Will We Democrats Give the GOP a Chance to Win the Senate?

That is the question some of us are asking. Will Democrats perform as they usually do in midterm elections and sit out the November 4 general election? I guess that remains to be seen. What do know is this: IT MUST NOT HAPPEN! Sorry to shout, but, I REALLY MEAN IT! We have been posting many ways a concerned citizen can get involved. We have shared the information, now, we wait to see if Democrats and other concerned citizens answer the call to action. Yesterday, I mentioned the Democratic Senatorial Campaign  (DSCC) Website. http://www.dscc.org/actioncenter You can go here: http://www.dscc.org/races select a state and sign up to help. It is all set up and ready for you to take action. At a minimum, you can tweet or post on Facebook about the race. You can also enter your email to get future calls to action. You can click the read more link to learn what the DSCC has to say about that state's race. Also check this one: http://www.dscc.org/content/2014-candidates

 Here's an example of what you will find. Let's look at the Kentucky Senate Race: "Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes is running one of the most successful, disciplined campaigns in the country while enthusiasm for defeating McConnell is off the charts. Grimes recently traveled across Kentucky on a 50-county, 10-day jobs tour, meeting thousands of Kentuckians." 

The site also gives information about her likely opponent: " Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is the face of Washington’s dysfunction and is in the weakest position he has ever faced in his nearly 40 years in politics. McConnell has an embarrassing record of championing gridlock and obstruction in Washington and putting special interests ahead of Kentuckians. McConnell has already spent nearly $12 million on his reelection campaign, yet he has failed to move his numbers one bit. McConnell remains the most unpopular Senator in the entire country, and the latest Bluegrass poll shows that only 29% of Kentuckians have a favorable view of him.On the campaign trail, McConnell looks as bad has his approval numbers. He became Kentucky’s own Sharron Angle by declaring it’s “not my job” to bring local jobs to Kentucky. Twenty recent polls have shown Grimes tied or ahead of Mitch McConnell. In the first quarter, Grimes outraised Mitch McConnell again, hauling in $2.7 million and has raised more than $8 million overall." 

Here's what Ballotpedia has to say about the Democratic candidate: http://ballotpedia.org/Alison_Lundergan_Grimes

From now until the November election, the polls will come and go, Nate Silver (http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/republican-gop-senate-forecast/) will share his analysis of them, but what happens on election day will make the difference. Democrats and other concerned citizens will determine that day whether our country will go forward or go back to old, failed GOP policies.

Please get involved and help in any way you can. https://www.facebook.com/ProgressiveDemocratsMovingForwardNotBack?ref_type=bookmark #PDMFNB @PDMFNB
