Do You Ever Contribute To An Out-of-State Candidate?

[ThomWV]

Not for a Presidential Candidate, but do you ever contribute to Democrats or Independents who need help in states other than where you reside?

We do.

[madame defarge]

1. Ditto...like Hackett when he was running....n/t

[Adelante]

2. Yes

Two or three a month every month until November.

[eleny]

3. Yes - Ned Lamont just the other day

[Coexist]

4. Yeah - Busby, Hackett, Lamont

I liked them and wished them the best the only way that counted.

[CTyankee]

5. Yep. I gave to Hillary

I got a nice postcard with her picture on it (I tacked it up on my bulletin board at work) and just today I got another pitch for money with a "Re-elect Hillary" bumper sticker. I'm gonna put the bumper sticker right next to the postcard, just to piss off a few freepers who come to my office.

I have also given to Emily's list for use where the need is greatest.

[Nimrod2005]

6. Yes

[KingFlorez]

7. Yes

I gave to Majette when she ran in Georgia

[warrens]

8. Casey

I sent him some bucks a while back and will send more when the election draws nigh. In 2004, I gave to two Wisconsin dems. They both won.

[napi21]

9. Yep, I donated to Hackett in Oh. and I ;ive in Ga.

I don't have much $$, so I can't do as much as I would like eto, but if someone really impresses me, and they need $$, then I'll sure try to send them something!

[Stinky The Clown]

10. Yes. And I have several times proposed this as a DU effort

I have given to out of state candidates for Congress. For Blue State/Blue District DUers (and others) it is a worthwhile thing to do.

11. Please contribute now!!!

Stephanie Studebaker ( www.studebakerforcongress.com )is running against a Rubber Stamp Appropriations Committee member, (Mike Turner R.) in the 3rd District of Ohio.
This includes the county of Warren, that so happened to be the deciding factor for Bush in 04 .
This seat was held for over 20 years by Tony Hall Democrat, who was given the job of Ambassador of the Peace Corps, and the District was re-zoned to include Republican areas, leaving out the porrer and middle class areas affected by things that happen in the 3rd.

We are having a Fund Drive right now and need everyone's help!

Go to www.studebakerforcongress.com and hit the donate button!

We have a great person in STephanie to take back our seat!!

"Stephanie Studebaker is challenging GOP incumbent Michael Turner.
Some facts about Michael Turner and how tied up Rep. Turner is with the GOP Culture of Corruption...

Representative Turner has a very cozy relationship with the GOP Leadership.

* Turner received $15,000 from House Majority Leader John Boehner's "Freedom Project" PAC.
* Turner received $16,598 from GOP Whip Roy Blunt's "Rely on Your Beliefs" PAC.
* Turner voted with President Bush 90% of the time.
* Turner voted the GOP party line 94% of the time.

Why do you think Turner is just rubber stamping the Republican agenda?


How tied up is Representative Turner with the Tom DeLay/Jack Abramoff scandal? Turner has taken:

* $20,000 from Tom DeLay's ARMPAC.
* $1,000 from Bob Ney, the first congressman to be implicated based on the Jack Abramoff guilty plea.

With all of these ties to the DeLay/Abramoff mess, is it any surprise that Turner has:

* Voted to weaken House ethics rules when DeLay proposed doing so as GOP Majority Leader.
* Voted with Tom DeLay 94% of the time.

Is Representative Turner serving Ohio voters, or the Republican money machine?

[Raine]

12. Yes

I belong to Emily's List and have picked many from out of my state to donate money to. :patriot:

[DiverDave]

13. Sadly, No

I have to scrape up the 10 bucks to donate to DU when they ask...and that is not every time they ask.
I would if I could.

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Yes, I've told the DCCC that I will make the choices as to who deserves

support.

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. YES. Bryan Kennedy, running against Sensenbrenner, Ned Lamont

running against Lieberman, Carl Sheeler, RI running for the Senate, Paul Hackett when he was running, Charlie Rangel, Rep. George Miller of CA., Feingold and many of the Wes Clark Democrats during the election.

[Greybnk48]

16. Yes, John Conyers

One of my heros.

[RamboLiberal]

17. Yes - I try to pick one each payday

I contribute in my state to Bob Casey (against Santorum). And I try to contribute to candidates out of my district (my Dem is fairly safe) and out of state. Latest is Tammy Duckworth.

Can't afford much but figure every little bit helps.

[acmejack]

18. Often!

I want to get our People into Congress in the worst way. I haven't got much but this is important. If it is the difference between a pizza or a donation and a sandwich, well, it's a pretty small sacrifice to make, IMO.

[One_of_8]

19. Yes, I have

I've contributed to Paul Hackett's campaign, to John Conyers, and to Ned Lamont, to name a few. I've actually contributed more this year to out-of-state candidates than to any of my own state's representatives.
