Chalk another $500.oo to the netroots

I called Congressman Ackerman, NY-05, today.

They told me to call another number:
718-428-1513 is the campaign number.

No one was in (haha, what a joke) I suppose showing how much opposition he is running against (no repub).

Heck he has all three ballot lines. Dem, Ind, Working Families.

So i wasn't sure where to post that, but... thats the info.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone at MyDD.

The NRCC and Club for Growth have dumped three-quarters of a MILLION into Bill Sali's trunk this month alone, and Larry Grant has yet to see anything from the D-trip (though we were just upgraded onto From Red to Blue .... great news).

But the netroots have been behind us from the summer, and we so appreciate everything you have all done, from contributions to spreading the word about Larry and his great credentials.

Thanks ever so much from all of us here at Grant for Congress!!

How is Google Bombing going?

donated through ActBlue this morning.  

...I just found a toy I absolutely, positively, had to have today.

$100.

And just aftter I said I was already scraping the bottom of my barrel with my last $100....

So....

$50 more to Tester.
$50 more to McCaskill.

Damn Lutheran guilt.... ;-)

I highly recommend Firefox 2.0.  It spell checks text boxes like this, underlining misspelled words, and you can find recommended spellings by right-clicking and selecting the word from the drop-down (or add to the local dictionary).  Easy, simple, great!

Maybe it will alert Chris to all his typos before they make it to the front page. :)

If you want to get in on the action in suburban Philly, help call for PA Action.  We need 375 people to each give two hours of their time making calls using  a program very similar to the Move On program.  We're focusing on getting likely progressive women to the polls.  Twenty million women stayed home in 2004, which makes them the largest group of non-voters in America.  

Details are here.
Please help today and every day until November 8.

Gave Ciro Rodriquez $50 last night via Act Blue. Felt good.

I usually do some things with my local (union), but they're oddly doing most of their blockwalking/phonebanking stuff on a Saturday. I work on Saturday!

Why--WHY--can't they ever coordinate these things on a good day for me?

I'll just have to head over to Ciro's office on my own. Think I'll take the rugrat, too. Do him good to learn how these things work.

I just gave a little more at Actblue. I also just made some call for change calls. Obviously money is always key, but I want to encourage those of you who are tapped out or who want to contribute in an equally important if not more important way in the next week and a half to get on the phone or the streets. I've been campaigning for McNerney on weekends, but calling for change is something you can do anytime you have a few minutes free in front of your computer and help the really competitive races if you don't happen to live in or near one. It is shockingly easy, and from what the polisci people claim, useful.

As to the question: What happened to the blue district strategy? Are the incumbents in those districts too entrenched? It seemed like a good idea to especially target seats that might become safe in the next term.
