Reply #20: Here is a bio of the person making the offer, she is a life long Kerry...

[Democat]

The first time that Deborah Rappaport worked for John Kerry, she was 14 years old and he was in his first political race, an unsuccessful attempt at Congress in 1972 in the Boston suburbs. She remembers knocking on doors and being crestfallen when he lost the primary.

Today, she's not knocking on doors, at least not literally. But she's using her money and media savvy to try to reach millions of young voters on Kerry's behalf.

She and her husband, Andy, a general partner at August Capital, a Menlo Park venture capital firm, have emerged as two of the most important Democratic donors locally for groups striving to put out issue ads to sway voters.

In this election cycle, the Rappaports have given at least $3 million to liberal-leaning groups and Democratic causes and candidates, according to records on Opensecrets.org.
