If John Kerry becomes President and the Republicans retain control of both Houses of Congress we are in big trouble. President Kerry won’t be able to pass any of his agenda… and worse, the mistakes of the Bush Administration become Kerry’s problem; namely the economy and Iraq.
In the unlikely event that Kerry loses, it will be even more important for the Democrats to take back control of at least one part of the Congress.
Here’s how you can help.
The Democrats have a real shot at taking back the Senate. I have included 5 candidates below – four challengers and one incumbent. These are the races that I believe are key to taking back the Senate; tight races, where every vote – and every dollar really counts!
The House will be a little bit tougher for the Democrats but it is doable. I have also included two Democratic House candidates who are good friends of mine, and who are trying to take back Republican seats for the Democrats. Two candidates with a real shot to win.
Thanks for your generosity… and feel free to send this link to your friends!!!
