Can we make this diary title come true?
YES WE CAN!
Yesterday, 10-2-10, was a great day. 200,000 people from all over the country came to say: Take America forward!
YES WE CAN!
Activism is wonderful. Hope is wonderful. Volunteering is wonderful.
And, of course, MONEY is wonderful for candidates to have. Our candidates.
More below the fold
They came from all over America. They came in all sorts of transportation. They came, and they came, and they kept right on coming, filling the mall with Americans of all colors and creeds, of all ages and income brackets. They came, and listened, and talked .... and it was glorious.
And then .... they went home.
Some of us were there in body; all of us were there in spirit. And now, it's time to be there in terms of money.
Some of us have no money - I understand. People need to eat and pay rent and so on. But lots of us do have money. $5. $10. $100. Maybe more. Me? I am a charter member of the lucky sperm club. So I will kick this off with a donation of $1000.
Kick in what you can.
Because - together - yes we can.
You can give via ActBlue. There are a bunch of lists, but here is the one I favor, featuring some candidates who aren't getting the attention they deserve.
