Tom has created and mobilized a youth volunteer corps that is learning the art of grassroots organizing and campaigning. Tom is young and enthusiastic.
Tom’s background in community organizing and belief in citizen politics recommends him to progressives. He and his volunteers are walking precincts, holding signs, organizing house parties, and all of the other grassroots essentials that we Democrats have relearned in recent years.
Tom is demonstrating his independence by running as an Independent, not a bad idea in a district with 60% unenrolled. No Democratic candidate stepped up, and Tom is the only hope to take this seat.
I urge BMG’ers to give Tom a look and support him.
His web site is:
To date the Roache campaign has seemed incredibly well organized, I am very impressed.
I too was impressed by Tom. This is a progressive candidate that I know Dems here in the district (9th Norfolk) can get behind. Running as an independent is not easy so he really needs us to support him. If you are not sure about this guy just check out http://www.jointom.net to see what he is all about.
