We ALL need to donate to Marcy Kaptur's Congressional campaign

[Nikki Stone1]

Her outspokenness in Michael Moore's movie and on Bill Moyers (among other things) is making her some dangerous enemies on Wall street. She is the only one out there speaking for the foreclosed.


Watch her here:

Here is her website:

1. I was very impressed by her in "Capitalism" and on Bill Moyers' Journal......

...... Her outrage is genuine.

[Nikki Stone1]

2. She actually continues to live in Toledo and sees the foreclosures on a daily basis

She's smart (MIT) and good people.

42. I live in Toledo

and Marcy is my congressperson! She is awesome and we all love her. She has been winning Ohio's District 9 handily for years.

[Nikki Stone1]

3. I see my little unrec friends are at it again. :)

LOL!!!!!!!!

5. i know, it's amazing. well, i just rec'd to offset,

i wish i could do it more than once. :hi:


I actually caught myself thinking today... that hopefully she's not flying small planes.

She's probably THE most outspoken member of Congress at this point, after all.

[Nikki Stone1]

7. Thank you.

And I'm worried about her too.

[Blue_In_AK]

12. I rec'd for you.

I've been quite impressed with Marcy Kaptur lately. I wish more congresspeople would speak out as she has been doing.

[calimary]

35. So did I!

8. thank you so much for posting this. DU used to send roses..... I think the donations are much more

important.

Between her and Grayson, there are finally some voices.

She is an inspiration.

I would have missed this, if not for your post. Thank you.

[Nikki Stone1]

11. I just love this woman and she will need our help in 2010

You know Citicorp will be gunning for her.

[bobbolink]

15. I also suggest we nominate HER for a backbone award!

Her courage is inspiring. Although.... we have so very few with a spine that I worry about losing her... in one way or another.

What do you think about a backbone award? Think we can get enough people together to make this happen?

[Nikki Stone1]

16. How would we do it?

I'm all for it.

[bobbolink]

18. I got the links for Grayson, and it got a strange response.

I'll PM that to you.

Here is the link for the award....

20. Awesome.

I love the idea!

[Nikki Stone1]

21. Awesome.

I love the idea!

[bobbolink]

22. You haven't heard of it before? I think this is a terrific program.

Did you see the picture of the "puppet" they use in parades, etc?

This is a genius idea, and I think both Grayson and Kaptur should be awarded!

Beats the heck out of roses!

[Nikki Stone1]

23. Me, too.

Let's see what I can do.

[bobbolink]

25. Please let me know. I appreciate you taking the lead, but others of us need to do our part!

:yourock:

[katkat]

46. strange response

Strange response from who?

[bobbolink]

47. Backbone campaign,

Were you following the conversation, or coming in in the middle?

This was about nominating him for a backbone award.

OK?

[katkat]

48. strange response

What strange response? And from who there? That's what I was asking.

[truedelphi]

9. What a great American.

We will be donating to her campaign any chance we can. (also to Kooch and Maxine Waters and Lynn Woolsey.)

[asdjrocky]

10. And she's got some great staffers too!

Her and a very small handful get some money from me this cycle.

[lonestarnot]

13. Got a link? or can contributors donate at her website?

[Nikki Stone1]

17. You can contact her office. I've been searching the website for a way to make donations.

I find it very cool that the website doesn't beg for money. I plan to call her office tomorrow morning and send a check.

[lonestarnot]

19. Thanks Nikki Stone1

[bobbolink]

[sabrina 1]

14. She's great and I agree ~ she was one of the stars

of MM's movie.

[unkachuck]

26. I seen her on Bill Moyers....

....we need a Congress full of Marcy Kapturs....allow me the honor and privledge of giving this thread a big, fat, delicious kick!

[troubledamerican]

27. Anyone got an ONLINE link to donate? Her website has nothing.

My time is limited for writing & mailing physical checks, and I want to donate.

[Nikki Stone1]

28. I promise I'll find out for you. I'm calling her office tomorrow.

As soon as I get the info I'll post.

[bertman]

29. Good work, Nikki. She's a real progressive stalwart. I'm sure the Banksters will be

gunning for her in the next election.

I hope she doesn't fly on small aircraft.

Recommend.

37. errr, she won her last election by 74-26

I don't think she's in that much danger. The money might be better used in Kilroy's district. Since he won by about 40 votes.

Or there's my own district where State Senator Laura Kelly will be attempting to re-take the seat that was taken by one term Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins. It's a long shot, but we did win that seat in 2006.




edit: dang, I forgot my closing line



Kilroy was here

[Nikki Stone1]

38. errr, she's been very outspoken of recent and challenged Citibank at a dinner where

all the other Dems were fawning. And she's appeared in Michael Moore's movie.

Even if she weren't so out there, how many people contributed to Alan Grayson for tough talk? Kaptur does tough deeds and needs to be supported by all progressives.

[jakefrep]

40. I'd be surprised if Marcy had a credible opponent in 2010

There isn't a single electable Republican in her district.

45. Marcy is in a safe district

The thought is a good one, but the dollars are needed in other districts.
