We are winning in four counties!

Hello Team Kennedy!

Early voting has ended and Kennedy fought for each and every early vote. Our preliminary numbers show us carrying four key counties in the district, and with your help on Election Day we can secure four more important counties and send Billy to Washington.

This midterm election is the most important election of a generation, and you don't want to be the only one sitting on the sidelines in 2010.

What can you do?

Call those who haven't voted and ask them to vote on Election Day for Billy Kennedy!

We need each and every one of our supporters to make 20 phone calls to push our campaign closer to victory tomorrow. We have fought a hard campaign that has been recognized state-wide for it's grassroots field program and dependable supporters.

Will you do your part to encourage voters to come out and support Billy tomorrow? Let's prove the talking heads wrong and show them that the working man can win in 2010.

Fired up, Ready to go!

Four Days to Go ... Will You Help?



We are down to the wire.  We have only four days left to change Washington.  While the pundits say the national Republican tide is strong, we have done this before.  We have won when the chips are down, and that's why we need you more than ever now.

We are proud to support a man like Billy Kennedy for Congress.  His closing remarks at the debate are a clarion call for action in these final days.  Click on this link to see Billy's call to change Washington.

After watching the video, sign up to volunteer at one of our get-out-the vote events in an area near you.  Call, email, facebook, and twitter your friends and ask them to come help us too.  With your help we will fix the broken politics of Washington.

Many of you stepped up to the plate when we asked you to keep our ads on the air, and now we are asking for something just as precious--your time AND your vote.
