Money Money Money

As Kos points out, Bush can serve hot dogs for $2000 per any day of the week and rake in loads of cash. The fact is that the Democrats need money, and they need it badly. The candidates need it for the primary, not just to fight each other but to lay the groundwork for the general election. The DNC needs it to coordinate an overall national effort. The state parties need it. Your local candidates need it. Interest groups need it.

Some of you don´t have much money - fine, then call and volunteer. If no one calls you back, call again. Put a bumper sticker on your car. Print out fliers and hand them out on street corners.

Some of you do have some money - if so, give small amounts often.

Some of you may have some extra liquor and gambling money - if so, give it away.

You can give to any of the candidates on the left. But, this money isn´t enough. Once the primary season is effectively over, these candidates will be broke and will need the DNC to step in and start running the ball towards the endzone during the summer months while the candidates replenish their funds.

So, you can donate to the DNC through this site here. As Kos says:

And for all of those who say "I'll support the nominee, no matter who he is", what better way to show you mean it than by donating to the ePatriots fund? After the primaries are done, our nominee will emerge broke and bloodied, only to face $200 million in GOP attack ads. The money you donate will be used by the DNC to counter those ads. This effort will be crucial to the ultimate success of our candidate.

Or, pick your favorite candidate/cause/organization/whatever. I´m not going to tell you how to spend your money. The point is, there are a small number of rich people/corporations and a large number of not-so-rich people. A large number of small donations adds up - but only if you make them.
