Granny Doc is always reminding us to support the DNC, and a contribution with your credit card is a great way to do it. But there are other ways to contribute. (Remember "Had Enough"?) I am asking for help to defeat one of the wingnuttiest people in the Congress, Steve King of Iowa.
Steve King is the bigot who said that Al Qaeda would be dancing in the streets if Obama wins. Desmoinesdem has a handy catalog of his sins here, and there are a lot of them. Last week he asked Scott McClellan why he couldn't have taken his accusations to the grave with him. (If Scotty's old friends had known what a sensation his book would be, he might have.)
If King loses, I personally will be dancing in the streets with anyone who cares to join me.
The Democratic candidate is a decent, smart progressive named Rob Hubler. A Navy veteran, activist, and retired pastor, he will be hard to slime. He would not have voted for telecom immunity either.
His web site needs work, and when I emailed that suggestion to his campaign, they replied that they can't afford the prices they have been quoted for a professional job. So I ask you, are there any Kossacks who can make his website look more like this? They are willing to pay for it, but the substantial four figures prices they have been quoted are not realistic for this lean campaign.
Email: dave [at] hublercongress dot com if you're interested in helping out.
Or you can just go to ActBlue and send Rob some love.
