Who out there is working to make sure we keep the Senate and take back the House?

Stand up and be counted, and thanked (by me at least)!

Our Governor told a meeting of the party today here that if we don't keep the Senate, our state is in deep trouble. We do not want to be the 51st red seat- can not be. We need to mobilize for either of the Democrats in this Senate race, Mazie Hirono or Ed Case, and either of the 3 Democrats, Rafael Del Castillo, Tulsi Gabbard, or Mufi Hanneman for House seat CD2.

How about your area? DU, huuuuiiii!

Hey guys! Best of luck in your races in HI, let me know if there's ever anything I can do for you. My name is Mike Connolly, and I'm trying to take a seat that's been held by the GOP for many, many years. It's just been re-organized though, and I think we have a good shot at taking it since there isn't an incumbent.

Please visit and "follow" my campaign site at:

And please "like" my facebook page at:

Thank you so much guys, and please, make a small donation on the blog site. I appreciate it so much.
-Mike

Hi mahina, thank you for keeping the fight up. We as democrats, "left-wing", liberals, need to unite. It is nuts to not be in solidarity.
We MUST go out and vote, even on non-Presidential, elections. I, myself am a big local government, campaigner. Trying to convince people that is where it starts, and their voices need to be heard.
thanks for the post.

A few years ago Rush Limbaugh messed with the Democrat Primary by having Republicans vote as Democrats in the Primary. How about returning the deed? Everybody should show up on election day to vote in Ron Paul for Republican nominee. He hasn't won a single state yet and should be an easy victory in November. Check your states primary date http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/2012-republican-primary-schedule/

There's too many people that would vote Paul over Obama because of his anti-war stance, which is his only redeeming quality. He's too black and white in his thinking, and he wants to fuck with medicare, education, social security, etc etc.

I'm actually glad Obama didn't just let our manufacturing base completely collapse to ruin like he would have done.
