Campaign Quarter Ends 31 December

Now is the time to give a donation to Andrew Horne for the U.S. Senate! Despite our strained finances (a major piece of furniture broke that we need to replace soon!), I plan to ask my wife/bookkeeper if we can't send $25. All of you do the same--or more if you aren't dealing with unexpected expenses. Also, that is the deadline for contributing to your favorite Democratic presidential candidate (among the possible winners, I'm still undecided between Obama and Edwards; I contribute to Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) in hopes that he can push the platform in a more progressive direction--perhaps getting the nominee to adopt truly universal, single-payer, not-for-profit healthcare (Medicare for everyone) or maybe getting the nominee to support his excellent Department of Peace idea). It's also the deadline for contributing to charities (I listed some of ours in an earlier post) and getting to deduct it on your taxes this April!

So donate, already--beginning with the Horne campaign. We will not Ditch Mitch "the Obstructor" McConnell, with all his millions, unless ordinary people donate to the Horne campaign. (Of course, if some wealthy progressives like the Bingham family, the Gheens family, the Paul Patton family, etc., want to contribute and fundraise for Andrew, I'm sure he'd appreciate that, too! But we can't wait for wealthy progressives--It's up to us, folks!
