Help A Fighting Kossack Get Elected!

Hello, everybody!  My name is Donald Bortz.  You all know me as djtyg.

As some of you already know, I'm a OIF/OEF vet.  I've written posts that have shown our need to get out of Iraq while I was over there.  

Now I'm home and running for office.  I'm asking you, my fellow Kossacks, to help me win.

My campaign is using a lot of netroots/grassroots support.  Netroots for fundraising and building a volunteer base, and grassroots for the ground game.

While our politicians in DC are debating whether or not they should support the troops, I'm already putting together a plan that will help the veterans in my county go to college and receive the benefits that they deserve but are being denied by the federal government for nothing more than political purposes.

Everyone of us has the ability to take back our government from the corrupt.  We have the ability to elect not just more Democrats, but good Democrats at every level of our government.  If we don't have a strong progressive to run, we need to be running ourselves.

Please visit my website and make a donation.  Anything you can give, whether it be $10, $25, $50, or even $500 will be a big help in getting my name out to the voters that can help ensure victory.

•  Good luck, djtyg!

  Thanks for standing for your fellow vets and showing 'em that DEMOCRATS are the ones who will act like patriots, not just wave the flag and talk the talk.

  Small donation from Florida on the way!

•  Thank you for your past and future service!

  Best of luck in your campaign for 4th District Oakland County Commissioner.  You're right: we all have the ability to take back our government -- and the responsibility to ensure that if we can't find someone to support, we need to step forward ourselves.

  Thank you also for your service as a U.S. military service member.

  Watch for a contribution from a North Carolinian Kossack in support of your work, your vision, and your reminder of our obligations as citizens.
