Thanks to Marcos for nagging about the $10 contributions. I'm Nancy Skinner, the Democratic candidate from Michigan's 09th CD and had the opportunity to meet Markos and Jerome in Las Vegas at Yearly Kos. (That should be worth a $10 donation, that I flew cross country to work with the progressive netroots community). I also hired Joe Trippi as a result of Yearly Kos.
Anyway, Markos is right about small donations. I'm in a 50/50 district in suburban Detroit which is struggling mightily due to the auto industry (7.2% unemployment). I've called for the repeal of $6 billion in oil company subsidies that will be redirected to expedite the production of fuel-efficient vehicles in Detroit.
I also lost by a nose in DFA's Grass Roots All-Star and have just learned that I need 100 votes to finish in the top 5 of Governor Warner's Mapchangers. www.forwardtogetherpac.com/mapchangers
It would certainly be great if you could help us win this vote and donate $10 at wwww.skinnerforcongress.com.
I promise that if you help elect me, CSPAN will get a lot more interesting.
