More and Better Democrats

by: Dean Barker

Wed Jul 02, 2008 at 19:13:39 PM EDT


As you may already know, Darcy Burner's (WA-08) house burnt down yesterday morning.

I could tell you how Darcy has been a progressive leader who has fully embraced the netroots, how her defeat by the slimmest of margins last cycle was one of the only sour notes of that time, how she is running strong again and has been a leader on a Responsible Plan to End the Iraq War.

But the shirt she's wearing in the photo of her in front of her ruined home pretty much says it all.  So while she takes some time off the campaign trail to get her family's life back in order, why not help her out for a race she has a real chance of winning?  And if you want to know her stand on FISA (from last year):

And I don't need to tell you that having more and better Democrats like Darcy Burner in Congress will be good news for Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes, and bad news for Steny Hoyer.

Hmmm.... (0.00 / 0)
I knew there was a reason I keep linking Darcy in my head with a certain other progressive Congresswoman also known for her endless grassroots energy:

Darcy Burner grew up in a blue collar military family in rural towns across America.

Nice catch, Dean. I want to know who's selling it (4.00 / 1)
