Hi, I'm Lucas O'Connor, webmaster for the Boxer campaign, and this is a huge day for us.

Tonight, Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina are meeting for a debate in the Bay Area. And, today we're kicking off our "100,000 Strong for Boxer" money bomb!

Our ambitious goal is to raise 10,000 individual donations from Boxer supporters all across the country before midnight – and in the process, break through an incredible mark of 100,000 total grassroots donors to Barbara’s campaign to-date. It would be such a powerful statement about Barbara's grassroots support.

You can join the money bomb right now, right here:

It's great to be back here blogging with you at DailyKos!

First off, I'd just like to thank you for all of your support in the past -- from sending me roses on Valentine's Day a few years back to inviting me to speak at the first YearlyKos/Netroots Nation conference in Las Vegas as we work together to end the war in Iraq, stop climate change, fight for clean energy jobs, and take action on so many other issues.

But it's no secret: I'm in the middle of a tough re-election campaign against my right-wing opponent, Carly Fiorina.

Last Wednesday we took a major step forward in the fight against global warming. Senator John Kerry (D-MA) and I introduced the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act (S. 1733) which addresses major challenges of our generation:

· Protecting our children and the earth from dangerous pollution;

· Putting America back in control of our energy future; and

· Creating the policies that will lead to millions of new jobs.

Great to see you all again! It's always a pleasure to visit DailyKos, especially on days like today when we have occasion to celebrate.

Today, by a 68 – 31 vote, the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly voted to confirm Judge Sonia Sotomayor as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court!

I couldn't be more thrilled that this talented and experienced judge will be joining the highest court in the land. She will be an amazing asset to our country on the Supreme Court.

This is a time to celebrate. I hope you'll join me in congratulating Justice Sotomayor right now.

Sign our online congratulations card for Justice Sonia Sotomayor right now — and offer your own personal best wishes as well!

It's great to be back with you here at DailyKos! In the past, I've usually blogged to ask you to help respond to an urgent crisis. Well today I'm proud to tell you about an important, hard-fought victory that we won last night.

Just before midnight Thursday, the Senate finally passed the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act as an amendment to the defense authorization bill. This legislation is long overdue, and now we're finally on the verge of getting it signed into law.

On Wednesday, I spoke out on the Senate floor about the senseless death of Matthew Shepard, a tragedy that showed us we have a long way to go before we can truly say in this country there is equal justice for all. More than 10 years ago, two men offered Matthew, a gay man, a ride in their car. Subsequently, he was robbed. He was pistol whipped. He was tortured. He was tied to a fence in a remote rural area. And he was left to die.

This was a brutal, vicious hate crime -- and we've got to do everything in our power to make sure nothing like it ever happens again.

I'm about to head to the floor to vote against the Iraq supplemental. Before I do, I thought I would share with you the speech I delivered about the bill in the Senate today.

I'll be back after the vote to respond to some of your comments. Here's the speech I delivered on the floor today, explaining why I'm voting No:

It's great to be back here at DailyKos -- now in the majority! As we told the country last November, elections have consequences -- and one of those consequences was the change in leadership of the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee.

I just finished up our first hearing on global warming as the new Democratic Chair of the EPW Committee. Instead of a Chair who says global warming is a hoax, I said today that global warming is the challenge of our generation, and we must step up and meet it.

To that end, I hope you will help me move forward a bill that will be a meaningful start. We have lost so much time, so we must act quickly.

Many people have already offered suggestions to meet the challenge of global warming, and many other proposals are about to be put on the table. But I'd like to hear your ideas on the best way to move forward as well. What ideas do you think we should pursue? Let me know so that I can share your comments with my colleagues in the Senate at our next hearing.

Friends,

To Gina Cooper and the YearlyKos planning committee, the more than 1,000 of you that were in the conference hall, and the tens of thousands more that were with us in spirit online, thank you so much for inviting me to join you and for giving me such a warm reception in Las Vegas.

Speaking with you at YearlyKos was exhilarating because it reminded me of what democracy is all about -- and what America can be all about once more, if we keep fighting for what we believe. After joining you in Las Vegas, I'm more confident than ever that we can take back Congress this November -- but it's going to take all of us pulling together online, and reaching into our offline communities, to get it done.

You've got 'til midnight tonight

More than 40,000 Americans have already cast their ballots in our online vote that will determine which House incumbent and challenger will receive the next fundraising messages to the PAC for a Change email list.

This is your last chance, with just a few more hours to go until our online polls close, to join them. So I'm making one last "get out the vote" push.

Please visit www.barbaraboxer.com/vote now and vote for the House candidates PAC for a Change should support next -- before our online polls close at 11:59pm PT tonight! Read More

There are many critical races that will be decided this November -- races that will determine whether Democrats pick up the 15 seats we need to take back the House in 2006.

So today I'm inviting you to vote and decide which Democratic House candidates PAC for a Change should support next. The Democratic incumbent and the Democratic challenger receiving the most online votes will each be featured in a fundraising email to our PAC for a Change community -- which could be worth tens of thousands of dollars to their campaigns. (A similar fundraising email that we sent last month on behalf of my friend and colleague from Florida, Sen. Bill Nelson, raised more than $68,000 for his campaign.)

Secretary Rumsfeld, where's the plan?

Over just the past 12 days, more than 500 Iraqis have been tragically killed in Shia/Sunni violence in Iraq -- in the wake of the February 22nd bombing of the Askariya shrine in Samarra, a holy place for Shia Muslims.

Our brave men and women in uniform remain in harm's way, caught in the middle of an increasingly violent religious conflict -- and the situation is in real danger of spiraling into a full-scale civil war.

This is progress? More on the flip. Read More

Tell George Bush to nominate a new UN Ambassador!

As you know, on Tuesday the Senate Foreign Relations Committee met once more to consider the nomination of John Bolton as UN Ambassador. In the light of many serious allegations against Bolton that have emerged over the past few weeks, I along with the other committee Democrats urged Chairman Lugar to hold off on a final vote until these allegations could be fully explored.

Most observers expected our efforts to fail, figuring that committee Republicans would steamroll Democrats on a party line vote and ram Bolton's nomination through, sending it to the Senate floor for a final vote. But that didn't happen.

Thanks in large part to the efforts of the online community, including more than 37,000 emails you sent to your senators through my PAC website alone, Bolton's nomination was stopped in its tracks. Republican Senator George Voinovich of Ohio joined committee Democrats in urging more careful consideration of John Bolton's nomination, delaying a final vote for three weeks -- and I am so grateful for his support on this critical issue.

Now, it's time for us to do more. Read More
