I need your help!

Care2 Friends,

I need your help.

We are all on here because we want to effect positive change in the world – on local, national and global scales.  We stand up for human rights, civil rights, humane treatment of animals, protection of the innocent and helpless, good stewardship of the Earth, political freedom, justice and responsibility in our actions.

And, as all of you know, we are often at odds with our governments who seem to disregard the will of the people so they can meet their own agendas.  This is particularly true here in the United States.  The actions of the U.S. government the past seven years have had a profound impact on our citizens and the world at large.  Whether for good or bad, this country leads a good portion of the rest of the world, even if for no other reason than economic impact.  We’ve embroiled other nations in our war of choice and our industries play a major role in environmental pollution and degradation.

This year, we have a chance to change much of what has been going on in this country.  The American people are ready for a sea-change in direction.  For that, we MUST have a large, Progressive majority in both the House and Senate regardless of who is in the White House.  Congress cannot pass good laws for the President to sign if it is evenly divided or under right-wing control. 

What has that got to do with all of you??  Well, a LOT!!  Even if you are not a U.S. citizen, our election will impact your life somehow.  To that end, I’m hoping you will see fit to send this note on to EVERYONE you know.  I’m also hoping you’ll help me out.  Why?  Well, I’m running for Congress in Arizona’s Congressional District #6 against an incumbent Republican who went unchallenged for 2 terms and I NEED YOUR HELP.  He’s well financed and his family is wealthy as well.

You all may not know, but I’m a librarian making a living, but I’m not personally at ALL wealthy, nor do I have big contacts who are.  However, we’ve all seen the tremendous power of grassroots efforts by large numbers of individuals.  Individuals like YOU.  I’m asking that you put that power behind me in my bid for election.  I’m NOT a politician.  I AM ONE OF YOU.  

But, unfortunately, candidates for Congress cannot utilize Clean Elections, so I need money to campaign.  Jeff Flake, the current Representative has consistently voted against everything we on Care2 stand for.  His lock-step marching with Bush and Big Business has harmed our town, our state, our nation and the world.

I’m asking a simple thing: go to my webpage http://www.schneider2008.com.  Read about me and my stances and then make a small donation of $10, $25 or even $50.  I think you’ll like what you see…and you all know my stands on the environment, animals, civil and human rights, etc.  As many of you know as well, I’m no sniveling coward and I won’t back down to bullying when I know something is patently wrong.

I don’t have big backers, but I have the power of the people!!  Please help me be your voice in Congress.  We CAN ensure a Progressive majority in Congress by supporting ALL progressive candidates even if they aren’t in our district or our state.

Please, take the time to read my website, www.schneider2008.com .  If you believe in those values, if you want to see some sanity restored to our world, then please make a small donation of $10, $25 or even $50 and then pass this along to EVERYONE you know!!  Who knows…you just might help change the world!  Sorry, but you must be a U.S citizen or permanent legal residence in the U.S. to give.

I thank you all in advance!!  Let’s make a difference!!!

Fondly,

Rebecca Schneider, Candidate, U.S. House District 6, Arizona

P.S.  I’ll probably get suspended or banned from Care2 for “soliciting”, but it is a risk I must take!!  Just pass this along as quickly as possible to reach as many people as we can.

I can be reached at schneiderforcongress@gmail.com  if I end up gone (but ONLY for things relating to the elections, please.).

No way would you be suspended for campaigning for office at Care2, Rebecca - they are mostly concerned with people trying to use Care2 to sell products.

I commend you for running for Congress, and I hope you are an inspiration for other "common folk" all over the nation to do the same.

*greenstars* and a donation to you, Rebecca! and thank you for caring enough to ACT.
