Psst. There's a MONEYBOMB going on!
Over $20K in the past hour.

Watch it here: http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/19079

Repost from GD:

Meet Rob Miller, Joe Wilson's Democratic challenger for 2010.


http://www.robmillerforcongress.com/wordpress /

Be patient with his site, it seems to be suffering from some capacity issues.


Here's his Facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=23672960944


And ActBlue? Why yes, of course!

http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/19079

Let's make Joe Wilson's disrespect for our country and our President a very costly one!

Edited to add another ActBlue page. Rob Wilson just raised $3000 in 20 minutes!!

MONEYBOMB!!

8. He screwed up badly.
Wilson's the top trending topic on Twitter. Only the second time I've seen a political event score that spot.

15. Way to go!
Seriously, I was reading about this guy. Hey almost beat Wilson last election. He's a 13 year Marine vet. And with what Sanford is doing to the Republican party down there....I think he's got a legitimate chance!

Edited on Wed Sep-09-09 10:29 PM by TTUBatfan2008
but he's from South Carolina. His partisan, rude, dare I say racist buffoonery tonight is exactly what his constituents want. He probably guaranteed himself re-election.

25. He gets less of a percentage of the vote every year...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Wilson_(U.S._politician)#Electoral_history

It doesn't hurt to try, especially with everything the GOP is going through in SC with Sanford.

13. Tinklenberg? Over $1 million.
Unfortunately, he didn't beat Bachmann. Came too late in the campaign.

Next time, though.

19. Indeed he is. He is a 13 year Marine veteran, has already run against Wilson...
...and has Sanford systematically dismantling the GOP in his state.

Now this! Now the money!

Methinks he has a chance.

It's my first contribution to Rob, but it certainly won't be my last. Thanks for posting this.

30. ActBlue reported on Twitter that it was taken down...
Due to the volume.

RT: @a_nadir RT: @blogswarm: www.robmillerforcongress.com site down. Too many supporters. Just contribute here instead: http://bit.ly/2I8rj
about 1 hour ago from TwitterFox

On the other hand, Wilson's House website was down too, and not from an outpouring of support.

:rofl:

45. This is a great way to handle this. Addison-Joe apologized, and Obama accepted.
Edited on Thu Sep-10-09 01:54 PM by gauguin57
We should never forget this incident. But now it's the House that needs to decide a punishment for his flouting of the rules of congressional order. Congress will decide what's gonna happen to this bad little boy ... and from the look on Nancy Pelosi's face last night, it ain't gonna be pretty ...

His office won't even take everyone's calls ... so maybe the best use of everyone's time is helping get his opponent elected!
