With just 14,000 votes cast, that means the leader has around 2,400 votes.  Jim Webb has about 1,000.  Jim Webb also has thousands of grassroots supporters.  So, go vote in Barbara Boxer's poll by July 21 (next Friday), and let's help Jim Webb win a fundraising email to Sen. Boxer's PAC for Change community.  This could be worth a lot of money for Jim.  Thanks!

Dear xxx:

Over 14,000 people -- including you -- have already cast online votes for the Democratic Senate challenger who will be featured in the next fundraising emails from PAC for a Change.  Thanks so much for caring enough to cast a ballot in this important online election!

But we've still got more than a week in our online vote at www.barbaraboxer.com/vote -- and we want to hear from thousands more people before our polls close on July 21.  Won't you help us spread the word?

Invite your friends and family to cast their votes now!

This is a big decision for our community to make.  We are only six seats away from winning a majority in the Senate, and the candidate who wins this online vote will get a critical financial boost as we move ever closer to the November elections.

We saw the power of our PAC for a Change community at work last month when, thanks to your support, a fundraising email raised more than $80,000 for my friend and colleague Sen. Maria Cantwell in her race against the deep-pocketed Mike McGavick in Washington.

Now we can do the same thing for a Democratic Senate challenger in one of these important races across America -- races that will determine whether or not we close the gap and take back control of the Senate this November.

Invite your friends and family to vote now!

The early voting leader was Bob Casey (PA), but he was overtaken just this morning by Claire McCaskill, showing how tight this race is right now. These two are followed closely by Barbara Ann Radnofsky (TX), Pete Ashdown (UT), and Sherrod Brown (OH).

But we've still got more than a week left until our online balloting wraps up on July 21st -- and another 12 candidates who are close on the heels of our early voting leaders -- so those results could still change dramatically between now and then.

The best way to help your favorite Senate challenger is to invite more people to vote. So please, take just a minute right now to invite everyone you know to participate in this exciting community-driven decision-making process.

Invite your friends and family to vote now!

Which candidate will our PAC for a Change community choose to support next?  The decision is in your hands.

In Friendship,

Barbara Boxer

Thanks for the heads up. (I.Publius - 7/13/2006 2:59:08 PM)
Just cast my vote.  :-)


You got to give Claire McCaskill's campaign credit (JennyE - 7/13/2006 3:20:59 PM)
They actually have a banner on her website redirecting people to vote for her on Boxer's website. http://www.claireonline.com/

These are the kind of moves I'd like to see from the Webb campaign. They have to start thinking on their feet. If you really want money, you try your best to go the distance you know. I want to see that drive.



Perhaps we should send the campaign the link... (phriendlyjaime - 7/13/2006 3:34:34 PM)
Though I am hesitant to do so, considering Lowell, our netroots coordinator to the stars, has probably gotten the word to them.  :)


If only we knew someone connected to the campaign... (Loudoun County Dem - 7/13/2006 3:35:52 PM)
Hmmm, Nope... I got nothing...
