The ActBlue Team brahn@actblue.com Chris Bowers at MyDD &quot;highlights the two special elections&quot;:http://www.mydd.com/story/2005/6/6/163410/5397 to be held during the summer of 2005: <b>OH-02</b> and <b>CA-48</b>. Chris writes: <blockquote>The best part about these two seats is that they are too small for the national media to pay attention, and thus will be spared by the Republican Noise Machine. In special elections, we are evenly matched against Republicans, which we proved last year by going 3-0 and taking two seats (both of which we held come November). After the primary elections in both cases, it will be necessary for the blogosphere to bring the full weight of its support to these two districts. Hopefully, Americans coming together will get involved as well. I am already excited.</blockquote> Help power these candidates and get the 2005-06 cycle started right! public true 50.00 1 Paul Hackett false OH-02 hackett 4800.00 527659.32 10567 http://www.hackettforcongress.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/8454 50.00 1 Attorney and Iraqi war veteran Paul Hackett (D) is running in the August 2 special election to pick up the seat left open when Rep.
