This is the heart and soul of what DFA - and its more than 1,000 members in NJ - have been about since the group's inception. Start locally, break through long-standing incumbencies on auto-pilot, push the GOP out and push the Democrats to honor their progressive core. Congratulations to all the activists, of any kind, that launched Linda Stender. - - Promoted by Rosi Efthim

I know I don't need to tell you here at Blue Jersey how much it meant to me and my 2006 campaign to have the unwavering support of our state's outstanding grassroots and netroots communities. Without the online support of the folks here at Blue Jersey and the offline support of everyone who got involved in my campaign through Blue 7th and New Jersey for Democracy, we could not have come as close as we did to starting Mike Ferguson's retirement a few years early. And for that, people like Rosi Efthim and Nathan Rudy deserve so much credit. In fact, I'm sure that the grassroots groundswell of support for our campaign played a large role in his decision to not run for re-election this year. And it's that same support that we're going to have to rely on to win this November.

So it is with great pride that I'm writing to announce our latest endorsement, from Democracy For America. I am thrilled to be recognized alongside other great candidates like Eric Massa and Mark Begich, but I recognize that this is not all about me. Mostly, it's about you.
