Appreciation Thread for Doug Hughes

He cares about country more than any politician, and more than his own welfare. He could have been shot down, but the mail to those 500 or so members of Congress was important. He said that there are so many things that need to be fixed, but nothing can be fixed until campaign finanace reform is reformed...

Thank you, Mr. Hughes.

I appreciate everything you did for us.

Chris Mathews devoted some time to him this afternoon. Well said and well done!

He suggested his punishment should be community service: one hour of testimony to Congress to help them understand how broken the system is and to fix it.

this is not cute or funny-some dumbass is going to see what he did and decide to fly an explosive right into the White House. I'm serious-there are legal ways to express dissent.
