Every day until the election I'm making a contribution to a new candidate, announcing it here on Daily Kos, and encouraging you to join me. If one person matches my contribution on my ActBlue page, I'll double my contribution; if ten people match it, I'll triple. Thanks to
Aeolus and another Kossack who matched my contribution yesterday, I am sending Tammy Duckworth $20 more today.
Update: Thanks to scorpionic and Puffin, I must confess that today's donation looks like it was a mistake. Maxine appears to be corrupt, and we certainly don't need 435 of those in Congress! I'm saddened to learn this. I'll take her off my page forthwith; there will be no matching today. If you want to help out any of the other candidates on my list, please feel free. Sigh.
Here's my ActBlue page.
My donation history is below the fold.
Here's what I said (can't seem to get the <strike> tag to work):
Today I'm giving $20 to Maxine Waters. I was at DemocracyFest here in San Diego, in the audience wearing my Lamont t-shirt, as she pledged to go to Connecticut to help out Ned Lamont in the Democratic primary (a pledge, I need hardly point out, that she kept). I don't imagine Maxine's seat is in any way at risk, so this contribution is maybe a little more symbolic than most, but I'm just so happy to have her in Congress, I felt I needed to express my appreciation. How much better off we would be with 435 Maxine Waterses...
