Update

It's been brought to my attention that none of these Senate incumbents are up for re-election this cycle. I apologize for my lack of basic math skills today. I'll be posting ACTUAL candidates for this cycle from the Senate on next Saturday's edition of "Help Progressives Win" In the House section:

Donna Edwards is now running for the US Senate from Maryland. You can find her campaign website right here www.DonnaEdwardsforSenate.com

That list starts with our favorite national progressive in the US Senate today, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. The person responsible for the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

Sherrod Brown (Ohio) and Tammy Baldwin (Wisconsin) are also US Senate candidates on that list.

From the US House candidates with great policy ideas:

Mike Honda California (CA-17)

Ruben Gallego Arizona (AZ-07)

Keith Ellison Minnesota (MN-05)

Donna Edwards Maryland (MD-04)

Statehouse candidates who need your help NOW , with just 3 and a half weeks to go to election day in Virginia can be seen in the diaries of your fellow kossack, Gordon20024 and in mine, too.

Most of these Virginia State candidates have little financial help and could REALLY use a bit of cash OR VOLUNTEER HOURS in these final weeks for rally and yard signs for last minute events. Any help will go a long, long way!

Bernie Sanders has repeatedly said, in his stump speech and to both live and televised audiences that even should the voters send HIM to Washington D.C. to be our next President, that he can't do it alone.

That we need a "political revolution" to help him once he gets there. By that, he means that this election cycle it can't be just about the White House. That is must be about the 50 Statehouses and the people we send to the US Congress.

Because without a Congress and State governments ready and willing to work towards a better future TOGETHER, he will be stuck in the same place as Barack Obama has been stuck - as the Leader of Chaos ...

So if you have been liking what you hear from candidate Sanders, then I ask you to do what he has asked you to do:

Support the candidates who will support President Sanders

In the month of October, I'm asking for 5,000 people to send me at least $5.00 each, because I want what Bernie wants - I want to be sent to the other Washington upon the wishes and hopes of The People and not the desires and greed of the wealthy. With those donations I will be hiring a young man who is a student at University of Washington in the Poli-Sci department (who already has a paying political gig until November), to become my first and primary Field Organizer.

This position is critical for my Ground Game campaign, because I won't ever be airing tv ads. I'm going to be pursuing the votes of the people of the 3rd Congressional District of Washington State from their front doors, via the assistance of volunteers and activists who will be door knocking in every precinct in the District before the primary election next July.

The candidates listed above? They need the same kind of help. Not a lot from any one person, but a few dollars from a lot of them.

So if you want to see Bernie Sanders in the White House come January of 2017, then I beg of you, help send an army of progressives to the US Congress and the Statehouses to be his Defense Team when the time comes to rally the nation to push for new Legislation to enact the policies he will be pushing for.

Help him and candidates just like me to take the reins of power back from the Republican Party in the Statehouses and the US Congress - so that you can see the change you say you want.

Because no person, no President, can do it alone.

Support the Progressives who will support President Sanders...

as always...

p.s. kos, I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider choosing me as one of your Orange to Blue candidates for this cycle. To my knowledge, I'm the very first Daily Kos User who has decided to run for Congress. I know the DK Elections considers my District an R+ but with the help of Daily Kos
