THANK YOU!! :applause: :yourock:

We live in a very poor district, we've had mills close down (I'm in NC) on one end, soldiers whose lives are being used on the other and we are working so hard to get rid of the people who are doing Bush's bidding.

Our county party has been building up a grassroots effort to be a part of that change and we worked like crazy to get a great Democrat in the House in '06. We were using the same dedicated people (locally) for donations and had to get by the best we could. Larry Kissell is the candidate and he was not getting very much love from National groups. He didn't have a glamorous campaign so we watched as money went to the star Democratic Brother (Shuler, NC-12) and Kissell was looked over often. We knew just from hearing his passion and plans for us that Kissell was the real thing (here's his web page to give you an idea www.larrykissell.com). We did the best we could with what we had and Kissell, himself, passion for change, and grassroots efforts got him within only 300 points of winning.

Fastforward to '08; I had the pleasure recently of stuffing envelopes with his thank you letters from a fundraiser. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many letters addressed to people outside of our state, it honestly choked me up to see that others who won't have an opportunity to vote for him see the potential and promise he has for our district. For people who are low on cash but filled with a passion to see him elected, it is very much appreciated when we get help like this. I just wanted to let you know how much a difference you do make if you've ever donated to someone you won't be able vote for.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
