An appeal - send $$ to Ron Paul

I have some dollars burning in my pocket, ready to be contributed -- where should I send them, where will I get the most bang  for the buck?

Hillary and Barak are overrun with cash,  contributing to them is like spitting into the ocean -- no noticeable effect.  Edwards is running behind in contributions, but lack of money is not his main problem.   Besides, I find them all of them acceptable, but none compellingly better.

Well maybe local races. This is better.  There are over 460 congressional and senatorial races.  Many of these are long shots, but every dollar we spend, ties up Republican dollars.  Maybe we can even win a few hail mary races.  Dean's 50-state campaign did so in 2006, giving us control of both houses.  Perhaps give  to Democracy for America, which is building infrastructure across the country.  Their money is well spent.

I have a better idea, contribute to Ron Paul for President.

Ron Paul for President!?  Except for the war, I, and most Kos readers, could hardly agree with him on the time of the day. Still, look what his campaign does.   Republican viewers, for the most part, have closed their ears to the anti-war views.  His strong speeches exposes a them to it.  Every time he speaks out, the other candidates defend the war even harder and tie themselves even tighter to the mast of a sinking ship.  These defenses provide fodder for the general election.  Paul's energy level and honesty contrasts strongly with the sorry lot the other Republicans -- and shows them all as a bundle of opportunism, incompetence and hypocrisy.

Go ahead, spend a few bucks.
