John, I learned in the military strategy is key.

No Dem Left Behind is stepping up to lead a team of local, rural organizations in a strategy to win at the national level.

(I recorded this clip to explain the impact our new projects can have, take a look)

This is the piece of the puzzle that has been missing in our national efforts for far too long. All politics is local. If we aren't winning local races and mobilizing people on local issues then we can't open the doors that lead to national success.

Fact is down ballot victories translate up. And we can turn out and attract more people to the party by leading on the issues themselves. Remember, our issues overwhelmingly win across the country no matter how "red" the state. There is no reason we can't be winning those elections.

Right now the folks at No Dem Left Behind are engineering strategies by reaching out and finding the best work being done by local organizations and coordinating their efforts within a framework to positively impact the outcomes of top-ticket races across the country.

Nobody is doing this critical work and No Dem Left Behind is stepping up and committing the resources to execute this vision - because it must be done! This is our blueprint for success! This is the direction and organization that has been lacking for rural Democrats for far, far too long.

John, I wouldn't ask you to believe in this if I didn't have full confidence in what we are doing - and I can tell you I've never been more excited to be part of No Dem Left Behind than right now, because of these new projects.

Stand with me and help support the day-to-day work that is vital to winning elections by chipping in to support these projects now.

John, an elite point guard facilitates a team's overall success  - and together we can fill that role as part of No Dem Left Behind. We will help orchestrate the crucial local victories and leverage that momentum to win more seats in Congress!

Sappers clear the way!
Airborne all the way!
