I just helped Miller out a bit.

So far he has raised $58,504 from 1,685 donors. They're trying to get $100,000.

About Miller from Wiki:

Robert Lauransom 'Rob' Miller was the Democratic nominee for the United States House of Representatives from South Carolina's 2nd congressional district in 2008. He will also be running for Congress in 2010. He challenged and will be challenging again Republican incumbent Joe Wilson.

Miller served 13 years in the United States Marine Corps, including two tours of duty in the Iraq War.<1>
Though South Carolina is heavily Republican, national Democratic Party officials expressed optimism that Miller could compete for the seat, in part based on expected high turnout of supporters of Barack Obama.<2> In the days leading up to the election, Miller's campaign attracted the interest of top Democrats, and House Majority Whip James Clyburn, also of South Carolina, campaigned for Miller.<3> As of October 23, 2008, Miller had raised about $500,000, approximately half as much as Wilson.<4>

In the November 4 election, Wilson was reelected after Miller gained 46.4 percent of the vote.<5>

On September 9, 2009, Representative Wilson shouted disparaging remarks during President Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress.<6> Within hours Miller received tens of thousands of dollars in online donations for his 2010 campaign against Wilson.<7><8>

Fight Joe Wilson's "Lies" - Help out Rob Miller

Up until today, Joe Wilson was just another anonymous Southern Republican troglodyte Congressman, unknown to all but the poor people of South Carolina and the most serious horse race junkies.

Today, he's the hyena who disgraced himself, his party, and the House chamber by screaming "you lie!" like an 8 year-old during the President's eloquent speech on the most critical challenge facing our nation.

There's something we can do to let Joe Wilson know what we think of his childish approach to a serious problem -- we can help out Rob Miller. Rob is an Iraq War vet -- a Marine who came back to South Carolina to try and restore dignity to South Carolina's Second CD, where Joe Wilson was selling out the district by voting for unfair trade deals and corporate giveaways. Despite being a relative unknown, being outspent by a substantial margin, and a general Republican lean to the district, Rob came within just 8 points of knocking Wilson off in 2008. And we're lucky to have him running again.

Rob's a fair trade Democrat who supports the Employee Free Choice Act. He's a breath of fresh air for a state that desperately needs new leadership. And we can help him tonight, as the nation sees what an immature loser his opponent is. Let's chip in to help Rob -- with early financial support, and with the notoriety Wilson has brought on himself, we've got a chance to help send Joe Wilson packing -- and to bring maturity and decency to South Carolina politics.
