From Moving Virginia Forward, I'm posting this because I strongly support Glenn Nye and strongly want to say sayonara to Thelma "Dick Cheney" Drake.  Bye bye Thelma, it's been nice knowing you...well, actually it hasn't, but since you're going down to defeat in just a few weeks, I thought I'd try to say something nice.  Ha.

I want to let you know about an important opportunity to bring Virginia-style leadership that will change Washington.

Glenn Nye is the Democratic Nominee for Congress in the Second District of Virginia, and bringing him to Washington will make a huge difference in creating the change our nation needs.

I've been proud to support and campaign with Glenn, and I'm asking you to join me today.

Glenn is a unique candidate who truly fits his district.  He is a fifth-generation Second District resident and former Foreign Service officer who volunteered to serve in conflict zones in Afghanistan, Kosovo and Iraq. Glenn received the State Department's Superior Honor Award for leading a rescue of 26 American citizens and negotiating the release of an American hostage. In Iraq, Glenn Nye led operations to create jobs for Iraqis as part of the counter-insurgency effort.

I've seen his recent polling, and I have to tell you that it is clear Glenn Nye can win if he gets the resources to get out his positive message of Virginia leadership and real results.  Glenn is on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's exclusive Red to Blue program as one of the top targeted races in the entire nation.

People across the Commonwealth are excited about Glenn's campaign. In 2007, we had great success in electing legislative leaders like Ralph Northam, John Miller, Bobby Mathieson and Joe Bouchard because they built the same types of grassroots organization that Glenn is building and had the resources to get their message out.

We won those races last fall in Hampton Roads, and we can win this vital Congressional race with your support.  Please make a contribution today.

Glenn Nye will be the type of independent leader Virginia needs in Congress to bring real results to the challenges our nation faces. Like me, Glenn believes in putting aside partisanship and bickering to solve the challenges our nation faces. I am pleased to support him and look forward to working with him in his campaign.  Please look at his website at www.glennnye.com to learn more and contribute to his campaign.

I hope you will join me as we build on the success we have had in Virginia by sending Glenn Nye to bring Virginia leadership to Washington, D.C.

Sincerely,

Tim Kaine

Guess Drake's smear attempt has backfired (VA Breeze - 9/25/2008 8:54:33 AM)
