Wow. Our new anti-Lieberman page (see below) just got some great coverage from Chris Matthews on "Hardball" (click below to see the video).
After less than 48 hours, we're closing in on 6,000 pledgers, and an estimated $300K in pledges.
Please lend your support, "fan" the page, and spread it like crazy.
Senator Lieberman is threatening to filibuster health care reform. By becoming a fan now, you are pledging to donate to his opponent in 2012, if he follows through on this threat. We are not looking for donations ourselves, nor will we accept them. But when 2012 rolls around, and his opponents have announced, we wil...l remind you of your pledge, tell you which opponents are supportive of health care reform (with a public option) and ask you to follow through with them directly. (FYI, in determining total projected pledges, we are using an estimate of $50 on average per pledger. Yes, some will be lower, and some will probably flake altogether. But... some will be higher, and out of the group as a whole, there will be undoubtedly be a few who will max out at $2,300+. And each $2,300 donor makes up for 45 pledgers who flake) Read more

$100,000 pledged to defeat Lieberman? Maybe...
As you might have seen earlier, we started a new Facebook page today: "If Joe Lieberman filibusters health care, I will donate to his opponent."
Well, after just a few hours, we've already got 2,000 pledgers. Clearly, people are pissed.
By our estimate, that could well already equate to $100K in donations. Check the link below for the full story...

Senator Joe Lieberman is threatening to join with Republicans, and filibuster health care reform.
Enough is enough.
Check out the new page below, become a fan, and tell him that if he follows through on this threat, there will be a price to pay.

This
is pretty funny stuff. We're not sure who first put this together, but
thanks to "Independent WF" over at Left Take for posting it.
First two reasons below, full list at http://LefTake.com

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning. 02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

Hooray! There are now more fans of "exploring Uranus" (3,723) than there are fans of Senator Mitch McConnell! (2,411)
That's right... "exploring Uranus" is now nearly 50% more popular than the top elected Republican in America! :D
Well done, folks. Well done.
Telling Dick Cheney to Shut the Hell Up (by Leftake.com)
"Exploring Uranus" -- after one day -- is closing in on 700 fans. Senator Mitch McConnell, GOP leader in the Senate, has 2,409
fans.
At this pace (with your help), by the weekend... exploring
Uranus will officially be more popular than Mitch McConnell. Yes... exploring
Uranus -- more popular than the top elected Republican leader in
America. Ponder that.
You know what to do...
