AAARRRGGHHH

Please, if you can spare $5 or $10, please help me boost the candidate running in OH-08. The current holder of that seat is John Boehner, the Republican leader in the House. The challenger is Nicholas Von Stein. His email to use in Paypal is votevonstein@yahoo.com.

Why do I, an activist in Seattle, care about this particular race?

The White House branded Pelosi's request for a federal grand jury to enforce the House subpeonas "truly contemptible." Pelosi's House Republican colleagues dismissed her request as "a partisan political stunt." White House spokesman Tony Fratto played the fear card and denounced Pelosi for trying to investigate loyal Americans instead of passing legislation that makes Americans safe by allowing the executive branch to spy without warrants. House GOP leader John Boehner's spokesperson accused Pelosi of making Americans unsafe by "pandering to the left-wing fever swamps of loony liberal activists."

Longshot, yeah. But it still feels good to send my money to the campaign going against the guy who doesn't give a darn about the law.
