Please consider helping Iowa Secretary of Agriculture candidate, Sierran Francis Thicke, get some national recognition and funding.  
Thanks, Donna


Democracy for America, founded by Howard Dean, is a national organization that endorses progressive candidates.  Endorsement by DFA gives a candidate national visibility and the potential for national fundraising.  DFA will soon be making their next round of candidate endorsements.  Some of the criteria they use to choose candidates include how progressive the candidate is and how much grassroots support the candidate has.  On the DFA website is a listing of all candidates (nationally) who are seeking DFA endorsement.  Anyone can get on the DFA website and click on a candidate to show their support.

To vote for Francis, go to www.democracyforamerica.com
 
On their home page, click on "signup".  (Or, if you're like me, you will already be logged in to the DFA site and can skip this part.)  That will take you to a page with two options.  You can sign up via FaceBook (which is a little easier) on the left side, or just sign in on the right side of the page.  Signing in requires your name, email address and a password you make up. 
 
When signed in, put your mouse pointer over the “Endorsements” tab on the upper left.  That will cause a dropdown box to appear.  Click on the second box (Current Applicants).  That will take you to a page with all the candidates seeking endorsement.  You will see “Thicke for Agriculture.”
