Tom Allen wants to end the war that Susan Collins and Joe Lieberman won't stop

John and I got an e-mail from Tom Allen after we put up the Act Blue page seeking donations for his run against GOP Senator Susan Collins. Please contribute. We're the third hottest page on Act Blue today.

I know it's early to be thinking about the 2008 elections, but early money matters. And, don't forget, the two Iraq war enablers, Susan Collins and Joe Lieberman, are raising money for Collins' campaign today. Meanwhile, Tom's trying to figure out ways to end the war.

I've known Tom since around 1985. He really is as genuine, sincere and smart as he comes across. He'll make a great Senator from Maine -- in the tradition of George Mitchell. Here's his e-mail:

Dear Joe and John:

Thank you for including me on your ActBlue page. The response from the netroots community since you posted yesterday is already a good indicator of the power of small donors to make a big difference. Such activism is a strong counter to pro-war factions represented by Susan Collins and Joe Lieberman, who is hosting a fundraiser in Washington, D.C. tonight for Susan's campaign. Together Susan and Joe have consistently voted in approval of Bush's failed policies on Iraq and have neglected to hold the administration accountable.

I hope you'll stop by my on line New England town hall on Iraq tonight at 7 on www.tomallen.org. I look forward to hearing what you think and sharing my ideas about bringing our troops home.

Tom
