Ciro Rodríguez Needs Our Help!

Congressman Ciro Rodríguez backed President Obama on Health Care Reform and he took a lot of heat for it. Now he is the target of massive right wing attacks designed to replace him with a RepubliCorp extremist. We need to back him now!

Please read this message from campaign staffer Jaime Solís and respond to him directly if you can help. The request is for poll reporters on November 2, but they also need phone banking help right through the weekend.

Thanks, Joel Mayer
