Time for a change in the 8th District

Darcy Burner's campaign has just posted a new video assessing Dave Reichert's poor job performance and highlighting the need for change.

It's nicely produced, hits back at the Reichert campaign's sexist ad from last fall, and is just waiting for you to check it out.

Last Friday, I wrote that the 8th congressional district is ready for an authentic progressive, not a mythical moderate. It's great to see that Darcy is already on the campaign trail. These races take a lot of hard work to win.

And incidentally, that's where we come in. Darcy has committed to winning this race. She's prepared to give everything she's got. But she can't do it alone. It's imperative that we show our appreciation for her trust and willingness to listen by investing in her campaign.

The 2008 elections have the potential to be the seal that cements a new progressive majority into place for years to come. If we're to add to our 2006 victories this cycle, we'll need to capture the 8th. We already have a champion for progressive values running hard to take the district in sixteen months. Now we need to give her the resources she needs to compete.

If you can spare some change, please donate to Darcy Burner today.
