My brother, who lives in DC, has been very active regarding getting Democrats elected in VA. I wanted to share an email that he wanted to be passed on to as many people as possible.
To my Virginia friends,
The shorter video on the link is worth a look. The message is that the election this NOV 7 in VA really matters. Whatever else you do, vote. The entire ticket.
If you are motivated to knock doors, call me and I will set you up. Or if you want to give money (and some of you already have but you can always give more), I can help you target the House of Delegates races where money likely matters the most.
(Please PM me for his contact information if you are interested since I can't post it on the site.)
Our group has raised over $80 K for these races and knocked on thousands of doors. If we sit back and watch, we will continue to make America much less great again. We have to do something.
Sorry to nag you but this matters to all of us.
Thanks.
PS - It wouldnt hurt to send it on to lots of your VA friends. We need to do this.
Also, please visit the website below and then read the similar type comments by the author.

The above website includes in startling terms Why this VA election is so important to Virginia and to the country. As Democrats and Progressives who believe the politics can reflect respect for everyone in their communities and the country, respect for the environment, and respect for the future we leave to our children, We are on the Verge of Crisis - We face losing our ability to influence and decide to a handful of arch conservatives.
Take a moment and look at the videos included on the website and at the issues outlined.
THE Challenge: Forward the website to 20 people outside this group or posit on Facebook or other social media sites. Ask your group of 20 to commit to donating and then to send it to 20 of their friends extending the challenge across the country. We have the ability to make a profound change that will carry us into 2018 and 2020. It starts now.
