Pick a senator!!!

After reading the post above, I followed a link in one of the responses and ended up donating $100 to Maggie Hassan, in a neck and neck fight in New Hampshire. We live in Boston, so there's usually not much to do unless NH is in play.

Pick a senator! Let's take back the senate! And pick a representative (gotta find out about that for myself) so we can drastically reduce the house majority for next time. Even if she gets elected, she can't do it alone!

That is one senate seat we need! Kirk is vulnerable in IL, and Tammy is just the person we need in the US Senate.

Really enjoying not having all the attention on the state once again. Local races plus House races, which tend to go in pretty standard form with few surprises.

... that's why I chose Maggie Hassan, senate contendor in NH, and Carol Shea-Porter, fighting to take back her seat. Go to ballotpedia.org to research candidates you can support with money and time.
