I am getting lots of email from liberal/progressive groups seeking contributions
Edited on Fri Sep-10-10 04:09 PM by old mark
for progressive Democrats in order to help us win in November. I cannot donate to all of them - I have donated to some of them before. I most restrict most of my donations to my candidates here in PA.
I URGE you to find candidates you can support and find ways to help them - help US - beat the media supported, frantic campaigns of the GOP and the "Teabaggers".
The right is extremely crazy this year, and we NEED to keep control of congress,of governorships even gain a little more power if and where we can.
Please look online for groups who are working for Democrats/Liberals/Progressives running for ANY OFFICE AT ALL - we really don't need more Republicans anywhere.

Let THEM be the ones wondering what went wrong in November.

Thanks.

1. If they still had Howard Dean in charge of that Democratic
committee instead of Kaine they would be making more progress. And if they put Dashchle in as Chief of Staff we will see the difference in Obama's decisions almost immediately. Tom Dashchle is for the American Public not the Corporations.

and I'm not made of money so I'm donating to the types of people that asshole Tim Kaine doesn't think deserve any help, those going up against total butthead GOPs. If nothing else, my donations and others will show the idiot DLC that progressives are proven moneymakers and that maybe they've got the fundraising thing all wrong, too.

Then again, they're conservatives and no conservative has ever been able to admit he's on the wrong track and maybe he needs to try something else.

4. Me, too - I'm retired and, oddly, not rich, so I have to pick and choose
carefully who gets the few bucks I can donate...several tight races here in PA including Onorato for Governor and Sestak for Senate - both got a few bucks, and will get a few more shortly.

Thanks for helping - do whatever you can.

7. I am doing the same thing... I live in Iowa.. but
am also sending what dollars I have to Wisconsin to help Russ Feingold. Nothing in this world would make me happier than seeing that smug self righteous media eat a little crow.. well maybe not a little.. A LOT

8. Well Said...GOTV Is Where It's At...
I'm starting to sense Democrats "coming home"...those who were either angry at this administration or ambivelent are starting to believe the pundits and see the real danger of rushpublicans regaining any power. Moderates and Independents are seeing faces like Angle, Palin, Bachmann, Boner and the other unhinged and starting to have doubts about their competency. In short many people are just starting to pay attention to the elections and this is the time to get involved in one form or another.

For donations, I've been following the Act Blue and political races on DKOS and have donated to several campaigns that I feel need the extra bucks. The real need is going to be for feet on the ground...people making sure Democratic voters get to the polls on Election Day and to reach as many of these voters as possible.

Every little bit counts...

Cheers...
