I know most of these posts are long and full of very interesting info but i prefer to keep things short and sweet...
On MSNBC Terry McCauliffe claims Hillary's campaign raised $10 million online since the polls closed in Pennsylvania. Obama's got to match that amount.. Donate now!
With the media all over Delay about his recent indictment what do you all think about us in the blog community raising some cash for former Congressman Nick Lampson who is running against Delay. Oh how nice it be with all this bad indictment coverage to have this huge rally of support around the man running against him. The press would eat that up. Even Netroots fav Richard Morrison, who ran against DeLay in 04, has endorsed Nick. I think this should be our first fundraising event here on DailyKos. Do you all agree? I have set up an Actblue page for Nick. Let's raise some cash and show everyone we are tired of Delay and want a change!
I am not sure if this has been posted yet but Actblue is expanding fundraising capacity to state executive and legislative candidates. I think this is such a great idea. I hope you all go to the Actblue site and check it out.

Rhode Island's two congressmen split on how they voted on the bill to give Terri Schiavo's parents the right to file suit in federal court over the withdrawal of food and medical treatment needed to sustain her life.
RHODE ISLAND
Democrats -- Kennedy, N; Langevin, Y.
It's likley Langevin will run against Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee. I have to say Langevin lost my vote. Our Secretary of State Matt Brown (D) is also running for for this same seat, he will get my vote and my money. I will place a call to Langevin's DC office to let him know how upset I am with him. If anyone else is interested in calling him here is his number...

I was on the Swing State Project website http://www.swingstateproject.com/ (found out about the site from the daily kos) and i believe they are doing an amazing job but, as for my state, our party doesn't have the man power or money to keep up a blog. Rhode Island didn't have a working state party website until last year, and all this talk about building stronger state democratic parties, why don't we "the Kos community" start a 50 State Party Fundraiser. We set it up as we did for the "Kos Dozen".
