(62,325 posts)48. Well, that's up to us. Eg, now that I know about him
I can link to his site on my twitter account, email all my friends so they can do the same thing, and anyone else who read this thread can do the same, assuming they want to help get real Progressives elected. So, just from this one OP, he is likely to start getting donations.

Yes, I just checked him out also, but I don't think in the current climate, it's impossible.
