Hello. I got this email today:

"Have you seen the polls? The reckless Republican shutdown has destroyed the GOP brand across America. Just check out what the Washington Post said about its recent poll:
“The survey highlights just how badly the GOP hard-liners and the leaders who went along with them misjudged the public mood. In the aftermath, eight in ten Americans say they disapprove of the shutdown. Two in three Republicans or independents who lean Republican share a negative view of the impasse. And even a majority of those who support the Tea Party movement disapprove.”
With Election Day coming up on November 5, Republican candidates are running scared as their poll numbers implode. All eyes are on the purple state of Virginia, where DFA’s “Purple to Blue” candidates have seen double-digit polling spikes. In a dramatic surge, four top-tier progressives are now in statistical dead heats with their Tea Party opponents.

As Gov. Howard Dean told DFA members during our nationwide DFA Live call on Monday: If Virginia Democrats win these critical elections, it will send a political shock wave across the country -- and
set the stage for Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats to take back control of the House of Representatives in 2014. That’s why DFA is mobilizing members across the country to Call Out The Vote in Virginia. And it’s why DFA’s Purple to Blue program needs your financial support. This is urgent -- please contribute now to defeat these Tea Party Republicans.

Democrat Jennifer Boysko and 12-year Republican incumbent Tom Rust are locked in a statistical dead heat, with Boysko gaining 16 points since the last poll. Democrat Kathleen Murphy is now leading Republican Barbara Comstock by three points. Democrat John Bell and Republican David Ramadan are tied. And Democrat Atif Qarni has jumped 13 points and trails by just three.

Let’s be clear. This isn’t just about the shutdown. DFA members like you have been contributing to these campaigns since April. We’ve had staff on the ground since May. We’ve made thousands of voter contacts both at the door and through our DFA Dialer program. And the resources and contributions we’ve provided directly to candidates has placed us in the top three donors to several candidates across Virginia.

DFA members have made a huge difference -- and now we urgently need your help at the finish line in this critical bellwether state. Please contribute now to defeat these Tea Party Republicans -- and send a message to their cronies in DC.

While we still have to wait until 2014 to take back the House, we can beat Republicans at the ballot box right now -- in Virginia. But only with your help.

Thank you for all that you do,

Jim

Jim Dean, Chair
Democracy for America"

I am very very pleased to read this. Now I must ask all people to vote out the Tea Party/GOP.

AND

I must beg all of us who love our country to HELP PEOPLE VOTE IN 2014!! And beyond. See the voter suppression nonsense is running rampant and I am NOT HAPPY. Remember that voter supression is alive and well. AND it isn't about "justice" it is about beating up those who vote Democratic. Don't believe me, well see below.



What I find hideously disgusting is that rational people who vote GOP don't take great offense at this. I bet that if the Dems were doing this they would be furious. I pledge to you now that if the Dems were doing this I would vote GOP out of sheer fury at this injustice.

Yet the GOP supporters aren't doing much. Shame, shame, shame. At least the yakking fool in the video was asked to step down. That's a step I guess.

So please, help people vote this coming election - and all elections. As Whoopi Goldberg once said "The country you save may be your own."

Love and Liberty,
-Purple
