Blue America’s last endorsement of the 2014 cycle is Jason Ritchie, the candidate running for the seat currently held by conservative Republican Dave Reichert.

Everyone who contributes, any amount, to Alan Grayson’s campaign on this Blue America page will get a chance to walk off with an RIAA-certified quadruple platinum award for the B52s iconic Cosmic Thing.

Shenna Bellows is the future of the U.S. Senate. She’s the future of progressive politics. There’s no one we’re more excited to support this year, and we hope you’ll join us-- right here and right now.

No Blue America candidate is better on Climate Change than congressional candidate Paul Clements. And he's running for the seat occupied by the #1 biggest enemy of the environment in the entire country, who bottles up all the environmental and climate proposals and never lets them see the light of day.

Blue America candidate Tom Guild Tom came out on top in a tough 3-way primary. This is the time to help him cross the finish line, because Oklahoma law requires a runoff, which has been set for August 26.

Blue America was one of the first groups outside of Massachusetts to endorse and start raising small contributions for Elizabeth Warren. She kept up with Brown and she beat him and in the end she won 56% of the votes. She's a beacon of inspiration for us today. And she very much reminds me of another woman from New England, Maine's Shenna Bellows, taking on a popular Republican incumbent.

We've had some real "REAL" Democratic primary wins this past week: Ted Lieu (CA), Pat Murphy (IA), Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ) Now it's time to really get to work to elect more and better (Blue America) Progressive Democrats!

One of the most critical primaries coming up next week is for Henry Waxman's House seat on the Westside of Los Angeles-- Santa Monica, Venice, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Redondo Beach… Blue America did a dual endorsement for a jungle primary that will yield two finalists for the November general election, hopefully two stalwart progressives.

Thanks to Howie Klein of Blue America PAC, you have a chance to win a Jimi Hendrix Platinum Album Award, for the album “Are You Experienced?” Read the attached to put this in context, so you recognize just how mind-boggling this opportunity is. PS: Here’s some friendly advice from Alan Grayson himself: "Don’t blow it."

Today Rep. Lee announced that her Barbara Lee Progressive PAC's top 8 priorities for congressional action starts with "Bringing an end to perpetual war, saving trillions of dollars and millions of lives." And her first endorsement of a challenger for the 2014 cycle, fellow Californian and peace advocate, Lee Rogers. You could win this beautiful Beatles signed photograph with any donation to Lee's campaign.

Is it worth $10.10 to you to help elect tribunes of the people like Rick Weiland and Shenna Bellows? Take my word for it, Bernie Sanders, Alan Grayson and Elizabeth Warren can't do it by themselves. We need lots more like them.

For the rest of this week, you are likely to be bombarded with hysterical, desperate spam from the DCCC, DSCC and their myriad candidates. So we're not going to send any more e-mails out 'til after that circus is over.
Instead, we're offering to send a $1,000 check from our PAC to whichever House candidate our members prefer. You tell us who.
