I just got the following email from Democracy for America:
Gary West for Virginia House of Delegates
Vivian -
Longtime community leader Gary West has spent his legal career taking on big corporations and government bureaucracies on behalf of the people. West and attorney Richard Glasser were among the first in the country to pursue litigation on behalf of workers and their families who had been exposed to asbestos.
Gary’s appointment to the Newport News Planning Commission in 2001 was a continuation of his lifelong commitment to public service. His unanimous appointment to the Commission proved he can bring people together in the name of progress. Gary currently serves as Chairman of the Regulations Committee and seeks to bring his work to the next level as your representative in the Virginia House of Delegates.
Gary West is the only DFA-endorsed candidate in the race for Virginia House of Delegates, District 94.
VOLUNTEER OR CONTRIBUTE RIGHT NOW TO HELP MOVE VIRGINIA FORWARDWith your help we can improve the way Virginia builds roads, educates our children, and keeps our homes and families safe. As a long time resident, Gary understands the needs of the community and will work with YOU to bring progress to Virginia.
Stand with Democracy for America and support Gary West in the race for Virginia House of Delegates, District 94.
TAKE A STAND – LEND A HAND!
Thank you for all you do!-Jim
Jim Dean, Chair
Democracy for America
Getting the DFA endorsement is no small feat. Congratulations to Gary!
So Gary West was endorsed by Howard Dean’s far left organization in a district that has a history of moderate-conservative voting.BYAAAA!
Posted by Laura Murphy | Friday, July 10, 2009, 8:31 amLets see, district voted FOR, Warner(Mark), Miller(John), Webb, Bobby Scott, Tim Kaine, and yes, lets not forget Obama. What part of “you’re clueless and don’t know jack about the district” are you having trouble comprehending? Gary West will put the final touches on the removal of the roadblocks from the General Assembly(that would be republicans sparky)and continue the progress made by progressives. Laura, stick to Virginia Beach politics, you don’t know anything about the Peninsula, but then you should have learned that from the devastating defeat of Marty Williams! Drink the Kool Aid hun, they’re pouring it just for you!

The far right is all that is left for the rethugs at this time.
Our country is going forward and all you have is a teabag.
