As many of you might have already seen on the front page of today's Cleveland Plain Dealer Peter Lewis, the President of Progressive Insurance (based in Cleveland) and a multi-gazillionare who's also a very generous donor and financial backer of liberal and progressive causes (including, btw, marijuana decriminalization), has pledged at least TWELVE MILLION dollars to the cause of kicking Shrub's ass back to his Crawford Ranch next year. To have a businessman of his stature and wealth on our side is truly wonderful.
I just read Skinner's thread on DU's monthly expenses (around $12,000.00 per month), and the fact that DU gets more traffice than even MoveOn.org. I don't know about you, but I don't think I would do very well without DU! If I'm not on for at least a couple hours a day, I get mighty cranky, lol! The problem is, I really don't have a whole lot of extra cash so I'm afraid I can't put too much of a dent in their expenses. However, with Peter Lewis pledging as much money as he has to the cause, maybe we could think of a way to approach him to donate a substantial sum to DU. We do a lot of work in regards to making people aware of the necessity of wiping the smirk off of Shrub's face and getting him the hell out of the WH, and I think we could convince him that it would definitely be a useful and worthy donation.
