Support Norman Solomon For Congress
Hours ago, Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey announced that she won't be running for re-election. With the quarterly FEC reporting period ending on Thursday, the next two days are a pivotal time to build on my campaign's current fundraising, which has gone over $100,000 ( news coverage last week: http://www.watchsonomacounty.com/2011/06/washington/solomon-surpasses-100000 -in-donations ). Anything you could do to boost our funding between now and June 30 would be greatly appreciated. Below is info on a "Support-a-thon" national online push that the Blue America PAC is helping with; feel free to share with people you know. Contributions can also be made directly via my campaign site: https://www.normansolomonnow.com/index.php/contribute Thanks a lot -- Norman Solomon www.SolomonForCongress.com <http://www.solomonforcongress.com/> Please Participate in the Solomon "Support-a-Thon" Norman Solomon For Congress You can make a big difference by participating in the national "Support-a-thon" to help elect progressive stalwart Norman Solomon to Congress. During the last few days of June - just before the key quarterly FEC deadline on the 30th - progressive bloggers are acting together nationwide to galvanize online donations for Norman's campaign to replace Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, who announced on June 27 that she will retire at the end of her current term representing the district just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The link is to ActBlue: www.ActBlue.com/page/Supportathon This Solomon Support-a-thon comes on the eve of Norman's 60th birthday, so the suggested donations range from $6 to $60 (or beyond). If you're a progressive, if you want to end nuclear power, if you want to stop perpetual war, if you want enhanced Medicare for all, if you stand for the rest of the progressive agenda, Norman is your candidate for Congress - wherever you live. He has been endorsed by the Blue America PAC. ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** Norman Solomon is a longtime local activist in the North Bay near San Francisco, a national columnist and award-winning author of a dozen books - including War Made Easy, which was turned into a powerful documentary film.
