I’m 23 years old, uninsured, work for a non-profit, and needless to say, I‘m on a tight budget. Despite those obstacles, I have just sent a very hard earned $50 to two endangered Democrats who voted for health care reform this past Saturday. As someone who has a personal stake in seeing health care reform pass, I think it is absolutely imperative that we let Democrats in the Senate know that there are advantages to doing the right thing.
In addition to my $50 donation, and in what I’m calling "The Peanut Butter and Jelly Challenge", I am pledging to forgo my food and entertainment budget for one week if you can help me raise another $5,000 for these candidates. Last week I spent $162 going out with my friends, ordering pizzas, and indulging in a Saturday latte. This week I am willing to eat nothing but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and send $162 to two endangered Democrats who supported us on health care reform. Please help me make my goal by pledging your own donation:
