I scare them. More accurately, you scare them. Progressives standing up for what we believe and not backing down when our beliefs get challenged.

That's why my campaign launched a Money Bomb today. I wanted to show the right wing that when someone speaks out for progressive values, he or she will get the support to win.

We're already at $334,194 $350,163 $375,413 $400,268 $450,235 $475,894 raised for our money bomb. I know many members of the Daily Kos community have already given to our money bomb. If you haven't, I hope you'll make a donation right now.

Today, we can show the "experts" that a progressive can raise money without having to cater to lobbyists and the DC pay-to-play culture.

I want a campaign by the people and for the people. Today's money bomb will show whether or not it's possible.

Please join our money bomb by contributing today. Then join me in the comments.
