I'm just hoping that we get a good DUer win sometime this year a big jackpot, and that this person can see the value to putting a big chunk in to progressive media outlets like FSTV or the like. We all have limits as to how much we can put in political campaigns, but if we invested in good progressive media sources that are so underfunded now, perhaps we could help have a good informed electorate before November when it counts to have an electorate make a good decision on this critical election!
