The goal is simple: Blue Majority wants to raise $10,000 for Democrat Karen Carter this week. I've already laid out in detail exactly why we're backing Carter in her runoff against the corrupt William Jefferson, and I encourage you to read that earlier post. But the most important point is this one: We need to send a message that we won't tolerate corruption on the part of any public official, regardless of party.
Jefferson has a long rap sheet and doesn't deserve to be a part of the Democratic caucus. If we're going to run a clean House, then we need to clean house first. Karen Carter can beat Jefferson, but she needs our help. We've already raised some cash for her, but I know we can do more. So let's get her another ten grand this week from the grassroots. The runoff is soon - Dec. 9th - so time is short.
