  <blurb>I believe candidates with strong, sound progressive stances deserve our support, particularly in primary races where they are opposed by folks who have been proven to be the opposite of progressive. Your early dollars can make the difference. Please make a contribution to this critical cause.</blurb>

      <pageblurb>He almost knocked off the crooked ReThug, and I do mean Thug, Doolitte. This is a chance to pick up a seat on the ReichWing with a military veteran who has sworn to end the damn war.

      <pageblurb>Lots of &amp;apos;sphere folk support Darcy. She&amp;apos;s a strongly progressive candidate who is &lt;b&gt;against&lt;/b&gt; the continuing occupation of Iraq.

Visit her website &lt;a href="http://www.darcyburner.com/"&gt;Burner for Congress!&lt;/a&gt; and make up your own mind but we endorse her. One thing to know is that Boosh the murderer keeps appearing with her opponent to raise money for him. Supporting her is one way to say &amp;apos;No&amp;apos; to the BushWhacker and his insane policies.</pageblurb>

      <pageblurb>Mark Pera is trying to primary out the &amp;apos;Bush Dog&amp;apos; Lipinski in a D+10 district. Lipinski just luvs him some Bush. Our troops, not so much. Frankly, I think he must be BFF with Rahm &amp;apos;I won 2006&amp;apos; Emmanuel and that&amp;apos;s &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; a good thing.

Here&amp;apos;s &lt;a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/9/24/195020/099"&gt;The Great Orange Satan on this vital primary.&lt;/a&gt;

Many have been complaining loudly and vociferously about the lack of action by the Democratic caucus against the Bush/Cheney Fascist takeover.

This is your chance to take action against a guy who is one of the reasons Bush can thumb his nose at the Democratic caucus and us.

So cough it up.</pageblurb>

      <pageblurb>Jerry is also ours. We worked for him. He sent the vile Pombo to the showers. His &lt;a href="http://www.progressivepunch.org/"&gt;Progressive Punch&lt;/a&gt; rating is &lt;b&gt;no longer&lt;/b&gt; higher than Barbara Lee&amp;apos;s but  &lt;a href="http://takeaction.wordpress.com/2008/02/11/you-remember-that-guywhat-was-his-namejjjerjerryyeah-jerry-mcnerneythe-guy-we-helped-take-out-the-vile-pombo/"&gt;Jerry says, &amp;apos;Out of Iraq now.&amp;apos;&lt;/a&gt;,  so I say we continue to support him.

      <pageblurb>I met Mr. LaRocco in the comments over at dKos and he impressed me so much I decided to add him to our list. Here is &lt;a href="http://www.laroccoforsenate.com/"&gt;his campaign website.&lt;/a&gt;

He&amp;apos;s running for &amp;apos;Wide Stance&amp;apos; Larry Craig&amp;apos;s seat in Idaho. </pageblurb>
