You all remember Scott Kleeb. He's our Nebraska cowboy who ran for the US House two years ago as a Democrat, and gave the Republicans such a run for their money (in a traditionally Republican district), that the Rs had to send George Bush himself in to save the day for Kleeb's opponent. (And that gives you an idea as to how conservative it is, as George Bush was still considered an asset a little over a year ago.)
Well, Scott is running again, this time for Nebraska's open seat in the US Senate. He's running in the Democratic primary against a Republican. Yes, his opponent in the Democratic primary is a Republican - and a friend of Bush, at that - who switched his party affiliation to Democrat two days before the filing deadline. His opponent has just put nearly half a million dollars of his own money into the campaign. So Scott could use your help - the primary is next Tuesday - you help matters now. I'd like to ask you to click the blue box in the upper left corner and donate to Scott's campaign. Scott is a proud Obama supporter and could really use your help.
The folks over at DailyKos are holding an online telethon for Scott between now and Friday. Their goal is to raise $20,000 for him by the end of the week. I'd like us to join in. One of the great things we all were able to accomplish during the 2006 congressional elections was to raise a heck of a lot of money for Democratic House candidates. Markos raised over $1.5 million, and even little old AMERICAblog pulled in a hefty $100k in only two weeks. I'd like to see us do that again. And wouldn't it be nice to have something we can all unify around, for a change :-)
So, if the spirit moves you, please click on the blue box in the upper left hand corner of this post, and donate to Scott's campaign. I've set us an optimistic goal of raising $10k for Scott by this Friday. We raised around $22,000 for him, I think, in the last campaign, so let's see what we can do this time. Again, Scott's Democratic primary (against the Republican) is next Tuesday. He needs your support now. Thanks as always, JOHN
