I love your blog – and I would really love to have this button on my blog. I assume it links to your post explaining the concept?

Today I read something that chilled me. http://www.sarahpac.com/

We cannot be complacent. The forces of darkness are ever active.

Sounds like a plan. I am in.

For lots of women candidates to support, try emilyslist.org. It’s what they do, and I contribute monthly. I really support their mission.

For my $27 bucks, I think it is really worth finding WOMEN who are running for office to support. Nothing is going to change on a deep level until women are much more represented in all the corridors of political power.

I’m all for the revolution! I sent some money to Senator Clinton earlier this year, and I promised to send some money to the unfortunately named Rick Noreiga (who is running against the awful Texas senator John Cornyn). I pledged 15, but I’m going to up it to 27–just to be a legitimate revolutionary.

Great reminder – I was going to go with $15 to Obama this week, but I’ll kick it up to $27!

Obama got my first $27, them Moveon.org got $27 x3. I’ve spent years working in politics and only money talks. We can spend hours writing great rhetoric but the reality is that unless someone ponies up the cash, nothing happens.

This time I want it to be MY money that talks!

I gave money and I’m a loud mouth, making it clear exactly what I expect from candidates in return.

I know we’re always concerned with our families finances, but here’s another great way to contribute that $27, a little at a time: EMILY’s List. At emilyslist.org, you can sign up to donate a small amount monthly (I believe the minimum is $5-10)and have it go toward electing pro-choice women to office. EMILY stands for “early money is like yeast,” meaning, it helps to raise the dough! I have been a fan for a long time, amd love their philosophy of giving what yu can spare on a monthly basis. Check it out for an easy, painless way to contribute!

I started contributing to political causes a few years ago – first to Moveon.org and to a local woman councilperson in my town – and then to Obama starting in 2007; oddly before I had even decided I wanted him vs. Hillary! I just wanted him to get heard because I liked what he was saying.

I’ve continued to give this year because it’s the most important election perhaps in the past 30 years. With so many Supreme Court justices possibly on the line, we can’t afford another Republican president.
