50-State Strategy: West Virginia is Byrd Country

I received this update from Talley, one of your West Virginia Democratic Party Field Organizers.

Yesterday was a wonderful day for Mountain State Democrats! In our state there are two days that ring more patriotic than others: Independence Day and June 20th, West Virginia Day.

Tucked among the hills in North Central West Virginia, Democrats held a number of house parties to celebrate our two favorite things: West Virginia and Senator Robert C. Byrd. Senator Byrd – a patriot himself – joined via phone from the nation’s Capitol to share in fellowship with his constituents while continuing to serve the best interests of the great people of West Virginia.

Senator Byrd’s re-election campaign is on the forefront of the Democratic Party’s 50-State Strategy. Precinct by precinct, neighborhood by neighborhood, and even hill by hill, Democrats throughout the state are working to organize on his behalf so that hollow remarks from a challenger, not only don’t ring true, but don’t ring at all.

West Virginia is poised to re-elect Senator Byrd this election year. And it will be because he knows the people – his fellow West Virginians – and strives daily to shape policy to fit their needs. Byrd’s patriotism, his values, and his common sense approach to finding solutions to our state’s and nation’s problems mean so much to so many in this state.

On West Virginia Day, we pause to remember our state’s rich history. Yet, we also focus on our future – a future that includes another term to the U.S. Senate for Robert C. Byrd.

North Central West Virginians have enthusiastically jumped on board the great 50-State Strategy. In part due to (our new DNC field organizer)Talley's energy and leadership and in part due to our eagerness to accept both, we are rolling forward with the grass-roots organization and movement that will not only put Senator Byrd back in his well-deserved seat, but will also put our beloved and very Democratic state back in the so-called "Blue column" for the next (and many more) Presidential election. We appreciate her help AND the attention that the DNC is finally giving to West Virginia!

I was dissapointed in him today.He pulled a Benidict Arnold on the Feingold/Kerry Amendment on the Senate floor and I didn't take too kindly to that.

Sorry

I'm not thrilled with Byrd these days either.

He has made some very bad choices in votes lately.

I know he is in a Red State, but some of his votes are anti-Constitution !
