And The Winner Is... Charlie Brown!


No, not of the special election that is bound to take place as soon as John Doolittle resigns in disgrace or is indicted while in office. Charlie has won the Democracy for America Grassroots All-Star selection. He is the first grassroots candidate that DFA is adding to their 2008 (or in Charlie's case likely sooner) grassroots fundraising page. Here is the notice I just received. Normally I wouldn't link to any ActBlue page other than BlueAmerica's as I'm a huge fan and a volunteer team member but in honor of DFA's efforts, today I link to them via Charlie's picture below:

Dear Nate,


Charlie Brown (CA-04)


Jump Start the Campaign
Please Contribute Right Now
Thousands of votes came in from around the country. DFA members pushed hard getting out the vote for all three Grassroots All-Star finalists -- generating incredible support for each campaign. In the end, there can be only one winner.

Lt. Colonel Charlie Brown is your 2007 DFA Grassroots All-Star!

Now it's up to us to back the endorsement up with real action. Please contribute to his campaign right now:

After Charlie Brown came within 3% of winning the district last November, Karl Rove put eight-term Republican incumbent Rep. John Doolittle on his "Priority Defense" list. You can bet that Rove will pull out all the stops to keep this seat for the Republicans in 2008.

However, not all is going well for Republican Doolittle. Since the last election, the FBI raided his personal residence and has stepped up the investigation into his dealings with convicted GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Within a week of the raid, Doolittle stepped down from his position on the powerful House Appropriations Committee.

Ousting Doolittle from this rural California district will not be easy. Charlie Brown will need everything we've got and then some to beat back the GOP machine. Please contribute right now to jump start the campaign:

Last year after you made Jerry McNerney your DFA Grassroots All-Star, you helped lead him to victory against so-called unbeatable Republican incumbent Richard Pombo. Now, if we work together, we will do it again! Victory in 2008 depends on you.

Thank you for everything you do,

Jim Dean
Chair

Personally I'm shooting for Victory in 07' after the special election that will follow the inevitable resignation and/or indictment of John Doolittle.
