Dear friend of Green Change,

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when the levees broke and the
federal authorities failed to help, Malik Rahim answered New Orleans'
distress call, organizing thousands of Common Ground volunteers to provide
food, health care and other basic services to hurricane victims.

Now Hurricane Gustav has delayed the election in Louisiana's 2nd
Congressional District to December 6th, and Malik Rahim is running for
Congress against one of the most corrupt politicians in Washington, Rep.
William Jefferson. Louisiana voters deserve an alternative to Jefferson,
who is facing trial for 16 counts of corruption.

That's where Malik Rahim comes in. To the people of New Orleans, Malik is
a hero. He can win. But he needs our help.

We know that with volunteers on the ground and money in the bank, a
community organizer with a message of hope can triumph over corrupt
politics-as-usual. Now is our chance to make history and elect the first
Green member of Congress.

Will you answer the call?

Sign up to help Malik Rahim today.

Then send Malik $25, $250 or whatever you can afford now at
http://votemalik.com/contribute/.

Every little bit goes a long way towards putting volunteers on the ground
and getting Malik's voice on New Orleans radio, so please give what you
can today.

You can also contribute to this grassroots campaign simply by sending this
email to your friends and family.
