4. "You lie!" is Wilson's "Macaca" moment. And it's gonna cost him.

:woohoo:

7. I wish more of them would have such outbursts if it gets us mobilized

to donate and knock them out of office. They're gonna be the death of themselves. Hee hee

[csziggy]

5. Maybe we should encourage more Repubs to be obnoxious to the President!

This week the Repubs have lost any ground they gained in August. With their overblown rhetoric about the school speech and this breach of behavior by Wilson, they will be lucky to get any moderates in their camp. I just hope this idiocy on their part continues through the election next fall!

16. Check out Rob Miller's info on wikipedia - Impressive man here!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Miller_(South_Carolina_politician)

Robert Lauransom 'Rob' Miller was the Democratic nominee for the United States House of Representatives from South Carolina's 2nd congressional district in 2008. He will also be running for Congress in 2010. He challenged and will be challenging again Republican incumbent Joe Wilson.

Miller served 13 years in the United States Marine Corps, including two tours of duty in the Iraq War.<1>

Though South Carolina is heavily Republican, national Democratic Party officials expressed optimism that Miller could compete for the seat, in part based on expected high turnout of supporters of Barack Obama.<2> In the days leading up to the election, Miller's campaign attracted the interest of top Democrats, and House Majority Whip James Clyburn, also of South Carolina, campaigned for Miller.<3> As of October 23, 2008, Miller had raised about $500,000, approximately half as much as Wilson.<4>

In the November 4 election, Wilson was reelected after Miller gained 46.4 percent of the vote.<5>

On September 9, 2009, Representative Wilson shouted "You lie!" at President Obama during his speech to a joint session of Congress.<6> Within hours Miller received hundreds of thousands of dollars in online donations for his 2010 campaign against Wilson according to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

25. what i just got from act blue

Today the nation watched you raise $400,000 in one day to help show Republican Congressman Joe Wilson the door. Rep. Wilson made waves last night by heckling President Obama, shouting, "you lie!" in the middle of the President's address to Congress.

Starting at 9:30 last night, you stepped up to say you wouldn't tolerate that sort of disgraceful, boorish behavior in our nation's capitol. For almost 3 hours this morning, you were raising $1,000 a minute for Democrat Rob Miller, Wilson's opponent in 2010. And by mid-afternoon today, you'd hung a $200,000 pricetag on each word of Rep. Wilson's outburst.

The momentum is still building. CNN, the Washington Post and the Nation noticed your efforts, and are reporting them to an even larger audience. As of this email, 10,000 of you have raised more for Rob Miller than the entire pharmaceutical industry gave to Rep. Wilson last cycle. That's real grassroots fundraising.

It wouldn't be possible without ActBlue, and a $15 recurring donation is all it takes to make sure we're there the next time a Republican does something stupid.

Good ideas depend on us, and we depend on you.

From all of us at ActBlue, thanks.
