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, nobody matched my contribution to Jack Davis, presumably because he's a millionaire who doesn't need our help - and there are plenty of candidates who do. Makes sense to me
So today's candidate is one who needs our help. Nancy Boyda is running a low-budget campaign in a state where a few bucks can make a difference. She's got a poll that shows her in the lead - and her Abramoff-tied opponent has bupkis to answer with. He's running scared; brought Cheney in to fundraise. Nancy is a progressive pro-environment Dem, and she's getting $20 from me today.
Here's Nancy's website.
Here's my ActBlue page.
My donation history is below the fold.
Hat tip to
moneysh for suggesting Nancy.
I'm experimenting with a new toy from the fine folks at Google; here are my notes about Nancy. I'd welcome feedback on whether this is of any use.
