Virginia is for Lovers….and Democrats too!

We need your help because even though have a lead in the Virginia governor’s race but regardless as you can see in Washington winning at the top of the ticket is not enough to ensure progress. Yet considering that Democrats lost in 2008 by 18 POINTS and the GOP’s efforts to purge voters in the state nothing should be taken for granted: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/13/virginia-democrats-fight-purge-of-voter-rolls-orde/#ixzz2hi4BFRB3

And there are many down ballot races that are toss ups for the Republican-controlled House of Delegates and even right-wing radical E.W. Jackson is virtually tied for Lt. Governor AND the simple fact that Republicans won’t get the message in Washington until they see the Tea Party CRUSHED at the polls in a battleground state.
