Were you upset about Kucinich having no chance at all? Here's a race where the left-leaning geek can make a difference and you can help. His positions can be found here (individual issues are clickable on the right side of that page).

Thanks for this post! I've donated.

This is the year to overthrow established right-wing assholes via Internet volunteers and funding. The PACs will figure out how to [ab]use the net by 2010, so we gotta hit 'em hard now.

That's awesome! I have to wonder if anyone has done this before, using the internet to appeal to an audience of non-constituents for the bulk of their campaign funds.

Imagine a network of such campaigns, where you donate to a candidate in Kansas while someone in California donates to your favorite candidate in MA. Oh wait, ha ha, that would never work because it could mess with the power of the lobbyists, or at least make their job harder.
