A gay hero needs our help

<snip>



While I love exposing hypocrites and am thrilled {Mike} Jones did what he did, his actions had nothing to do with the Democrats taking Congress. To find the start of the Republican decline one need look no further than the date that Lane Hudson posted the first set of Mark Foley emails on his blog, Sunday, September 24.

Unlike Jones, Hudson has no income, no book deal, and no job. I believe Lane deserves -- and I know he needs -- our help; I hope you agree. I hope you'll consider clicking here to send Lane a few bucks so he can maintain his apartment through the holidays. When you sit down and think of how grateful you are that the homophobes have been tossed out, toss a little gratefulness toward Lane -- he's responsible for a lot of holiday cheer out there.

If you need proof, take a look at the gambling and odds tracking sites. There are no better predictors of political winds and up until the day that Lane posted the emails the GOP had been enjoying a slow, yet steady, rise in the polls.

Before he was exposed as the blogger who posted the emails, Hudson did not seek the spotlight and went to great lengths to maintain his anonymity. His one misstep, sending a personal email while connected to his employer's network, cost him his job and Lane is still unemployed. (Lane has far too much class than to condemn the organization he worked for...the problem here is that no one else on the left is stepping up to help him.)

6. Can someone hook him up with a job?

[Heywood J]

8. That seems a far better idea than

donating a few bucks at a time. Where is this guy located? We'd just need to know someone who owns a business or does HR.

[Athelwulf]

7. I must donate as soon as I get my next paycheck.

He definitely deserves this helping hand for the help he's given to the Democrats nationwide.

Does anyone know how much he's been given so far?

9. Mike Jones did have something to do with the Dems taking congress

Don't sell Mike short just so you can raise money.

11. I agree. Mike Jones is my favorite meth-dealing hooker in the whole world.

He has restored my faith in the Hooker With A Heart Of Gold.

Mike Jones should have been the Time Magazine Man of The Year.

14. Nobody said he was a saint

But There's no doubt he had a part in the Dems taking congress. I think he does have a good heart. I live 4 block away from Mike and see him quite frequently. As far as being a meth dealer, that has yet to be proven. He got meth for one john, doesn't mean he get's it for all of them. "Do you hate him, cause he's pieces of you?"

15. Give Mike my thanks for me? He seriously DOES rock! n/t

[roody]

10. For whom did he work?

[BadGimp]

12. $25 just got added to the fund

This is ALL about good will.

And it makes me proud to be an American to participate.

13. Excellent call, Ian. Will do.
