  <blurb>These three committees and candidates are all ones close to my heart.

1) I work for Courage Campaign as the Online Political Director.  Right now Courage Campaign is working on defeating the dirty trick initiative to keep the Republicans from stealing 20 of California&amp;#39;s electoral votes.  And we are battling to keep Blackwater from opening a base in the tiny town of Potrero, CA.  Plus holding Sen. Dianne Feinstein accountable.

2) Charlie Brown is simply one of the most decent human beings I have ever met.  I had the honor of volunteering for his campaign last cycle and helping staff GOTV down the stretch.  We came heartbreakingly close to defeating John Doolittle.  This time we will get it done.  Go Charlie Go!

3) Chellie Pingree was the President and CEO of Common Cause when I started there as a paid intern then moved up to volunteer coordinator/program staff.  Simply put she rocks and I am looking forward to hearing more from her now that she no longer wears the non-partisan good government mantle.
