Richard Morrison vs Tom Delay report

[Jane Austin]

Last week, it was mentioned here on DU that Dailykos was reporting some surprisingly low poll numbers for DeLay in his reelection bid for Congress.

Kos encouraged readers to donate to Morrisson, because he is seriously underfunded compared to DeLay.

Morrisson's website

<http://www.richardmorrisonfordistrict22.com/>

reports that they raised $20,000 in one week after that Kos report..

I think that's fantastic, and probably tripled Morrisson's bank account.

But, I think we can do better, so I'm asking everybody to go to his website, read about him and pass the word.

Getting rid of Tom DeLay would be a huge boost to progressive government.

1. Thank you!!!!

I was thinking about doing this same thing today!

And be sure to add .22 to signify it came from DU!:hi:

3. I definitely will. The bug man is one of the most outstanding examples

of conservative "thought" in America.

[Jane Austin]

13. Has anyone here donated buy not posted about it?

I'd really like to see Morrison get the funds to fight DeLay.

thanks.

20. I handed over a check to Melissa (volunteer coordinator) on Saturday

$50.22 in honor of DU!

[Jane Austin]

22. WooHoo!

n/t

[adadem]

4. Did it

$100.22

Come on guys...help get that bug catcher out of our government.

[Jane Austin]

5. Kick!

And double kick!

6. Has this guy

been in touch with Democracy for America or Michael Moore (win my tax return)?

[Jane Austin]

7. Sounds interesting.

Details?

[mrgorth]

16. Well

First, Democracy for America exists for the purpose of getting progressive candidates into office. I'm sure Dean would have an orgasm just thinking of putting Delay on ice.

Second, here's the link to Moore's thing:
http://www.michaelmoore.com/books-films/dudewheresmycountry/taxcut/index.php

it basically gets you money from Mike. I'd assume he's eager to get rid of Delay too.

[Jane Austin]

18. Thanks for those links.

I'll forward them to Morrison's campaign.

21. I know of several folks from DFA in Austin

who have been spending time working on this campaign. I am sure that we will be making it one of our major efforts this year.

8. Hear here!

Pardon the vanity post ----

I live in DeLay district and have done a little typing for the newspaper about local politics. I have a website that reflects what I've put in the newspaper about Tom. It's right about here - http://www.brazosriver.com/duhlay.htm

Be sure to follow the directions about the back key because about 90% of what I type is about local stuff that would bore you silly.

I don't think you people from foreign states have any idea how really awful DeLay is. He's just a shiver looking for a spine to run up.

10. Are you working on the campaign?

9. Delay needs to be sent back to Sugarland

The man is an idiot and needs to be sent back to the extermination business where he can cheat on taxes and lie in civil depositions. I am surprised that he is so vulnerable and hope that we can exploit this vulnerability.

11. I did my part!

$100.22 is on its way.

I think next paycheck its time to donate to Kerry again.

[Jane Austin]

12. Thanks!

A Morrison win over DeLay would have huge National implications.

I wonder if the rest of the country knows what a horror story DeLay really is?

14. KICK

:kick: :kick:

[robbedvoter]

15. yesss! Beat the s* out of Tom Delay! (methaphoricaly speaking)

[Jane Austin]

17. Thanks! Beating DeLay could have almost as much

effect as taking the Senate.

[Richardo]

19. ...and add .22 so they know it comes from DU!

$10.22
$20.22
etc.

It's the 22nd District, dontcha know! :D

[efhmc]

29. Thanks for this bit of info.

[NoPasaran]

23. Kick for the evening

:kick:
Come on folks, you too can help squash DeLay like a bug!

[Lisa0825]

24. Page 9 kick!!!

:kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick:

[ElementaryPenguin]

25. Delay perhaps even more evil than Prick Cheney and Herr Scumsfeld!

And THAT'S saying something!!

:puke:
:mad:

[Richardo]

28. You are exactly right, ep....

...he's way more dangerous to the very fundamentals of democracy. One party state, anyone? That's what Tommy and Grover Norquist are after.

[madfloridian]

26. I like that he stood up for Dean. I was upset about the Hill article.

Now he can keep my donation. He made his stance very clear. 2000 came to see Dean in Houston last year. I did not realize that.

[efhmc]

27. I am donating this morning.

We desperately need to get rid of this squirmy worm.
