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. Yesterday
Aeolus,
eph89, and
opendna all matched (or exceeded!) my contribution to Jim Brandt's campaign, so today I'm sending Jim $20 more.
A few days ago in the comments, vets74 suggested Coleen Rowley. You all know her as the FBI whistleblower who brought to light missed opportunities to detect Al Qaeda terrorists before 9/11, and I'm sure most of you know she's running for Congress in Minnesota. Matt Stoller posted this yesterday on MyDD, which reminded me just how much I want her strong, honest voice in the House. So here's $20 for Coleen. Who will join me?
Here's Coleen's website.
Here's my ActBlue page.
