Make the politicians earn your money.

That's how the corporations do it.

7. No. Send it to a real Democrat or two, and the rest to charities.
People are suffering out there.

10. Sure contribute to Obama if you believe in him.
I'd rather you didn't the DNC until they stop supporting DLC Republican Lite candidates like Max Baucus.

11. Send it to these progressive primary challengers instead
Edited on Tue Dec-15-09 01:46 PM by liskddksil
Jennifer Brunner, is Secretary of State in Ohio, and much more progressive then the establishment backed Lee Fisher, in the race for Ohio's senate seat.

http://www.jenniferbrunner.com /

Rhode Island State Representative Betsy Dennigan, who is progressive and pro-choice, is running in a primary against current Rep. James Langevin, who voted for the Stupak amendment.

http://betsydenniganforcongress.com/?page_id=10

Andrew Romanoff is the former Colorado House Majority Leader, who has bucked the establishment and even the President to run a primary against Michael Bennet, who voted against the Cram-down legislation, and until very recently was not generally supportive of the public option.

Doug Tudor is a progressive Democrat running in the primary against self-proclaimed "blue-dog" Lori Edwards in Florida's 12 Congressional District.

Bloomington Resident D'Ippolito is running against Evan Bayh.
http://www.tamyraforsenate.com /

Joe Sestak running against Republican turned Democrat Arlen Spector.

Marcy Winograd running against DLC Rep. Jane Harman in California.

Regina Thomas running against blue-dog John Barrow in Georgia. No website yet.

Also keep an eye on Lt. Gov. of Arkansas Bill Halter, who many believe could run against Sen. Lincoln.

20. If you choose to donate
send it to a true progressive, someone, at least, that you feel is. I am sure you can still find one out there.

21. Contribute to your local candidates directly (if they are worthy)
Or to Democracy For America (DFA - founded by Howard Dean, and currently led by his brother Jim).

Or Progressive Democrats of America (PDA)
