Another plug from me for you all to like NH Rep. Timothy Smith on Facebook.

For a change, I am not asking you to donate. But I am asking you to like his endorsement of Bernie and his other posts on his facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10152974957721548&id=235121411547&comment_id=10152977878081548&offset=0&total_comments=569


Smither endorsed Sanders despite heavy pressure to endorse another candidate. (Hint: That other candidate was not Chafee.)

As a result, he got likes and responses from many Berners asking to donate to him, campaign for him, etc. Originally, he said he does not do any of that in off years, but catch up with next year. Berners persisted anyway. So, he put up his Act Blue.

He is planning to campaign for Bernie in NH. He thinks liking his page will show other politicians that it is safe -- perhaps safer -- to endorse Bernie than to succumb to pressure.

Come on, Berners. Please do this for a good guy and a good reason.

And, as he said, some of his colleagues might see the support he is getting and see that endorsing Sanders may not be as dangerous to their careers as it may seem.

After I posted an encouraging reply to his endorsement, he sent me an email thanking me for my kind words!
