Small dollars add up

I have rarely, if ever, given money to candidates who I could not directly vote for. Part of the genius of the Obama campaign is to convince me and many others that even a small donation can matter. And with the prospect of sweeping real change into Washington, I've carried that sensibility to supporting progressive candidates and causes outside my voting area. that has been made easy by the internet. I've given donations of $10-15 in the belief that hundreds and thousands of others are adding their dollars to mine.

Today is the last day that any donations really matter. So please go the extra mile. As kos says, leave everything on the road. Visit Orange to Blue and choose the candidates or issues of your choice. Or give a little to each. Here's a list of where my dollars have gone:

• Obama for America
• Yes on N (Palo Alto Libraries)
• Equality for All/No on 8 (protect equal right to marriage)
• Alyce Kryzan (NY-26) (my old home district)
  
• Bob Lord (AZ-03)
• Gary Trauner (WY-01)
• Judy Baker (MO-09)
• Mark Begich (AK-Sen) (defeat the felon!)
  
• Darcy Burner (WA-08)
• Charlie Brown (CA-04)
• Al Franken (MN-Sen)
• Dan Seals (IL-10)
• Dennis Shulman (NJ-05)
• Eric Massa (NY-29)
• Jim Martin (GA-Sen) (running against the despicable Saxby Chambliss)
  
• Rick Noriega (TX-Sen)
• Kay Hagen (NC-Sen) (after Elizabeth Dole's Godless ad)
• Elwyn Tinklenberg (MN-06) (to defeat hater Michelle Bachmann)
  

Dig deep!!!
