It's great to see "Progressive Kick" - a self-described "organization of pragmatic progressives, dedicated to construction of a society that values the needs/rights/responsibilities of all of its members" - kicking in to support five excellent Democratic House of Delegates candidates here in Virginia: Robin Abbott (93rd), Margi Vanderhye (34th), Stevens Miller (86th), John Bell (13th), and Peggy Frank (7th). All of these Democrats are superb, but in addition they're also running against far-right-wing (Barbara Comstock, "Sideshow Bob" Marshall), lame (Dave Nutter, Tom Rust), and/or corrupt (Phil Hamilton) Republicans. A double whammy, in other words. To help elect the good guys over the...well, the other guys, Progressive Kick has raised $25,000 in matching funds, which means that your donation of $25, $50 or $100, "thanks to Progressive Kick's national network of matching donors, will turn into $50, $100, or even $200 to bring progressive change to Virginia." Sounds like something we can all get a "kick" out of!
P.S. Obviously, there are other excellent progressive candidates running this year in Virginia - for instance, my friend Scott Surovell (44th), the most excellent Joe Bouchard (83rd) and Tom Shields (73rd), and many others. I urge you to support all of them.
