We at Twenty-First Century Democrats won't give up in Virginia until the last poll closes on November 6! We already told you about how Virginia Republicans have been pulling out plays from Karl Rove's book of dirty tricks. But we've been fighting back hard. Thanks to a group of dedicated progressives we've been on the ground making a difference in these important State Senate races: Albert Pollard (VA-28) and Janet Oleszek (VA-37).Twenty-First Century Democrats has had teams of canvassers in several districts across Virginia. We have knocked on 2,254 doors and talked to hundreds of voters about our candidates and their progressive goals for the state. In addition, we made a direct contribution to the Virginia Democratic Senate Caucus on behalf of our endorsed campaigns. But we are not finished yet! The election is just , and we're redoubling our efforts to help Turn Virginia from RED to BLUE!
The upcoming State Senate races in Virginia are vitally important. Not only are they winnable, but they present a real opportunity to change the map in Virginia and beyond. These are the last State Senate races before the 2010 census and with a Democratic majority in the State Senate we will have a voice in the redistricting process. Success in Virginia this year will set the stage for bigger victories in congressional races in the future - even the Presidential race in 2008. It may seem like a long way off, but winning today will help us build a lasting progressive majority tomorrow.
