My soul for an editing function. "Contribute".

When I get mail from any of those acrimonious acronyms I sent back the envelope with hate mail railing away about Roberts, Alito, Feinstein, Mukasey, Schumer, etc.

Lately I've been starting by saying I'm a fan of Dean and the 50 state strategy before launching into a diatribe about how Chuck Schumer should be drawn and quartered for getting all those photo-op soundbytes lacerating Gonzales only to make a sleazeball backroom deal to replace him with someone much worse.

I guess Schumer is DSCC not DNC, but I want DNC to get the idea that they're being punished as well for Schumer, Rahm, Feinstein, Salazar and the rest of those DINO bastards.

Three cheers that Dean, Obama and DNC showed leadership in a new direction. I will dig deeper, and if satisfied there's no and, but or if, I'll be sending a check as an Independent.

Here's hoping this really means something about the direction Democratic policy is headed and is more than just a short-term play for image-advantage against McCain and Republicans in the upcoming election.

This will be even more meaningful, if after the election, Obama and Dean lead voters and the Congress to carve in legal stone that the tragedy of the special-interest-commons will not continue to play out to its bitter end here in the United States.

What a real change Obama and Dean will have delivered if we no longer have to watch American "leaders" cower to donors who subjugate them to do things that are not in the best interests of this country! Perhaps Obama and Dean see that such stupidity is a lose-lose and it not only reduces the strength of the country and their status as leaders, it's unnecessary.

I will jump for joy if this is the beginning of some brilliant, home-run strategy that soars right over the heads of any delinquents that have been lurking in and about our Congress for far too long.

Check this out - we need to move from Hillary to John (why "Barak"and "Hillary", but never "John"?)now....

OK, I've given before and I'll give again. I also try to remember the DCCC and the DSCC. After all, the House and Senate members are most directly vulnerable to lobbyists. We say they shouldn't take the money, but up until now, we haven't given them another source. If a lot of people gave $25 to each, it would go a long way. Pelosi is a magician about where to spend the bucks to empower her democratic House seats and Reid's no slouch either. Like any party, we sometimes end up with democratic reps and senators who aren't ideal, but if they vote with the party (which they darn well better or no committees or re-election) they're still better then the republicans. The repubs have stuck together to an unprecedented degree in the past months in their successful efforts to prevent any useful work being done. With the Senate divided 50/50, Lieberman's independent vote that caucuses with us makes the difference. That's why we put up with his shenanigans. He's voted with the dems on everything except the war and he's been needed. But boy oh boy, it sure will be nice if we can pick up some extra senate seats this time. If we could experience magic and get 60, we'd be fillibuster free!

Like I did with the Dean Machine in 2004, I'll click the $10 a month button for the DNC for now, then add another $25 every now and then to the Obama campaign, as the requests warrant it.

The DNC's 50-State Strategy is at the core of our potential 50-State Landslide (thank you, Rush for blurting that one out in one of your dopey arguments.) With all the recent news about Bush and Cheney lying through their teeth about war intel, this will be a hard year for the R's, in every quarter.

Also, looks like I'm going to have to pony up another $25 to the DCCC because I promised to do so once the nominee was picked and finalized. That comes from limited resources, hopefully my mites will encourage the other 1,499,999 Obama contributors who are also helping to put the upper class Bush base to shame.

Gonna be a busy day online.

I just donated to the DNC, and will continue to do so as much as possible (along with donating to Obama).

I was waiting to make a donation until Hillary conceded -- just to be sure she wasn't going to take it to the convention.

She gave a beautiful and unifying speech today, and I applaud her. Bravo Hillary!

GOBAMA!!!!

I hope you'll rethink your position on the DNC. It's a new day and the DNC is officially under new rule -- Barack Obama. He's trying to clean things up and curtail the lobbyist's influence, but he can't do it without our help.

Just give it some thought.
