Want Blue to Win in 2006 - What are YOU doing about it?
As a US Senate candidate (D-RI), who's a political outsider and answers only to the public, I'm willing to take on the slings and arrows from the insiders and those across the aisle.

What we all need is to spend less time venting and more time pushing in the same direction at the same time. It is known in military terms as exploiting weakness with focus of action. Enough talk. Action is what candidates and the party needs. This could be fundraising, it could be blogging every appropriate website to increase candidate visibility and public awareness, it could be emailing and calling people you know, it could be writing letters to the editor as to who you favor and why, but it has got to stop being BITCHING ABOUT THE GOP TO OTHERS WHO ALREADY KNOW we are fighting a one party system masquerading as a two party system.

It's a populist movement, when we push for change. My focus is Impeaching Bush and his cabal of corruption and an end to the War in Iraq so we can go about uniting our countries, strengthening our alliances globally, making large coroporations accountable for taxes and job creation, national healthcare, alternative energy and equality. These are nonpartisan issues that puts the middle class in the front. I also believe we need to roll back the wealth taxes on millionaires and billionaires to 2001 levels.

It's common sense and I'm willing to share the heavy lifting. It'll take uncommon courage to do this every day through 11/7, but it has got to start now. Will ou help me?

1. If an election for President were held now - 93% would vote for a
dem according to the electoral college. We are doing okay. Better than okay.

9. I need YOUR help to Make History and Turn Arkansas Blue!
I am the first openly gay candidate to run statewide in my homestate of
Arkansas. We have a chance in Arkansas to make history. I have been
working to put myself in a position to win the Lt. Governor's office.

During the NCCM conference last year, I heeded the call of my former boss,
the General (Wes Clark) and decided to run for Lt. Governor to provide my
state with a progressive voice of common sense in the Democratic Party
rather than being Republican lite.

I have championed the issues of harnessing technology as a source for a
new industry in our state. You can see my economic plan at my website. I
have focused on many issues besides GLBT Issues and they have placed me in
a winnable position.

My website is http://www.DrewPritt.com

Initially I had hoped groups like Victory Fund would be supportive. They
have not, because they focus on incumbents or candidates with large war
chests. Yet in a crowded primary field and hard work, I have worked myself
to a position where I can win. I cannot invest another dime of my money
though in this campaign. I need to raise money.

>From late March to April 4th is the filing for office. To get on the
ballot in Arkansas, I need to raise $7500. I need to find 75 people to
donate $100 then I can get my name on the ballot easily. In addition, I
need to raise between $50,000 - $100,000 for television.

What I am asking is will you help me? What I need and ask is this :

1.) Donate $100 to help me get on the ballot?

2.) Help me raise the $7500? I am sure you might have some friends and I
am asking in all sincerity.

3.) After that, if you can help me raise the television money, I am so
appreciative.

You can donate online at : http://www.drewpritt.com/Contribute.htm

This is not the easiest thing to do, asking others to invest money in me.
Especially people who do not know me. Thats why I have really waited till
now to start raising money and invested the initial amount from my own
pocket.

Check out my new website at http://www.DrewPritt.com/ or
http://www.PromotingPritt.com/

One other thing is a film that is being made about me. You can read about
it at http://www.CitizenPritt.com/

Get back to me as soon as you can.

Thank you for your time!
