 32924, 32925, 32926, 32931, 32932, 32934, 32935, 32937, 32940, 32941, 32948, 32950, 32951, 32951, 32952, 32953, 32954, 32955, 32976, 32958, 32960, 32961, 32962, 32963, 32966, 32967, 32968, 33837, 33848, 33896, 34711, 33897, 34739, 34741, 34743, 34744, 34746, 34747, 34758, 34759, 34769, 34771, 34772, 34773, 34972
If you live in or near one of these Zip Codes in Brevard, Indian River, Osceola, or Polk Counties, please volunteer to help Steve by signing up at www.blythe08.com or email me at chs@cfl.rr.com telling how you can help defeat Weldon.
Just as electing an environmental leader in district 8 will benefit the entire region, electing a physician in district 15 will help us greatly in the fight for universal healthcare.
