Connie Saltonstall (Bart Stupak's primary challenger) has her ActBlue page up.
Edited on Wed Mar-10-10 05:03 PM by Kber
Connie Saltonstall declared her candidacy in the Democratic Primary, challenging Bart Stupak.

She has received an overwhelming response, with one of the first questions people are asking is "Where do I send my money?"

There has been some confusion about the right ActBlue link and as soon as I get it sorted out, I will post - stay tuned!

Update:

OK - I actually contacted Connie's campaign manager to verify the link to Connie's ActBlue Page and it is...

https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/conniesaltonstall

Turns out that someone grabbed Connie's name earlier today and was raising money for her, but without coordinating with the campaign. They have sorted it out now and all money contributed will to to Connie's election bid.

Also, her campaign page is still under construction, but you can find some basic information about Connie's background here:
http://conniesaltonstall.com/index.html

When I have more information, I will post.

4. Or, you could drive a truck around with an aborted fetus on the side
Pretty much the same thing.

3. THANK YOU
As soon as I can do it directly, I'll contribute. Got it bookmarked.

My pockets aren't deep ones, but I'm putting my money where my mouth is, on primary challengers to every single blue dog piece of shit out there.

Stupak's got to go. He won't, considering the nature of his district, but it won't be for lack of a contribution on my part.

5. Does anybody know anything about her?
Edited on Wed Mar-10-10 04:42 PM by WatchWhatISay
Being opposed the bart is a good start.

I'm hoping it is not her only redeeming value.

Is she likely to be less conservative than stupak? If so, I would donate money to her as a thankyou for running against him.

6. Other then the abortion issue, I don't think there's much of a difference.
Edited on Wed Mar-10-10 05:07 PM by Kaleva
Stupak has been endorsed by many unions over the years, opposed NAFTA and the Iraq War, is against use of the death penalty, and has a stellar record on environmental issues especially regarding the Great Lakes.

Connie Saltonstall has said she has supported Stupak for 20 years and her complaint about Stupak's stand on abortion is she is saying he is using it to hold up and threaten the passage of the health care bill currently before the House.
