Short synopsis:

Five reasons to get involved in state legislative races:

1. The 2010 census looms.
2. Many policy matters are determined at the state level.
3. Getting progressive Democrats elected to state legislatures will build our bench for future House, Senate or gubernatorial races.
4. You probably can find a competitive statehouse race near you, no matter where you live.
5. Your individual actions are more likely to make a difference in a statehouse race.

It's great reading and a good pitch on why state house and senate races are so important.
