BREAKING: Boehner donates $4.1 million to save his Speakership.

We just got word that Speaker Boehner is in all-out panic mode. He donated over $4 million to our Republican counterparts to try to save his teetering majority.

President Obama needs a Democratic majority -- and we can make it happen.

Donate $5 or more right now to win a Democratic majority for President Obama >>

Thank you,

**People here missing the point? e.mail and post to encourage Dems to contribute to DEFEAT REPUGS' MAJORITY IN CONGRESS, not necessarily boner's seat. Boner probably allocated $4mill from repugs' campaign coffers to sustain repugs' majority.

*DEMS must contribute to DEMS, to defeat repugs' majority in Congress.

That was the only story I could find. Must be in a very conservative district.

Like the new Obama now, very very cheap 4 million, that is just the start.
