We hear this a lot: I wish I could vote for Alan, but I dont live in his district.[br /]
Well, now you can.[br /]
Democracy for America (DFA) is a million-member national organization founded by Gov. Howard Dean. DFA is holding its Grassroots All-Stars contest, to help choose the candidates whom DFA will support in 2012. The contest is here.[br /]
We have only three words to say: VOTE-FOR-ALAN.[br /]
How do we know that Alan can win? Because he already has. In 2010, Democracy for Americas one million members chose Alan as DFAs Progressive Hero. He beat out every other Member of the House in his first term.[br /]
Lets do it again.[br /]
Last week, we won Blue Americas contest by a three-to-one margin over our closest competitor.[br /]
Lets do it again.[br /]
Click here to vote in DFAs contest. It costs nothing except a moment of your time. And you will help to swing DFAs support behind Alans campaign.[br /]
And then in November, lets do it again.[br /]

I am not in your district, but I know you fight for all of us and I can't wait to see you in operation against the Republicans again. That was always a thing of beauty!

There's a DU supporter of yours, who says he has worked (and will work) on your campaign, who also says he's going to write your name in for president in November. He lives in Orlando - so this is in a battleground state. Can you please persuade him, either by a reply to him in a thread, or by PM, that this is a bad idea - that President Obama needs the votes of your supporters? Thanks.
Here's the thread, and the particular post: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002217230#post36
On edit: they have now been banned from DU, so it's unlikely they'd read a reply by you anyway. I suppose a general reminder to your supporters to also vote for the President would work (though I doubt many would need telling).
