(42,368 posts)Phil Ehr needs, and deserves, all the support he can get.
I'd also push for support for the Democrat running against my pathetic Rep, Daniel Webster. Another very red district, but she is fearless! Last election, she even went and spoke to a Tea Party group. www.danacottrellforcongress.com.
We need to support our red district Democrats!
