I don't make much money these days, and I've already given $100 to various House races and another $50 to the DSCC and another $50 to the League of Conservation Voters. I thought I was done.
And then I read the latest news about how the Democratic Party Establishment is debating whether it's worth it to take out a loan to pursue a broadening array of toss-up races around the country. Are you kidding me?
This is the best opportunity we've had to change this country in a decade. A DINO-proof Democratic majority in the House would allow us to show the country what Democrats in charge will do with their power. It will inspire people to understand "what the Democrats stand for," as they pass lobbying reform, aid the working poor, and bring our soldiers home. It will codify and record the corruption and immorality of the Republican autocracy through crucial investigations. It will help the oppressed all around the country and around the world.
This race is worth everything we've got.
So I gave another $50.01 to the DNC and another $50 spread among the tight races that I've been following.
We should all lift our voices and empty our wallets today, to show the Democratic Party insiders that we are all willing to sacrfice to take back the country. They should too.

UPDATED: OK, so after seeing the diary about DNC running out of matching grants, I pulled another $150 in matching into the mix. Next month I may owe the credit card companies, but I'll least I'll be owing them in a country with a Democratic legislature!
