As we at Team Englin regroup from the primary and start looking toward November, please take a moment to read what a couple of bloggers have written about their experiences with our campaign:
An Antidote to Political Alienation – Get Involved!
(Click here for complete article.)
Many Americans say they feel alienated from politics. Many don’t even bother to vote. That’s too bad for a whole host of reasons, including some serious ones related to the health of our Democracy, etc. For the moment, though, I just want to focus on another reason: they’re missing out on a whole lot of fun! Food, friends, comaraderie, team bonding, meeting new people you never would have met otherwise, getting a lot of great excercise, working up a sweat, pushing yourself to the max, talking, laughing, crying, taking up a challenge and then accomplishing it.
That’s what grassroots politics can be all about. And that’s exactly what I had the chance to experience yesterday, with the David Englin campaign.
A Victory for the Politics of Conviction and the Tactic of Hard Work

I began my day today at 5:00 am and spent 14 hours on my feet in temperatures that approached 100 degrees helping David Englin win the Democratic nomination to represent the 45th district in the Virginia House of Delegates. So why am I blogging at a quarter till midnight instead of sleeping? Because what David his incredible volunteer effort accomplished in the 45th’s 25 precincts is truly remarkable. And it has implications for the Commonwealth of Virginia that extend far beyond the boundaries of this Northern Virginia district—I hope Tim Kaine and the other Democratic nominees are paying attention.
David Englin discovered the secret to winning elections, a strategy so clever that long-time political professionals haven’t been able to figure it out. And I’m so excited about David’s discovery that I’m up tonight to share it with the world. Yup, that’s right, I’m going to put this secret strategy for success on the internet for the whole world to see. (This is freeware, folks!)
It’s never too late to join Team Englin’s efforts to help elect other Democratic candidates. Click here to volunteer or contact us at volunteer@davidenglin.org or 703-549-3203.
