It's time to make history

On the day after an election, the celebration is twice as sweet for those of us who have made the victories happen. But, of course, victory happens only if thousands of us quit saying, "I don't have the time right now." Right now is the only time. With ten days before the election, every day is essential.

Earlier this week when I dropped by the Harrisonburg Obama office, I ran into a friend who said she and her husband are canvassing everyday because knocking on doors helps her to deal with her "anxiety level." If you're a bit anxious yourself or tired of watching history unfold without you, we have good news for you. There's plenty of work to do everywhere -- including new field offices in Roanoke and Covington and Woodstock! Never in my memory has the 6th district offered us so much opportunity.

Voting for Obama/Warner/Rasoul is only half the story; for the other half, continue reading.
