  <blurb>Ashwin Madia is:


&amp;bull;	A marine and Iraq war veteran 
&amp;bull;	An advocate of staged Iraq war withdrawal
&amp;bull;	A community activist and volunteer
&amp;bull;	A pro bono legal advocate for the disenfranchised
&amp;bull;	An economic moderate
&amp;bull;	A supporter of full federal funding of education


Early money expands the efficiency of financial contributions. It not only leads to more money; it signals to political elites how credible a candidate is. Just as Emily&amp;rsquo;s List acronym (Early Money Is Like Yeast) recognizes the importance of early money in a fledgling campaign, so too Ashwin Madia&amp;rsquo;s campaign kneads the dough to create a campaign infrastructure and build name recognition. 
 

Please join me in financially supporting Ashwin Madia for Congress with some critical early money.
