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.
Keeping with the local theme of my last couple of donations, today I'm making a donation to another local candidate, John Rinaldi. I saw him speak a couple of weeks ago at a DFA meeting; he's energetic and one of us. I just checked out his endorsements, and it's an impressive list. I think he'll make a fine congressman. I'm only kicking in $20 - remember, I'm trying to spread my money widely - but I think he's worth much more. Please help out.
Here's John's website.
Here's my ActBlue page.
Follow me below the fold for more reasons to support John and my donation history.
John Rinaldi is running against incumbent Republican Duncan Hunter, one of the
Abramoff 64, and a good friend of convicted felon Randy "Duke" Cunningham. Hunter took money from Jack Abramoff; he has staff connections with Jack Abramoff; his connections with Abramoff are cited in public records, including billing records or emails - and Hunter was in a position to do favors for Abramoff on Capitol Hill (many thanks to
dengre's helpful
diary for all of this information).
John Rinaldi is not afraid to talk about Hunter's corruption, not afraid to tie him to the Bush disaster. He knows it is time for us to get out of Iraq and says it loud and clear. He can win this seat, with my help and yours.
