Who needs $$$$
My goal in 2006 is to donate money to Democratic candidates that need money. I'm talking about Democrats that are running in races where they can take a seat from a Repug (or Holy Joe). Senate, Congress, Gov .... whatever.

Please let me know of peeps I should send some green backs to?

I'm not talking a butt load of money ... just $10 or $5 here and there.

So far I've donated to Francine Busby (Congress in California), Ned Lamont, Phil Angelides (Gov Cal) and Nick Lampson (Congress TX .... DeLay's seat).

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

2. Shane Sklar (CD-14, Texas)
He's opposing wacko Ron Paul and has a good chance to beat him. He needs all the help everyone can spare.

4. Cool kids!!
Thanks, I'll get the ink flowing.

I think that this year it's important that we support candidate DIRECTLY. I don't hold much faith in the DNC after the last fucked up elections. That's why I want to keep my ear to the ground with y'all.

I think that DU should have a forum that list candidates to support. I feel bad for peeps that are running in the blood red area that don't stand a chance .... but I'd rather send money to people that could make a difference. I mean please .... I know that the Democrat running in Bakersfield, CA for congress is probably a fine person ... but let's get real. If we elect more Democrats in areas where we can win ... the better chances people have in turning "red" areas to purple.

That's my goal in 2006.

deserves all the pennies you can spare...
he orchestrated the investigation of Bush's stealing the Ohio election,
worked to build afterdowningstreet.org and is running for SOS in Massachussets
to clean up a very sick and broken election machine in that state...

Donate here....
https://secure.johnbonifaz.com/page/rigel99

having met him personally, I know he's the real deal!!!
Simple. He’s honest, he fights for citizens to get control of their government again with clean elections, his track record is Ohio Legal Wrangling on the 2004 Bush / Green/Libertarian Recount, Built the After Downing Street Organization, wrote a book on the legal aspects of Impeaching Bush, this man is a one man courageous powerhouse well connected, articulate CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE as SOS. He’ll turn back the tide of republican rigging of votes in not only his state but as an SOS in the national SOS organization and perhaps even correct huge flaws in HAVA…

6. Help us in Missouri!!
Claire McCaskill is running for Senate against Rethug Jim Talent. She has been involved in Missouri politics since the early '80s, lost a heartbreaking gubernatorial race to Senator Roy Blunt's douchebag son in 2004, and currently serves as the State Auditor. She has an excellent chance of winning and providing a real voice for Missourians!
