  <blurb>    We are in historic time in America. Our economy is in serious trouble and we need to take action. I have been fighting for working people my whole career and its time our politics starts fighting for them too.&lt;br /&gt;

    For too long, our government has worked for powerful interests and not for the middle class. Most recently, we have seen billions of dollars in bailouts to the banks and the Federal Reserve pumping in trillions of dollars more. Now, it&amp;#39;s your turn.&lt;br /&gt;

    I want to go to Congress and expand Social Security, secure health care for all Americans, and work to get people out of debt. But, I need your help.&lt;br /&gt;

    As you know, it costs money to run a campaign so please help with donation.  You may contribute by credit card below or mail a check made payable to:&lt;br /&gt;
