DFNYC (and others) for Christine Jennings, Democrat of Florida (updated)
Dear Friends,
Since our last email we have added Stephanie Low, Patti Kenner, Anne Hess and Craig Kaplan to our Host committee.
On top of that Democracy for New York City has agreed to Co-Sponsor the event.
These new hosts and DFNYC know we need to send Christine to Washington, because – by all rights – she should already be there.
In 2006, Republican Vern Buchanan beat Christine Jennings by 373 votes in Florida’s 13th District (Sarasota and Tampa). With less than one half of one percent of the vote, the tiny margin triggered great controversy (sound familiar?).
The Republican candidate ultimately won by 369 votes, although the mystery of over 18,000 “undervotes” in the district’s Sarasota County went unsolved.
Ironically, Christine was running for the Congressional seat vacated by Katharine Harris (yes, that Katharine Harris), who made an unsuccessful bid for the Senate in ’06.
Christine Jennings is a smart, self-made leader who rose from humble beginnings to become the CEO of a Florida bank. In the interest of justice, let’s help her take back this seat in 2008!
Thank you for helping us give new meaning to “government in the sunshine.”
I hope to see you on the evening of June 13. If you cannot attend, please consider making a donation at christinejenningsforcongress.com
And please do pass this email along to your friends!
Warm regards, Daniel Kadin
Date: June 13th, 5-8 pm
Place: The Home of Betsy Malcolm: 300 Central Park West #7B
Suggested Contribution: $250, $500, $1000, $2300

Jennings Rocks!
Joy and I were lucky enough to go to a fundraiser in 2006 for Christine Jennings. We were quite impressed. We both were reminded of Ann Richards, though not quite in a way we could put our finger on.
And it is so clear that she actually won and this is yet ANOTHER instance of Republicans having to cheat to win.
Christine Jennings needs our Support
The financial reporting time is coming up on the 30th. Christine needs a big showing to keep the pressure on Vern Buchanan. This is the man who after all dumped millions of his own money into the last race. The net-roots community needs to come together, dig deep, and support her. www.ChristineJennings2008.com/contribute
