It's very important to donate as quarters end as fundraising results hits the news. The better each campaign does, their  legitimacy and viability improves, which makes for more money they can raise in the future!

See the three I chose to send money to after the jump and please add your own:

It's a special issue that you try especially hard to not spill coffee and get foody finger smudges on. My comments are in brackets [].

[With their typical brashness, they start off with the 7 words you can't say on television! Yes, you know the ones:]

Read them in print after the jump:

Please excuse the informality.  Just want to get some information out there to those who may act and use it!  I hope all of you do!

Many of us have a few days off for a holiday.  Let's take 30 minutes and send some notes.  We're talking a lot, but we need to be acting.  If he's confirmed we will all go "Oh darn, I thought we had it."  How 'bout we be continue to be proactive during this week they are on vacation, and let them come back to piles of correspondence, information, and okay, outrage!

May be a good one to email around to your media contacts and ask them why they are not covering this story.

Quoting from press release:

A new Media Matters for America (MMFA) analysis finds that in 2004, media coverage of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's baseless attacks on John Kerry's war record has been more than twice that of the coverage of the controversy over George W. Bush's service in the Alabama National Guard:

Both current major-party presidential candidates served their country during Vietnam. Both candidates' service has been questioned.

The similarities end there.

Oh sure, it's nice and all that he has decided his own gay daughter deserves to be treated like a U.S. citizen.  But, in dishonoring this crucial tenet of his Republican party, he single handedly, in one rally, disenfranchised tens of thousands of bigots and homophobes.  

Who can they vote for now?  What will they do?  And, now is a fine time to tell them, after they worked hard getting out the vote and contributed hard earned dollars to the party!

It's not right and it's not fair!  

We inclusive, tolerant, loving, and U.S. Constitution respecting people have a party.  We have John Kerry and John Edwards and the Democrats who fight for our rights -- workers' rights, women's rights, civil rights, (civil liberties, too) gay rights, voting rights, reproductive rights, all those and more rights.

The other people deserve their party too!

I call on Dick Cheney to un-denounce the Federal Marriage Amendment and get back with the Republican program!!  

Give Bigots for Bush back their party!

Swift boatload of lies

Good morning.  

Thank you for your coverage of this boatload.  

I recall some of the national papers and networks doing debriefings after the Iraq war and WMD issues.  In retrospect they said "maybe we should have investigated."  "Maybe we should have covered it differently."  "Maybe we were wrong."

I would like you to remember the following facts as you continue to cover this story.

Spend the weekend doing your part to fight back for Kerry!  If necessary, take a day off, call in sick, be late, but do it!

I try to think of myself as typical, or an average voter, or at least put myself in their shoes. And, I know I don't read a lot of the pro-Bush columnists, yet I read the positive Kerry stuff because I am already for Kerry, and it makes me happy.

But, I do read letters, whether in the NYT, the local paper, or Newsweek.

Are they trying to determine if it is crazy latte drinking, New York Times-reading, body-piercing liberals who are for Kerry?

When I got to "What is your astrological sign," I went back to the email to make sure I hadn't fallen for a scam.  It's real.

"Anyone who tells you one party has a monopoly on the defense of our nation is committing a fraud on the American people."

I did an archive search and didn't come up with anything for Dave Thomas, a great Democratic candidate for Congress in the 7th District, Colorado.

He is running against the incumbent, Bush Rubber Stamp, and co-sponsor of the Federal Marriage Amendment, Bob Beauprez.  Bob Beauprez is unfortunately who I have to represent me, and I know I am trying to use pity for fundraising. :( I am doing all I can to make sure that sorry state of affairs ends in November.  I want real representation of my voice!
