		<description>Malik Rahim is mentioned in the latest New Orleans Times-Picayune article about William Jefferson&#039;s impending trial. Republicans are leaving messages to tell people to vote for their candidate, Joseph Cao. 
We can&#039;t let the anti-Jefferson vote default to the Republicans, who are responsible for the tragedy of Katrina. Get on there and let New Orleanians know that they can vote for a great candidate and still vote against the bad:

(btw, a lot of comments there are ignorant and/or racist, as is unfortunately the case when you venture outside of GPW. Let&#039;s leave comments that would make Malik proud as well as win him votes.)</description>

		<description>The campaign is gaining momentum. I got this letter from team Rahim today:

Dear campaign supporters,

Because of your help the campaign has raised almost $10,000 in ten days!   I want to especially thank Green Party members from around the country. Your money has allowed us to purchase 10,000 pushcards, signs, stickers, t-shirts and a modest radio package on WBOK AM that will debut tomorrow.  It has allowed our volunteers to have materials for door to door canvassing, and has begun to change the perspective of many of our friends that had been sitting on the sidelines. Our biggest challenge is to move voters away from a quiet resignation of incumbent reelection to the hope and inspiration that Malik offers: universal healthcare, troops out of Iraq, sustainable energy, rebuilding the wetlands and and power of the people instead of the corporations.

To do that we need to continually increase our presence.   We have succeeded in galvanizing pockets of grassroots support. Now we need to spread our message throughout the district.  We  hope to increase our radio advertising to the more popular FM urban market stations and to premier a digital billboard by Monday the 24th. But advertising costs are astronomical. With two weeks left in the campaign to go we must raise $1,000 per day to reach out campaign goal of $30,000. Donate now at www.votemalik.com/contribute and please encourage friends and family to contribute.

Thank you again for your recent contribution.  We could not do it without you, and every donation brings us closer to our goal.

For environmental peace and justice.

Together, we are making a difference!

Sincerely,

Shawn G. Christy
