Earlier this month, Democracy for America launched its Grassroots All-Star 2008 Contest, a chance for DFA members to play a direct role in choosing a candidate nationally for endorsement. Over 80 Congressional candidates applied, including four from New Jersey. And one of our own candidates - Tom Wyka in NJ-11 - is currently in the Top Ten.
The DFA Grassroots All-Star isn't your typical endorsement.
The winner earns the financial support of our 675,000 nationwide membership, hundreds of volunteer hours by local members on the ground, and the media buzz generated by our national spotlight. In 2006, the DFA Grassroots All-Star was California's Jerry McNerney, who went on to beat a 14-year incumbent Republican in a district no one thought he could win. That's people power, and it sure would be nice to snag some with a Grassroots All-Star endorsement for NJ.
In addition to Tom Wyka in NJ-11, you can vote for Linda Stender in NJ-7, Camille Abate in NJ-5 or Dennis Shulman in NJ-5. You get to pick 3.
Seriously, it only takes 30 seconds. Go Vote! |
