This morning John received the ringing endorsement« Thread Started on Dec 18, 2007, 12:02am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This morning John received the ringing endorsement of Mari Culver, the First Lady of Iowa. Across Iowa, Mari Culver is known as a strong advocate for hardworking families, with a passionate commitment to proper care and education for children and young people.To have her endorsement is an enormous boost for our efforts with just 17 days before the Iowa caucuses. It's an endorsement others had hoped for -- but John has secured it because he is campaigning to put American families first, with bold ideas for education and health care, for transformational change -- and for ending politics-as-usual in Washington.We already have significant momentum in Iowa -- but today's endorsement from Iowa's First Lady, Mari Culver, gives our thousands of volunteers and staff on the ground a major boost as they continue to work around the clock for John.And your support today provides a major boost as well. We're moving additional resources into Iowa and the other key early states -- resources allowing us to expand our direct contact outreach efforts with caucus-goers and voters. I'm challenging you to raise $2 million to help get additional resources into Iowa, New Hampshire and the other early states right now. Will you do that for John?Click here to accept the challenge.+>>
