2010 Fire Dogs: Kucinich, Grayson and Weiner Win

"After a week of voting that saw over 110,000 votes cast, the winners of the FDL 2010 Fire Dogs Contest are:

First Place: Dennis Kucinich, 24,967 votes
Second Place: Alan Grayson, 17,296 votes
Third Place: Anthony Weiner, 13,160 votes

Each of these members of Congress will all receive a $10,000 FDL ActBlue fundraiser, and the FDL community will phone bank into their districts to ID 500 likely voters for GOTV efforts. At that point, we’ll open up the contest for Round 2, and start it again in a contest for three more candidates...

In a year when even safe Democrats are facing serious challenges to their seats, the online community can provide support by virtue of our numbers that lobbyists can’t.

Getting members of Congress to start thinking about the blogs in a different way by demonstrating to them all, right now, that we know how to help our friends is a really important step in turning things around..."



Thank you Firedoglake!

"My friends at Firedoglake,

Thank you for your support in casting me as a FDL Fire Dog.

I am mindful that there are many deserving incumbents and I will work with Firedoglake to support those choices in this poll and future polls. I am very grateful to all those who participated in FDL’s poll.

Thanks to Jane and everyone at FDL for all you do each and every day. I am proud to stand strong and fight for the issues that you and I believe in.

Sincerely,

Dennis
