I will certainly donate. I just watched his interview on Alex's show and he will be an excellent advocate for positive change in whatever he chooses to take on. He has excellent communication skills and a great presence. Perhaps his new job will allow him to continue to have a public presence. I certainly hope so.

The sky's the limit for him. He's young, now well-known. He might even be a future Prez. He could be the one who finally unwinds all the damage done by Reagan. You never know.

He mentioned last night on Lawrence O'Donnell's show that a strange sedan was parked outside of his house after the Ed Schultz interview.

It took a lot of courage to release the video, and even more to finally expose himself to the world. He knew he would be attacked. Of course, the right won't admit that if Rmoney hadn't been lying to the American people about his positions, this never would have happened.

I hope Mr. Prouty has a long and prosperous life, and he has my gratitude for being an upstanding American citizen, who did what he did for the greater good of all, and was willing to sacrifice his comfort and security (and that of friends and family) to do it.

Very few people today are willing to show such courage. They will stand up, but only until it requires them to give up something, then they often back down.

I forget which org, I think it has something to do with income inequality. He seems to have good media presence and potential as an advocate. Good for him for taking advantage of his opportunity - I wish him well.
