  <blurb>    On June 7, 2008,with the help of hundreds of Massachusetts State Convention delegates and the nationwide assistance of Progressive Democrats of America, Ed O&amp;#39;Reilly became the first person in 24 years to mount a primary challenge to Sen. John Kerry. &lt;br /&gt;
  
    To do so, Ed needed to win a minimum of 15 percent of the vote at the Massachusetts State Convention. With the progressive movement behind him, he got 22.53 percent.&lt;br /&gt;

    Ed&amp;#39;s campaign is based on thinking outside the beltway, on demanding accountability from Washington, on getting our troops and contractors out of Iraq, on finally delivering single-payer health care to all residents of the United states. &lt;br /&gt; 

&lt;strong&gt;Health Care, not Warfare.&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  

    You can help to keep this campaign growing by making a 2253 contribution. When 2,253 people each contribute $22.53, Ed will be able to operate five offices around the state. If another 225 people contribute $225.30, he&amp;#39;ll be able to put signs on 33,000 lawns. And if just 22 people contribute $2,253, Ed&amp;#39;s radio message will be heard by drive-time commuters all over Massachusetts.&lt;br /&gt;
  
  Please help this effort to take back our government. Join Ed&amp;#39;s 2253 club and make a contribution today.&lt;br /&gt;    

Thank you,
Progressive Democrats of America</blurb>
