Phone Bank for Kerry Bolognese

Dear Friend,


I have exciting news!


We now have the same capability for Remote Phone Banking that Scott Brown used successfully last month in Massachusetts.


If a Republican can win in Massachusetts with Remote Phone Banking, then we can definitely win with it in Fairfax County.


Go to www.RPV.org/HD41 and check it out now!


Please help Kerry Bolognese in the special election for District 41 by making 41 phone calls from your own home. All the data will be automatically saved and you don't have to write anything down.


After years of trailing the Democrats in technology, Republicans have finally caught up.


Simply go to www.RPV.org/HD41 and sign up. Once you sign up, log-in information will be sent to you via email - and you can call from the comfort of your home.


Kerry Bolognese ran for this same seat last year and only lost by 209 votes to an entrenched incumbent. Can you make 41 calls from home to help Kerry?

This special election on Tuesday, March 2nd will be all about turning out the Republican base. You making 41 phone calls will help put Kerry over the top in the 41st District this year.


Voters are tired of answering the phone to recorded messages. With only a few days left until the March 2nd special election, every personal phone call we make will have a huge impact.


Please go to www.RPV.org/HD41 right now and sign up.

Thank you,

Justin Shaffer
Field Director
Kerry Bolognese For Delegate

What Is On The Line In The 41st

Reposted from Mason Conservative because some things just need to be read.


I'm hearing that the state party is going to stay out of Kerry Bolognese's race to flip Dave Marsden's delegate seat, thinking that they already have a big enough majority. I couldn't be more unhappy about that if it true, Bolognese ran a true grassroots, shoe-leather campaign last fall and deserves to finish what he started, and he deserves to have the full support of the entire apparatus of the party. The county committee is firmly supporting Kerry.

What Bolognese needs is money and he needs people. There is more going on here than just a special elections, it effects the remarkable turnaround of Republican fortunes in Northern Virginia, and the upcoming 11th district congressional race that might be the last time we get a chance to take down Gerry Connolly. Losing the Cuccinelli seante seat and the possibly losing the 41st delegate district stifles the momentum we gained by our wins in three delegate districts and the incredible numbers racked up by our statewides.

Also, make no mistake about it, Gerry Connolly is involved in these races and he's working on building Democratic momentum going into his reelection and embarrassing Republicans, particularly Pat Herrity who has many overlapping areas of the 41st, as an attempt to depress Republican activism. I can't say that it will work, given the victories here in Virginia and New Jersey and Massachusetts, Republicans are about as fired up as I've ever seen. But if Bolognese can check the Democrats and flip a delegate seat he almost won by less that 200 votes just a few months ago, I truly believe it will help either Pat Herrity or Keith Fimian in defeating Connolly. We need to prove we can win on his turf, and a Bolognese win would be a body blow to Connolly's reelection and proof that Republicans do have the ground game and the message to win.

GO KERRY! I encourage everyone to go give money, and then maybe some time when you have it. We have to win this!

Sen. Webb Steps Up

Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts this week has sparked a new light in the Republican party. However, on the other side of the isle, we see the Democrats wiggling in their seats, debating the outcome of the 2010 elections and beyond.

Some Dems, however, are hearing the rally cry coming from the American people. Virginia Senator Jim Webb has been the first to acknowledge that Obamacare should slow down until they have an adequate representation of the people (i.e. until Brown is seated).

Calling the election a referendum on the "openness and integrity of our government process," Webb wrote in a statement: "It is vital that we restore the respect of the American people in our system of government and in our leaders. To that end, I believe it would only be fair and prudent that we suspend further votes on health care legislation until Senator-elect Brown is seated."

In short, he is scared.

But at least he is listening, and let’s hope that many more Dems follow in his footsteps.

Scott Brown for U.S. Senate

A month ago noone would have predicted this, but now almost everyone is saying that Scott Brown, a Republican will probably win today's special election for Massachusetts Senate seat. All the recent polls have him leading significantly, and many people are describing Martha Coakley's campaign as being in freefall. It was a campaign filled with gaffs and mistakes by Coakley in the final weeks, and increasing support for Brown from conservative activists around the nation. Hopefully when all the votes are counted Brown will be the winner, and Obama's healthcare plan will be dealt a major blow as Senate Democrats lose their 60 vote majority.
