A challenge for DUers:

[elleng]

Hoping to avoid worse times, I've contributed to Conway (vs. R Paul), Grayson, and Coussoule (vs Boner), and will contribute to others. My contributions are in small amounts, but necessary, imo.

Please do the same/similar.

Thanks

1. I'm with you. I skipped a $60 dollar haircut (it's a really GOOD haircut) and

dispersed that money around also. Grayson is my only Florida candidate so far but I'll get the cut next month. They need this money now in order to plan for the next 8 weeks..

2. This is a dire emergency....

Usually I only donate to my own state or district, but I have already donated to several out of state races which might be close, and in which the Republican is especially odious. Please, everybody, we may be able to make a difference if everybody gets involved. (I do NOT give to DCC, DLC, DNC, etc. or any other party pac, unless it is specifically a progressive one, or my own state Dem. Committee.)

10. Thanks, Oceans.

Received this from Conway. Lets roll!

'I have an exciting announcement:

At 6:38 p.m., Fran T. of Gilbertsville, KY put us over our $260,000 goal with a $20 contribution, taking us from $259,985 to $260,005!

But then a funny thing happened: the contributions are still pouring in.

The stakes for beating a candidate as risky as Rand Paul are enormous, and every last dollar is crucial.'

4. I scraped up a teeny tiny donation for Grayson

I fear that's it for me this season, unfortunately. Felt damn good, though.

6. Can people also help remove Jean Schmidt (mean Jean)

Surya Yalamanchili is running against her.

Also Steve Driehaus because I can't stand the thought of comb over Chabot taking his seat back.

9. Heck, yes! Will do, asap!

12. Just got Chili!

7. Many thanks!

Boehner's my rep. The "Speaker Boehner" fear card has been played by party fundraisers many times, but not enough suggestions about supporting the challenger. Justin Coussoule knows what it's like to serve something other than himself.

8. You're welcome!

Contributed to Coussoule not ONLY because he's anti-boner, but I attended MU, in the District! Hi, rucky!

13. Boehner's Also My Rep & I Have Been Working My Ass Off On For The Coussoule Campaign

I would have to argue that the Boner VS Coussoule is going to be the most important race in the Nov elections because if Coussoule who has a tremendous record of Public Service being a West Point Grad and serving his country proudly on top of going to one of the best colleges in the country. Not to mention that Boehner is the incumbent and I believe whether Democrat or Repuglican it will be a bad year for incumbents and what people don't realize is that Justin Coussoule is a fairly young 30-37 year old I'd guess, and is attractive as a candidate not only for his looks but for his independent way of thinking which in this district the election will either be won or lost by the Independents vote which I believe with DU's help we can help him defeat Boner-Just think if Boehner loses and Lt Gov Fisher wins the vacated US Senate Seat and Gov Strickland wins re-election there is no way in hell Republicans will take back the house or the Senate and I believe Ohio will continue to support President Obama in 2012.
