We knocked on doors all summer and fall for Dan Seals, and came so, so close to winning! Dan stepped up to the plate and ran a truly phenomenal campaign at a time when we needed to be challenging every seat.  And he has local support, which is critical to being able to win in November.  Dan is progressive on the issues, and will bring real leadership to congress.</pageblurb>

Daniel is one of our own, and he needs our support!  He organized hundreds of people to knock on doors for John Kerry in Wisconsin, then kept on organizing people on behalf of Seals and Pavich and Duckworth, and then walked side-by-side with us knocking on doors for Joe Moore and Greg Brewer and Naisy Dolar.  Now Daniel is running for State Rep against Republican Beth Coulson -- here is our chance to help a true grassroots candidate.</pageblurb>
