Mark Warner has released a short video clip about the importance and opportunities of 2006. Take a look and if you agree that 2006 is critical year for Democrats, please come to the Forward Together PAC site and tell us how you plan to help Democrats win in 2006.
Governor Warner has been busy campaigning for Democrats across the country, including Francine Busby, Claire McCaskill, Harold Ford, Jr.
More from Governor Warner in the extended entry.
Here’s more from an email Governor Warner sent to supporters of the Forward Together PAC earlier today:
“2006 is going to be a critical year. Not only is the Congress at stake, but we’ve got 36 governorships, a series of state houses and local elections as well. And if we are going to be successful, Democrats have to be the party, this year, that lays out a progressive forward-looking agenda for our country.
“That’s what Forward Together is about this year: supporting those candidates who will be able to not only expand our Democratic family, but also pick up some of those disaffected Republicans and independents who are very scared by today’s Republican Party — a party that lacks fiscal discipline, that increasingly is being controlled by the social right-wing agenda.
“Democrats need to be the party that is for innovation and investment in education and providing greater access to affordable health care, the party that brings everyone forward together. There is a particular opportunity for us to reach out to rural America with a message of economic hope for areas that once carried our economy on their back, and now need new investment and educational outreach to succeed again in a global economy. If the Democratic Party can provide those ideas, we can take back the Congress, we can end up winning the majority of the governorships and that will set us up well for future elections.”
