Yesterday, Senator Kerry blogged for Niki Tsongas here, here and here in support of her race for Congress in an October 16 special election.
Which is great. But it's not enough.
Because it's going to take each and every one of us to do something, too. We've only got a little more than a week left, so do it now. If you can't blog, donate. JK has set up an Act Blue page for her, which you can access from his post at johnkerry.com. If you can't donate, volunteer, and if you can't do that, then call, write or text everyone you know in the MA 5th Congressional district, and tell them to get out and vote for Niki on October 16. Better yet, do all of the above. You know you want to.
JK mentions Paul Hackett's campaign in his blog post. As someone who actually dragged herself away from the computer and drove the nine hour round trip to volunteer for Paul, I can tell you that as rewarding as that experience was, seeing Mean Jean Schmidt eek out a win was just as devastating. We can't let that happen again. So, get out your plastic, head on over to JK's blog, and let's all send a message to the White House and get another Dem in Congress now.
This one.
From Niki's website:
On October 16, 2007, the eyes of America will be on us as we choose the new member of Congress from the Fifth Congressional District of Massachusetts. I believe we must send an unwavering message to America and to the White House: it is time to change the direction of our country, and it is long past time to change direction on Iraq.
Nice. Niki links to some pics with JK and Teresa from her site. Good luck Niki! See you on C-SPAN!
