OK...we did Chandler...now it is time for Herseth!!!

[Nazgul35]

In the wake of our victory in a repug leaning district in a repug leaning state (Chandler won by 12%!!!!), the repugs are marshalling their forces to prevent the next special election for going the donkey's way and send a signal that the electorate is trending Dem...

This special House election is important on several levels!!!

1) Winning this seat in another repug stronghold will help to further the image that voters are tunring to the Democrats!!!

2) It will reduce the repugs lead in the House by another vote...

3) It will boost the reelection chances of Senator Daschle...yes, I know everyone here hates Daschle but the safer we make his seat, the more money we can spend elsewhere....like in the south for instance! Anytime we can improve the chances for the Party in one election, we can marshal our resources in other areas....besides, Daschle will not be the Minority leader after the election, the writing is on the wall...)

If we could get just 10,000 DUers to make a one time donation of $20, we could raise $200,000 dollars for Herseth....and considering that the repug facing her just went to Wash. and collected $300,000 from the repug power structure, this would scare the shit out of the republicans.....

It is important to know that we can raise the cash necessary to allow our elected officials to compete with the repugs...and when we raise dollar for dollar with them.....WE WIN!!!

Imagine, Democratic members of the House who owe nothing t special interests or the Party leadership.....who would they owe? The People?

Please go here to drop some coin her way and put another dagger in Delay's fat bulbus white ass!!!!!!!!!

1. Chandler is a good sign for us

I forgot to say... :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[GainesT1958]

2. The good news here is...

Stephanie Herseth (currently) has a WIDE lead over her Repub opponent...

BUT...we need to show major blogosphere support to help her to KEEP HER MESSAGE OUT THERE, and maintain that lead!

I think she's going to win that one, but she still needs our help!

:kick:

B-)

[West Coast Democrat]

11. Who is she running against?

just wondering

[mndemocrat_29]

13. State Sen. Larry Diedrich

[OKNancy]

3. I went to her site and I hate to say this

but she just looks really cute and smart. I'll read more about her positions and all that, and I'll give her some money...but she is just a cutie....sorry.

[King of New Orleans]

8. She is just adorable looking

Her bio reads like a Bill Clinton bio, and I mean that in a good way, she's quite the achiever. She did run against Janklow in 2002 and put up a more than respectable showing.

I'm not sure how much money will matter in this race (doesn't mean you shouldn't kick in a few bucks if you can) . South Dakota has a pretty stable population and isn't big. Politics is more neighbor to neighbor.

[lancdem]

9. Yes, she's a summa cum laude grad of Georgetown

:thumbsup:

[NewYorkerfromMass]

15. Yep!

[damnyankee2601]

4. Consider it done.

I am resolved to give money to any progressive who asks me this year. In the past, I felt I couldn't afford it. I can no longer afford not to. Nor can anyone else in this country.

[Nazgul35]

5. I forgot to add...

the election is June 1st....

And yes she is a cutie!!!!!!

[Nashyra]

6. OK done

$25.00 for her

[OKNancy]

7. $25.00

Status of your contribution is APPROVED!!

[OKNancy]

10. Kick

for a worhty cause

[West Coast Democrat]

12. I saw her campaigning on CSPAN back in 2002

She was very likeable and well-spoken. It's hard to believe she lost that race. She should have an excellent shot this time around.

[Adelante]

14. Wes Clark Dems

Don't forget:

.04 in the amount

and

Wes Clark Democrats in the occupation

I'll be doing my donating on the first of the month! :)

Thanks, Nazgul35, for posting this. :thumbsup: It's all so important.

[Nazgul35]

16. if we all realize what we can do

we'll kick some repug butt!!!!!

I think we should also consider some volunteer force for the weekend prior and GOTV activities...

[Adelante]

21. Right you are

This supporting Congressional candidates is one of the best things we can be doing. I thank the internet, I truly do. Everything becomes so possible when we all are organized and working together.

[calimary]

51. This is just an all-around good idea, anyway. Next target: Musgrave!

It would be lovely to send Colorado republi-CON Marilyn Musgrave and her discriminatory, smug, holier-than-thou, polygamy-fixated mug back to Colorado to stay! It would be truly lovely poetic justice to see her repudiated in November. Prissy little Nosey-body, she. Another bedroom bigot.

[OKNancy]

18. Darn it.....

I didn't do that. Oh well....

[Adelante]

20. Me, neither

The other day :dunce:

Oh well, too.

[BootinUp]

23. Look at the bottom of the website - .04 is for Hamster readers

Oops

:P

[Adelante]

24. Oh, no, we been robbed!!

Time for a drink, Jim4. :beer:

[BootinUp]

25. This year is

bound to get better Jersey... :hi:

:beer:

[tameszu]

53. Better donate again, then

B-)

By the way, I'm glad some women said it first, but she's got the cute/smart/progressive thing totally covered--go Stephanie!

