Defeat Eric Cantor! Donate to Wayne Powell TODAY and mopinko will match it. **DOUBLE YOUR DONATION**

I think some DUers didn't see this thread by mopinko. She is going to match up to $500 in donations to the Wayne Powell for Congress campaign. It would be a shame if we didn't take advantage of this opportunity and ended up leaving some money on the table that could help defeat Eric Cantor.

ok du- let's defeat eric cantor. whaddya say?

i will match up to $500 in du donations to wayne powell, cantor's opponent.
let's put some money where our mouth is now.
they set up a sourced link so that donations can be tracked.
i'll give you 24 hours.
starting right now.
if you can't afford to give, please knr.

We've got until 4:52 pm ET today -- less than 8 hours from now. Click the link and DONATE RIGHT NOW!

I made my donation. Now it's your turn.

And when you're done, give this thread a kick and a rec!

Just imagine replacing Cantor with Powell, it would feel like a new day in Spring, in an open meadow, with birds singing and the view would go on for miles and no black cloud of Cantor in sight or mind.

Cantor is actually kind of scary.

Thanks for the opportunity to do something other than have gross irrational feelings of utter contempt for this flesh puppet of the Oligarchy.

I'm retired and on social security, which means I count every penny these days, but I really want Cantor gone.

The meat of what we have is: 43 percent want to replace Cantor and it's a real horserace when they hear about Wayne. I can tell you from the response we are getting at events throughout the district that Wayne could very well be the favorite before very long.
