The title says it all, but I'll get to that in a minute.
I've been getting e-mail updates from Al's Midwest Values PAC, which he's using to help all our Fighting Dems, and candidates looking to unseat Republican incumbents.
He recently lead a fund raising drive that would net the winner a $5,000 check (which can help the GOTV efforts these last few days). So many people donated, the winner (Victoria Wulsin) got her $5,000 while the other 9 candidates (Jason Altmire, Joe Sestak, Eric Massa, Joe Courtney, Diane Farrell, Charlie Brown, Scott Kleeb, Gary Trauner, and Steve Kagen)each got $2,500.
The fun part below
As the title says, Al will call a wingnut buddy of your choosing if you donate $500 before now and election day. Will it change his mind? Probably not. Will it be fun? Hell yes! Plus that money will go towards one of the many many many close races we're involved in this year.
And, as a special incentive, I'm offering the most valuable thing I have to offer: me, yelling at your obnoxious conservative friend on your behalf. If you contribute at least $500 to Midwest Values PAC, I will personally call a right-wing pal of your choosing between now and Election Day and tell them why the Democratic Party represents a better vision for America's future, or at least one in which fewer Congressmen go to prison. If they resist, I'll confront them with my trademark brand of scorn and ridicule.
Remember, the Holiday season is approaching and if you're looking at a way to piss off your right-wing in-laws without ruining your marriage, $500 doesn't seem so bad.
I don't have the money to give, unfortunately. I know several wingnut friends I want called. This is also the first time I've posted a diary strictly for donating, so if this is a faux pas, let me know and I'll dump the diary and try to come up with a more constructive one.
