This country is in a hell of a hole and has a huge decision ahead of itself.
Even though there are so many problems, I remain optimistic IF - and that is a HUGE IF - we elect Obama / Biden.
With a newborn taking a good amount of time and living in California, it is hard for me to pop over to Reno like I did in 2004. I was able to bring the family down to protest Palin's fundraiser on Saturday and - thankfully - had a video camera when an angry McCain freak supporter was yelling in my face even though I had my baby was on my back and the police were just about 100 yards away. Apparently the cops who finally woke up and the good Obama supporters intervening was not enough, but the camera sure was. All I did was say "get a brain" and he went ballistic looking for fights while going through the Obama crowd.
But what else can I do? What can I do to really, really make that McCain crazy really nuts?
Well, one thing I can do now is donate some more money that is so desperately needed for that change we need and believe in. It is critical we rise up and donate now to Obama campaign - even if you have already in the past. These character assaults must be answered - strongly.
That is why I donated again today what I could - even though the financial future for all of us is in doubt. Well, we simply can not afford more of these McSame policies.
So, I thought I'd put a diary up asking for more donations. And Kos, if you have not done already (I know earlier you were saying you would not), you should donate to Obama campaign now and make a statement.
