Dev's picks for 2008 Dev P dev@hcs.harvard.edu Hello to my friends and family! This is a list of candidates that I&#39;ve chosen who I think are worth any support you can give. &nbsp; When I judge a candidate, I keep in mind:<ul> <li>support for technology, science, and entrepreneurship (important to me, as a tech-entrepreneur)</li> <li>a stable economy</li> <li>fiscal responsibility, rule of law, fairness</li> <li>my New Jersey roots</li></ul> &nbsp; My comments are next to each candidate below. Email me if you have any questions about any of this. &nbsp; Also: this site, ActBlue, is one I work with at my job. It&#39;s a fabulous organization, and I&#39;m having a great time working with them! When you contribute, you&#39;ll be prompted to leave a &quot;tip&quot; for the fine folks at ActBlue. Please do support them. public true 500.00 2 25 Barack Obama false President obama 4800.00 1064247.56 14574 http://www.barackobama.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/16332 200.00 1 We need Obama as our next president. Three clear reasons: &nbsp; (1) Economic Change: We must promote tech and green-energy industries, and support small businesses and entrepreneurs like myself. Obama&apos;s policies are a clear win for those who seek to innovate. &nbsp; (2) Foreign Policy: We need a foreign policy backed by reason and strength. The old policies would continue to bankrupt and weaken us. &nbsp; (3) Balanced Budgets: History proves that Democrats Balance Budgets. We need to do this in order to stabilize the economy Darcy Burner false WA-08 burner 4800.00 760588.59 21568 http://www.darcyburner.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/17762 200.00 1 I know of Burner through friends, and I can confirm that she is a smart and trustworthy candidate. She is a former Microsoft product manager, and has run for this seat before. &nbsp; Her policies are pro-science, pro-tech, and in favor of practical progressive reforms. We need more people like her! Josh Zeitz false NJ-04 zeitz 4800.00 176693.80 719 http:// https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/18400 0.00 0 Zeitz would be a great representative for New Jersey! He is a scholar, professor and writer with deep Jersey roots, and is committed to a smart slate of progressive policies. Let&apos;s get some smart folks in our congress! Rush Holt false NJ-12 holt 4800.00 6870.06 2332 http://www.rushholt.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/12797 100.00 1 Holt is the real deal: a former professor of physics (his bumper stickers read: &quot;My Congressman IS a rocket scientist!&quot;) and an experienced congressman. In addition to pro-science and progressive policies, he is a strong advocate of verifiable voting (to fight electronic voting fraud). One of the best Congressmen we have. Al Franken false MN-Sen franken 4800.00 512642.75 17067 http://www.alfranken.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/16471 0.00 0 My former state of Minnesota! Franken embodies the compassion and wit that I see in many friends from Minnesota. He would be a great addition to our Senate.
