[CAN YOU HELP - DONATE!!] Call to Action: Kentucky SD Attacked for Supporting Obama

[1trackmindGOP]

PLEASE REC this so it can get around to more supporters...Big Thanks!


UPDATE: Within 30 minutes of this Diary hitting Kos, we raised over $2,500.00 for Congressman Chandler for supporting Barack Obama. You can view the running tally here. It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to show Super Delegates this kind of support, especially when they come under fire. Other Super Delegates take notice. Keep it going!!

Yesterday Kentucky Congressman Ben Chandler had the courage to come out in support of Barack Obama, despite the long odds against him winning the state's primary. This was an embarrassment to the Hillary campaign that an elected SD would put the reputation with his own constituents at stake to support the candidate he believed would make the better candidate, president or both.

Today Representative Chandler is feeling the heat for this endorsement. According to Poltico Chandler's phone has been ringing off the hook since yesterday receiving numeros vitriolic complaints, many with offensive racial slurs, about his endorsement of Senator Obama. As of 2:30 PM yesterday, he had received 300 phone calls opposing his decision and only 5 calls in support.

We need to take action on this. Call Representative Chandler's office (especially if you are a Kentucky resident) and let him know that you support his decision to endorse the next President of the United States, Barack Obama!

4. They're all on their own

As far as I'm concerned, the Democrats are all on their own until they do something about this stupid-ass War on Drugs. I was a registered Democrat for 16 years, but the DLC anti-liberty fascism has really cost them support.

5. Those calls are from people who wouldn't be voting for him anyway

Just more bullying, but I hate to hear of our party self-destructing like this. I'm not in KY but I have friends there still and I'll keep a lookout for what's happening on the ground.
