More About DL21C

Upcoming Events:

Now through Tuesday, January 19, 2010:
Phone Bank for
US Senate candidate Martha Coakley (D-MA)

Saturday, Jan. 16 Weekend
Road Trip to Massachusetts!

Next Tuesday, January 19 is the special election for the Massachusetts US Senate seat previously held by Ted Kennedy. Martha Coakley, the Democratic nominee, is in a very close race against a Republican challenger, and now it all comes down to turnout!

You can read more about the election here: www.marthacoakley.com.

Winning this special election is critical to passing health care reform and the rest of President Obama's agenda (without it we lose our 60th vote), and will serve as an important bellwether for what is to come in the fall midterm elections for Democrats. So dust off those 2008 canvassing shoes and let's go help our neighbors to the North!
