Support Jay Ovittore

By clock on March 28, 2008.

I have announced before my support for my friend and blogger Jay Ovittore in his race to unseat the Republican Congressman Howard Coble. But before he can get there, he first needs to defeat the establishment Democrats in the primaries, still not easy for a true Progressive here in North Carolina.

The last day of this month is the day when the money is counted and you know that these numbers have a big effect on the way press reports on races (since they have no knowledge of the issues, or spine to report them, they use campaign finances as a proxy for who is "winning") which then become a self-fulfilling prophecy, etc...

So, to help Jay win the primaries (against opponents like this!), he needs the money. It's easy, through ActBlue - here.