Wonder if she'll also maybe make SD's 3 EV competitive...every little bit helps...

[Renew Deal]

17. $20

Thank you, HARRY for your generous contribution!

Status of your contribution is APPROVED!!

:kick: :kick:

[11cents]

19. Dangit!

Didn't know I was supposed to add .04 for Wes.

Well I'll just have to donate a little more then.

This is great!

[Adelante]

22. I like your style

:D

[Nazgul35]

26. kick

for more cash and attention...

:evilgrin:

Spank DeLay's white bulbus ass....

[TakebackAmerica]

27. Very elegant!

Extremly smart, and very hot. :evilgrin:

"Herseth attended Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. In addition to being named one of Georgetown's five most outstanding seniors, Herseth graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. in Government and received the Justice Edmund Douglas White Medal for outstanding service to her community. Herseth next graduated with honors from the Georgetown University Law Center and was a senior editor of the law review."....From her website

[Nazgul35]

28. And her policy positions reads like

the progressive's bible....

She is a very great up and coming Dem and we should start her out right...not beholden to any special interest by the people of SD!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus there's the added advantage of beating the repugs again....making the media think the whole repug party's in trouble...

than sit back and watch the "cockroaches" scramble to get away from Preznit...they want no turkie...

:evilgrin:

[kayleybeth]

29. Done!

Thank you, ___________ for your generous contribution!
Status of your contribution is APPROVED!!

With .04 added for Wes Clark Democrats!

[Nazgul35]

32. feels good doesn't it!!!!

I think we Deanies and the Clarkies shoudl arrange a little SD road trip at the end of May....

Do a little volunteering and GOTV....give another Dem a double digit win over a repuke!!!!!!!


Who's up for it.....ROAD TRIPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!

:party:

[kayleybeth]

40. If I was single and childless I would SO take a road trip to SD but...

as much as I'd love to go, my kids need me here. Maybe some single DUers can take you up on the road trip.

30. $25.00

Gave $25.00 to Chandler - hoping to go 2 for 2.

[Renew Deal]

31. DU is now linked off her site. Add $.38

[Nazgul35]

33. WoooHooo! Way to go Skinner!!!!!!!!!

:evilgrin:

Tommy boys glowing white ass in sight....foot cocked and loaded!!!!!!!!!!

[Nazgul35]

34. kick...keep this up here folks

unless one of the mods would pin it at the top....or at least start a thread with all the info included...

If someone is so inclined, would they start one in GD as well? The more people who see this, the more money we can raise.....

and let them know about the new DU add on so she knows it is us!!!

[adamrsilva]

35. Smart, nice-looking, ran last time

I think we are gonna win this one too. Winning two special elections in a row is sure to make Tommy Boy sad!

[CalProf]

36. Just sent 25 bucks. n/t

[kayleybeth]

37. KICK!

[TheDonkey]

38. Good luck to her campaign.

That would be an excellent victory for us.

[demgrrrll]

39. I sent 25 dollars. Money well spent. I will follow this race with

great anticipation.

[aldian159]

41. Will she have to run for re-election in November?

[Nazgul35]

45. yes...

but running as an incumbent and if she crushes the opposition, the repugs would be in disarray....just like they are in KY now...

Plus, the environment would be one of "the Republicans are suffering backlash at the polls..." and we all know how self fulfilling the media echo box can be...

[ronzo]

42. I threw in a couple of saw bucks.

:kick:

[DannyRed]

43. A kick

Herseth is cool.

I cannot afford to give right now, but I will be able to in June...

But I can kick the topic to the top, where it deserves to be.

[Nazgul35]

44. kick

for giving

[flpoljunkie]

46. Consider it already done. Let's take back Congress in November!

[chocolateeater]

47. Kick for Congress!!!!

:bounce: :kick: :bounce:

[Nazgul35]

48. did you just kick this thread?

:evilgrin:

[Nazgul35]

49. I guess I did...

woops

[chocolateeater]

56. Yep. And i'll do it again too. n/t

[Spirochete]

50. Is this the seat

formerly held by that asshole who runs stop signs and kills people?

[kayleybeth]

52. Yep

That'd be him!

[LoverOfLiberty]

54. Herseth supports the hate amendment

It is being reported that Herseth is for the hate amendment. I realize that she is from a conservative state, but both Daschle and Johnson have formulated opinions that she could stand behind.

Sorry, but I won't be sending any money to her this time around.

http://www.rapidcityjournal.com/articles/2004/02/25/news/state/top/state01.txt

[aldian159]

55. yep

good catch

[Nazgul35]

57. I have emailed the campaign....

I will keep you posted if I get a response...

I would encourage others to do so as well, especially those who have given money....let them know that we will not tolerate such stupid ass postering in the Party anymore....

No more wishy-washy candidates!!!
