Support Howard Dean as DNC Chair
Not "for" DNC chair, "as." He's been elected, and he has his work cut out for him. Markos says:
Remember, the GOP will unload on Dean. Everytime you hear the "Dean Scream" without context, consider donating. When you hear some empty head talk about the party "moving left" with Dean, consider donating. When you hear about unnamed big dollar Democratic donors whining about pulling their money out of the party, consider donating.
Donate how?
Take the code on Markos's page and use it on your own site, too - so far, on a Saturday (as of the time I post this), it's raised nearly $34,000 to help fight the wingnuts.
Update: In the time it took to get it into the sidebar on the home page for a little while, the total increased by $1500, and is now over $35,000. I'm hoping it's over $100,000 by the end of the weekend. There are like two progressive billionaires, and we can't count on them to combat all of the nutcases.
Update 2: An hour later, the total is about $43,000. That's about $10K per hour - let's keep that up all weekend!
Update 3: The ActBlue page has been up for about 12 hours, and the total is over $73,000, with an average donation size of under $50. The rich folks are seething at this, I'm sure!
Update 4: 11:27 AM on 14 February, and they're $80 short of $100,000 in donations! If you didn't donate yet, now's a great time.
