I just donated $50 to Common Cause.

http://www.commoncause.org

From an email from Common Cause:

* Huge, merged media companies are working in the halls of Congress on legislation that could restrict your access to the internet. We'll be lobbying Congress to keep the internet open.

4. Chellie Pingree heads up that org. She ran against Susan Collins

and unfortunately lost. But she is a nice lady and pretty smart too. I think that CC might be an ok place to send money. Better than to the DLC at any rate.

How about some freakin’ election reform already?!

3. Some of that "lobbying" might be with the weak 19...

In the future, you might consider doing a little of your own lobbying. Send the money to a Congressman with a note explaining what issues are important to you.
