5. starting to get late

hopefully we can get this bumped tomorrow n itll get more attention...

i think its a great idea for DU to have an actblue page that we can all go to and donate to people who believe in the same things we do...

most people have no clue about no named candidates who could actually have a chance if they just had the financial backing

[featherman]

6. Thanks... Jeff's a great candidate... the guy we've been waiting for to unseat

Wally Herger, a loyal Bushie best known for doing nothing for his district by Dems, Reps, and Inds alike. Several counties in the district have already gone from red to blue in registration this year and Obama is popular with a broad range of folks.

8. Dennis Kucinich and Jane Mitakides of Ohio

http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/12826

Everyone on DU knows and loves Dennis, one of the few actual progressive thinkers in office. He made some enemies in his last run for president and his attempt to impeach Cheney and Bush, so any contributions to help him hang on to his seat would be good for EVERYONE.

She's working to beat incumbent douchebag Mike Turner, who is even more of a Bush rubber stamp than McCain. Plus she's better looking than Sarah Palin.

15. Tom Perriello VA-05

Please help rid us of racist, homophobic Virgil Goode. You all may remember Good for this quote about Keith Ellison:

"I fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States if we do not adopt the strict immigration policies that I believe are necessary to preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America."


Tom Perriello's website here:

19. Nels Ackerson (IN-04)

Nels is flying pretty much under the radar but has a great campaign going against 8 term incumbent Steve Buyer. With Obama's momentum in Indiana and some excellent grass roots work being done by the Ackerson campaign, he's got a real chance. This week the swingstate project took note of this possibility.

He came close to beating Randy Kuhl in 2006. He has been very involved with Netroots since 2004 and is currently being swiftboated like crazy by Republicans in Upstate New York.

Andrew Rice is running against Jim Inhofe in Oklahoma. His poll numbers have been going up and he needs $7314 before midnight October 11

It's time to get rid of Steve "Combover" Chabot and Jean "Patriotic Scrunchie" Schmidt!!

THEY GOTTA GO!!!

[girl_interrupted]

49. Please!! Jim Martin (D) Georgia "This one is for Max" (Cleland)

Please add Jim Martin. Just got an email yesterday asking for funds: "This one is for Max" He is running against Sen. Saxby Chambliss. Chambliss ran an extraordinarily mean-spirited campaign in 2002, accusing decorated Vietnam veteran and triple amputee Max Cleland of lacking patriotism. Chambliss also paired pictures of Cleland with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. Chambliss won by 7%. This time he faces another Vietnam veteran. Obama's massive voter registration drive registered many new Democrats and this may benefit Martin. Polls show it to be very close. So PLEASE give whatever you can!
