| {First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate Guru.}
Last cycle, I started an ActBlue page specifically for Democratic Senate candidates working to pick up seats held by Republicans. I named it the Expand the Map! ActBlue page because the goal was to expand the map of competitive Senate seats. The effort was a big success, achieving over 300 contributions and $40,000 for the Democratic Senate candidates included on the page.
The 2010 edition of the Expand the Map! ActBlue page was recently kicked off. Senate Guru just made the first addition to the page since the kick-off with the inaugural members; and, that addition is none other than Louisiana's own Charlie Melancon.

The Republican incumbent, Sinning Senator David Vitter, is nothing but an embarrassment to Louisiana. From his "very serious sin" (which he still hasn't explicitly identified) to his tantrums in airport security areas to his turning away constituents from his town hall forums in order to pack the events with bussed-in Tea Partiers, Vitter has shown himself to be a hypocrite, a liar, a coward, and someone that all Louisianans should be ashamed of. Even when the match-up was just hypothetical, polling showed that a Vitter-Melancon showdown would be a close race. But Congressman Melancon needs our support!
Please, please, please help the 2010 cycle's Expand the Map! effort by sending Charlie Melancon (and these other highly deserving Democrats) a few bucks. $100 makes a huge difference, $25 makes a huge difference, $10 makes a huge difference! Hop over to the Expand the Map! ActBlue page and make your voice heard.
This is not just a contribution to Charlie's campaign. This is a contribution toward slowing and eventually stopping Republican obstruction in the U.S. Senate and ensuring that David Vitter will no longer be an obstacle to progress or an embarrassment to Louisiana. Thank you SO much! |
