Its Tuesday which means its Candidate Night on CLout.   During 2006  we were able to raise over 200,000 dollars for progressive candidates and this time around we hope to get more then a million dollars.  To start things off we have Benjamin Rahn, Co-Founder and Chair of Act BLUE.   Inaddition to his work with ActBlue, Ben is currently the ResidentPhysics Tutor at Harvard's Pforzheimer House, where he aids Harvard
undergraduates in navigating personal and academic challenges and
builds the House's intellectual and social community. Ben holds a B.A.

Launched in June 2004, ActBlue created and deployed the next
generation of online fundraising technology, and has raised over $45
million for more than 2550 Democratic candidates and committees. In 2006
ActBlue helped channel the rising tide of grassroots commitment
and energy to re-establish Democratic power in Congress. In
2007-08 we will scale to raise $100 million, expand our scope
beyond raising funds to include recruiting volunteers, and
reshape the state legislative landscape for the 2010
redistricting.

How come nobody ever talks about John McCain's radical pastor friends? Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films has a great new video about Rod Parsley, who has endorsed John McCain. In fact, John McCain actively sought out this man's endorsement. Tim Russert, are you reading this?
