POST MIDTERM 2014 ELECTION RUN OFFS - DON'T FORGET TO VOTE

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

Lest we forget, there is still some unfinished business in this election year - and we'll be kicking ourselves even more if we ignore them:

The run off in Louisiana takes place on Saturday, December 6, and pits the encumbent Democrat, Mary Landrieu aganist Repuglycon Bill Cassidy.  Tell all your friends and relatives in Louisiana to get up, get out and make sure to re-elecr Mary Landrieu. 


And the recount in Arizona where Ron Barber, former aid to Gabby Giffords, is just within margins of winning.  I received this communique from Tim Bishop, and am forwarding it to you - prayers, action, communication are needed to make sure this comes out a victory in our favor.

STAY BLESSED

Gloria, I wouldn’t email you if it wasn’t important. Ron Barber is locked in a tough fight against Republican Martha McSally for Arizona’s 2nd district. -- Ron’s race is heading for a recount -- only 161 votes separate Ron from his opponent -- and he needs resources to make sure every lawful vote is counted So I know I’ve asked for your support a lot this year. But I’m asking for a friend: Will you chip in $5 or more to the Ron Barber Recount Fund? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Chip in $5 immediately >> Chip in $35 immediately >> Chip in $50 immediately >> Chip in $100 immediately >> Chip in $250 immediately >> Or click here to donate another amount. I’ve been in this position before -- I was the last house race decided in 2010 and it came down to less than 600 votes. But when we needed it most, we got grassroots support from across the country to get us over the finish line. And now Gloria, we need to rally behind Ron. Please chip in what you can to the Ron Barber Recount Fund. Thanks for all you do, Tim Bishop

So before we throw up our hands and declare it a totally done deal, there are still some deciding run offs and recounts we need to be aware of and vigilant about.

If you can chip in, please do - it may make the critical difference in a law passed, and gridlock avoided.

Stay Blessed &

Louisiana gets a second chance to get it right: Senate Run Off in Louisiana -

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

Well there's a silver lining in some of these clouds, thank goodness!  It appears that the margins were so close in Louisiana that they will have to hold a run off to determine who wins the senate seat there.  So all you down there in Louisiana, roll up your sleeves and let's pull the fat out of the fire.  Mary Landrieu needs you and, guess what, you need her.  So for all those who thought it was all over, for all the civil rights organizations who didn't mobilize their bases, etc., let's rally the people and get the job done. 

Below is a communique I received from her campaign headquarters.  I'm passing this press release on to you - share it with your friends and their friends as well.  Don't let it be known that they outfoxed or out voted you in this crucial midterm.  

By the way, if you know of any other close races that are requiring a run off where Democrats can emerge victorious with just a little "get out and vote muscle" behind them, let me know - we'll put them on the blog and on face book to encourage the voters to take advantage of the second time around opportunities.  We can leave nothing to chance - if there is a way to narrow the margin of the majority repuglycons in Congress, I'm for it!

STAY BLESSED

Gloria, You worked hard this election season and you deserve a rest, but we aren't done yet. The fight continues for our friend Mary Landrieu in Louisiana, and she needs our help.   The race for Louisiana’s Senate seat is headed to a runoff, and it’s a chance for us to hold on to one more critical seat. I’m stepping up to support Mary’s “Off and Running" moneybomb, and I’m asking you to join me. Chip in and help us win this one!     If we’re going to hold the line against the far right, then every vote will count. Bottom line: We need Mary Landrieu back in the Senate.   Karl Rove’s Super PAC already spent over $2 million and the Koch Brothers ran nearly 5,000 television advertisements to defeat Mary Landrieu.   This is nothing new for Mary. She’s a fighter. She’s been through three runoffs in her career already, and each time she’s come out on top.   But she can’t do it alone. Support Mary’s moneybomb today and show the far right we’re still ready to fight!   We had a tough night on Tuesday, but it’s time to get up off the mat. Our comeback starts right now, and Louisiana is our first big opportunity.   Let’s do this!   Jeff        Paid for by Jeff Merkley for Oregon.   This email was sent by Jeff Merkley for Oregon PO Box 14172, Portland, OR 97293.
