Progressive Democrats of the East Bay
Jerry McNerney Special

This special edition of the Progressive Democrats of the East Bay newsletter highlights how you can help Jerry McNerney in his bid to unseat entrenched Republican Richard Pombo from his seat in Congress.

Jerry has been fighting, and winning, the grassroots battle in CA District 11 for over two years. But Jerry needs a big win in the June 6 primary, which will give him a tremendous boost in the general election.

Details on how you can help are listed below, and at our website, www.pdeastbay.org.

We at Progressive Democrats of the East Bay are sponsoring several activities to help elect progressives to office. Your participation is CRUCIAL! Please help in whatever way you can. We can't do it without you!

We will be sending out several newsletters and updates during the next couple of weeks to update you on our plans.


McNerney Campaign (Your Help Is Crucial!)

The June 6 election is coming up fast! If you are interested in replacing Pombo's voice in Congress with a progressive one, it is very important that you walk or phone for Jerry McNerney.

We need you to help us contact thousands of absentee voters AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, especially given how many absentee votes have NOT been cast. We plan to contact them by phone-banking and precinct walking. Your help is crucial!

Note: We're talking to LIKELY DEMOCRATIC VOTERS so precinct walking and phone banking is actually really easy!

If you're new to walking, we can pair you up with an experienced walker.

If you do not have time to participate but would like to help, please consider making a contribution to the campaign. And spread the word to your family and friends.

Here is what we have lined up. You can also check the constantly-updated McNerney calendar for additional events and actions.
