Anthony Weiner calls for support of Moneybomb Saturday for Alan Grayson
This email just arrived:


Dear xxxxx,

You know me. You know that I tell it like it is. Day in and day out, a few friends in the House join me to take the battle to the Republic Party, a party that is a “wholly-owned” subsidiary of the insurance industry.

This week, we won. And, now it’s time to stand with those who made that victory possible – the “Congressmen With Guts” who gave our party the strength we need to win the tough battles.

One Congressman – who was, incidentally, born in New York! – has stood with me time and time again. Now he needs our help. You probably know him. His name is Alan Grayson. He’s in a tough re-election fight, and he needs our help. He isn’t owned by the lobbyists and the insurance companies. They want him gone – because, like me, he’s a Congressman who stands up for ordinary people.

I’m supporting Rep. Grayson by contributing what I can to his online “money bomb” scheduled for this Saturday, March 27th. I’m asking you to contribute as well.

Will you join me by supporting a Congressman with Guts, with a contribution of $35, $50 or more to this critical March 27th money bomb?

Alan Grayson is a progressive hero. He called the Republicans out for their stubborn knownothingism. He laid bare the “Republican health care plan” last August, saying that their plan was for Americans not to get sick, and, if you do, then die quickly. That sums it up. He’s also leading the fight to audit the Fed, and pass crucial pieces of legislation to fix the disastrous Citizens United decision that will let corporations buy our elections. He’s keeping the public option alive, by introducing the Medicare You Can Buy Into Act. He already has 80 cosponsors for that in the House and 50,000 citizen co-sponsors online.

Alan Grayson is the first Democrat to represent Orlando in 34 years. He’s in the crosshairs of the insurance and Wall Street lobbyists. Please join me in supporting his March 27th money bomb. Pledge $35, $50 or more now at CongressmanWithGuts.com

Thanks,

Anthony

3. PayPal?
I would be happy to make a small donation from here in Texas if their pledge website took PayPal. That's all I use for online transactions. Do you know how to ask them to do that?

4. PayPal has a "SecureCard" option that will generate
a single use credit card number tied to your authorized funds for PayPal.

It's sort of a throw-away card number in lieu of a credit card. If you have a PayPal account, log into it and look around for it. It might or might not be something you might find useful for sites that don't offer PayPal and where you also don't wish to use a credit card, either.
