Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down

Our View

"Thumbs up to John Kefalas for running an honorable and admirable campaign to represent House District 52. Kefalas was extremely influential in encouraging and engaging Latino people and disadvantaged groups in the political process and helped them realize that they did, indeed, have a voice in the voting process. The good news is, that although Kefalas lost the election by a small margin, he will continue to serve the needs of the poor and struggling in Colorado in whatever future position he undertakes. God bless him!"

The Kerry campaign wants the RPCV vote. Read our interview with Dave Magnani, Massachusetts State Senator and Founder of "RPCVs for Kerry," and his answers to our questions about Kerry's plan to triple the size of the Peace Corps, should the next PC Director be an RPCV, and Safety and Security issues. Then read the "RPCVs for Kerry" statement of support and statements by Dr. Robert Pastor, Ambassador Parker Borg, and Paul Oostburg Sanz made at the "RPCVs for Kerry" Press Conference.

RPCV Carl Pope says the key to winning this election is not swaying undecided voters, but persuading those already willing to vote for your candidate to actually go to the polls.

Take our poll and tell us what you are doing to support your candidate.

Finally read our wrap-up of the eight RPCVs in Senate and House races around the country and where the candidates are in their races.
