Glenn Nye is having a great run for the Congress. His race is out of my area, but I have been aware of it, partly due to the national attention it gets. He needs more attention to make this race a sure thing win. This is where you come in.
State Democratic Convention Hampton VA

Recently, some of the attendees of Netroots Nation in Austin TX. had a 24-hour marathon posting on DailyKos for Glenn, and pictures from Netroots Nation/Netroots for the Troops efforts going on during that time in Austin. A huge amount of money was not raised, but I am sure some was, and there was a raising of awareness in Glenn’s background, plus many people on DailyKos got to chat with him.
He was at Vivian’s Memorial Day Bash at her home in Norfolk at the end of May. He talked with lots of people there, posed for some pictures, met some candidates for next year’s state races, and generally had a good time.
He spoke eloquently at the Democratic Convention in Hampton as well. His grasp of the issues of our times, especially foreign policy, makes him an ideal ally to the Obama Administration as they try to clean up the mess created by Bush and people like Thelma Drake and Virgil Goode. He was warmly received at the convention, and again, you could see him all over the place shaking hands and talking to people.
He will be a great replacement for Thelma Drake, who has done nothing but revel in the damage and destruction done by her buddy, George W. Bush.
I like Glenn, and he needs a chance to win this. If you can, go over to the Coordinated Campaign office opening in Norfolk this weekend. Drop some money off while you are there. After all, we can’t have ‘Congress Guy Glenn Nye’ unless we help him compete on an even playing field. Drop some for the other candidates too, if you have some to spare.
Thank You.
