Bonifaz: A Modern American Hero and You. Please Help!

John Bonifaz is running for Secretary of State in Mass.  He needs Seed money for his campaign.

Founder of the National Voting Rights Institute.

Co-founded the website "After Downing Street"

Served as lead counsel in a suit against the president for violating the war powers act.  

Author of "warrior-king" which argues for impeachment of George Bush.  

He is trying to raise $25,000 by August 23rd. I think we can help him meet his goal. Most of us can afford a 10 or 20 [a decent meal out - skipped once]which doesn't sound like much - but it can add up with our #s!

This man has been fighting our fight since before most of us knew there was something we should be fighting against/for/about etc.  A true grass roots hero.  Now is the time for us to support him with the resources at our disposal.

Thanks to Brad Blog for catching the story.
