What Do You and Fleetwood Mac Have In Common?

Q. What do you and Fleetwood Mac have in common?

A. Possibly, the RIAA-certified Quadruple Platinum Award for Fleetwood Mac’s album “The Dance.”

OK, here is the deal. Howie Klein, impresario of the Blue America PAC, owns this gorgeous award, given in recognition of the fact that “The Dance” was – and is – the fifth best-selling live performance album of all time. With Fleetwood Mac playing “Rhiannon,” “Go Your Own Way,” “Don’t Stop” and other huge hits, who wouldn’t buy that album?

Howie Klein and Blue America PAC will chose one contributor who contributes any amount to Congressional candidate Ted Lieu’s campaign between now and noon on Wednesday, and that very lucky supporter will receive the Fleetwood Mac Quadruple Platinum Award. So click here, and help out.

Why Fleetwood Mac? Because Fleetwood Mac is awesome. You love Fleetwood Mac, that’s why.

Why should you help Ted Lieu? Because Ted Lieu has been an extremely effective California State Senator, and he is the Democratic candidate to replace retiring Rep. Henry Waxman in Congress. In his last month alone as a State Senator, here are a few of the things that Ted Lieu accomplished:

(1) Lieu passed a law to prevent the California State Government from cooperating with NSA domestic spying.
(2) Lieu helped foster children who are being “medicated” with psychotropic medications that haven’t even been tested on children.
(3) Lieu passed a law to target child sex traffickers for punishment.

Does Lieu need the help? Yes. In 2012 Waxman, a 40-year legend in Congress, won by only 9% of the vote.

So give Ted Lieu’s campaign a helping hand, and maybe this historic Quadruple Platinum Award will be yours.

This offer ends on Wednesday, at noon. But don’t stop thinking about tomorrow.

Courage,

Rep. Alan Grayson

...because she couldn't hear it in her mind's ear.
The original version, not the version with the girls.

I probably wouldn't have clicked on this thread otherwise...

I believe the three items you listed, most people in this country would agree with. Instead, you have peppered this post with requests for money. Do you have a link to anything other than Mr. Lieu's donation page?

Thank you,
madinmaryland (actually I am now in Ohio)
