Fire Issa Hire Peiser donations map

http://fireissa.com/fire-darrell-issa-donations-map/

Good people from all but 12 states have sent Dave Peiser donations, and Dave has expressed his gratitude right here on DU today in the California Group. Issa is not just a California embarrassment, he's a national disgrace. CA District 49 deserves better, but Dave needs help!

This is an emotional race. Would it be great to get rid of someone like Issa? Yes. Is it going to happen? No. Peiser's 3rd quarter FEC filing had cash on hand of $12,725. That's just not enough funding to be competitive. Every rating and forecasting site has this as a "Safe Republican" seat. Yes, you might feel good by contributing, but the dollars you give him are dollars that could have gone to an equally deserving candidate in a far more competitive district. Add to that, there is no chance we'll take the House back (even the head of the DCCC won't claim we can), while the Senate is still in play.

Issa had a 32-point lead coming out of the primary in June. I believe narrowing that gap can show our largely without-hope younger voters that it is possible in 2016. This may not be a winner, but it is important.

Now who needs a yard sign? Dave stopped by the other day and I've got 'em. I'm in San Clemente. PM me.
