This Texas Democrat needs our help (million-pixel site)
Dad to son: Join GOP or else

Ted Gambordella dislikes the idea that his only son, a Highland Park High junior, is a Democrat. He loathes it so much that he has flat-out refused to pay for his son's college education unless he becomes a Republican.

"Yeah, I'm serious," said Mr. Gambordella, a 57-year-old martial arts expert. "He's got to earn his own way."

...

The 17-year-old said there's no way he'll switch to the GOP just to get his father's financial backing. He recently started a Web site – onemillionreasonswhy .com – to raise money for college.

"It's not about the money," said Teddy, who spent two years wrestling for W.T. White High before joining Highland Park's team last fall. "It's about spreading knowledge about Bush and his administration and proving my dad wrong. It's more of a principle thing."

And here's Teddy Gambordella's website:

He's got some help already from Dallas County Young Democrats, the authors of DUCK! The Dick Cheney Survival Bible, and Democratic Underground (yeah!) - but if we can circulate this among as many Democratic organizations and clubs that we can think of, that would be terrific.

1. Guess who's gonna get a FREE RIDE...
...if I happen to hit MegaBucks with my paltry little $10 bill on payday? :D
And on the 1 billion:1 chance that I actually do hit it, you can all quote me on that.
