ActBlue is raising funds for better Dems to defeat the BushDems, and Brian Baird (WA-03) is among their targets.
You can go here to contribute to Cheryl Crist and/or any of the BushDem challengers, including Regina Thomas of Georgia’s 12th District:
BushDemocrat John Barrow voted with George Bush on every issue we track, including Iraq, Iran, habeas [...]
since Riverbend last posted; the post was long and hopeful, about she and her family’s arrived in Syria as refugees from Iraq.
But since then, only silence.
From the Washington Post last week:
Damascus is the epicenter of the Middle East’s gravest humanitarian disaster since the Palestinian refugee crisis of 1948. …Unlike its neighbors, who have imposed strict [...]
President Bush again sought to politicize the issue, saying Americans are paying the price at the pump due to obstruction by Democrats in Congress.
