I just donated to Mark Pera to try to take out rightwing, corrupt Illinois Democrat Dan Lipinski

Has anyone else ponied up to defeat Lipinski? It felt GOOD.

Markos Moulitas (Daily Kos) says this:


"Part of the problem is 'Democrats' like Dan Lipinski that virtually caucus with the other side. Here's what the folks over at Down With Tyranny said about Lipinski, who sits in the safe, blue, 3rd District of Illinois, but is:

- anti-choice (has a 0% rating from Planned Parenthood and a 100% rating from the National Life to Right Committee)
- anti-stem cell research
- supported government intervention in the Terri Schaivo case
- supports a constitutional amendment against flag burning
- voted against a bill that would have set a withdrawal deadline in Iraq and voted for the Iraq war supplemental

As you read that list, you're probably wondering to yourself how Lipinski's even considered a Democrat. If you guessed that it's because he has the full support of Democratic leaders like Rahm Emanuel, or if you suspected that he had the backing of an out of touch local party, you're right. So Lipinki's constituents can't get their views represented, and have to keep sending a staunch conservative back to the Beltway, or get even worse. And we all know how good the Republicans are at being "even worse."

That's why I'm writing you today, to ask for your help, because you can put better Democrats in office. You can give to candidates who will answer to the public interest. You can give here to better Democrats who will knock corrupt Lieberdems like Lipinski out of office; www.actblue.com/page/bluemajority

Remember how satisfying it felt to knock Sen. Lieberman out of the Democratic party? I do. And I remember why. It was because we could see a future where we didn't have to beg Democrats to do the right thing. Where we could trust them to support the rule of law and oppose an unjust war. We could see a party dominated by people who shunned the cheap morality of the village gossip and embraced the timeless values of justice and liberty. People who were inspired by our founding documents, and would instinctively oppose the president, or anyone else, using the Constitution like toilet paper.

When you give to Mark Pera's campaign, you'll be making an investment in that future we saw together."

We need to send a message to these traitorous, so called "Democrats" that they are no longer free to pull this crap with us. Please donate even a few $$ if you can. Thank you ~ Oregonian

2. I definitely agree!

I love the Internet; it's so easy to find out about these races we who live in other places wouldn't have heard about in years past. It's so easy to spread the word and donate, as well. :hi:
