Oh and mopinko, Thanks for leading!
but first, I want to thank you for contributing.
If we only gave to a sure thing, then any little money any of us give isn't as such a big deal as the money sent in to a campaign that we truly believe in - one that needs us; and/or one that is critical to not only the candidate's district, but vital to our nation at large.
Eric Cantor is a bad man by betraying our nation with privileged Congressional information; and his hypocritical tea-bagging antics is injurious to our country.
When I get paid, I'll send a few dollars, myself. A few dollars is better than none, & a belief is as important as a sure thing.
just for brooklynite-
i will put up another $100 if we hit $2000.
and another $100 if we hit $3000.
and this is why-
is this a winnable district? like dr dean, i believe every district is winnable one democrat at a time. we need a 50 state strategy. the dnc might not be using that strategy, but i am.
there are wins and there are wins. reaching out, building the democratic party in areas like this, is a win.
even this right here is a big win, imho. bringing virtual democrats out to help shoe leather democrats is a win.
backing away from a good fight is just not my way. as long as the other guy walks away with some lumps too, i am fine with it.
i am chuckling at the thought of cantor with a bloody nose right now!
so 
to all of you who have stepped up to the plate.
and to you, brooklynite- 
and to everyone who was able and willing to donate!!
for the "crowd", of which I am not a member but I can relate!
prodded by this:
As polling indicates, we will defeat Eric Cantor if we can tell Wayne’s story and increase his name recognition in the 7th Congressional District.
This will require us to raise $1000,000 in the next three weeks. We are ready to tell the story on TV, Radio, newspapers and billboards… we just need the money.
If each of the 3,162 contributors, who have already generously given, gave another $50 we would have more than enough to get started towards ending Eric Cantor’s auction of the American political system.

Also attending his town hall in Fredericksburg this evening.
Think we can kick this up again, mop? I've done 2 posts on the subject w/in the last hour. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
You know it when you smell Republican cheese.
Oh. did I just say that?
