Welcome to our official blog, where I will be posting updates from the campaign trail regularly to keep our supporters in the grassroots and netroots communities updated about the status of our campaign for change.

I’m a big believer in the power of grassroots organizing – that’s why I’ve been such a loyal reader and supporter of blogs like Michigan Liberal, Blogging for Michigan and DailyKos. These sites have empowered a whole new generation of voters to get involved in the political process and fight for the kind of change that will move our country in a new direction.

For this race to be successful, I’ll need your help online and on the ground to organize supporters and spread our message across the 7th district this year.

That’s why I’ll need your help this Saturday, July 26, when we will be competing with congressional campaigns across the country for Mobilize for Change: A National Day of Action. The goal is to see which Democratic campaign can recruit the most volunteers to phone bank and canvass that day, and the winner will receive a fundraising letter from a prominent Democrat to a national email list with more than 3 million subscribers!

As most of you know, the 7th district covers parts of seven different counties across south central Michigan, so there’s a lot of ground for us to cover. By signing up to help out on the National Day of Action this Saturday, you can help us reach out to voters in critical areas that will help us win in November – and put us in the running to win this national competition!
