Contribute Now to Replace Anthony Weiner's contributions

Goal thermometer

In today’s New York Times is an article, “Republicans Challenge Democrats on Weiner Donations” by Raymond Hernandez. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/07/republicans-challenge-democrats-on-weiner-donations/?hp

Wasting no time, Republicans are calling on sixteen relatively vulnerable Democratic members of the House of Representatives to return or donate to charity money that Weiner has given to them. We need an Act Blue page for donations to the Congresscritters on the GOP’s hit list. According to the article, "The Democrats on the list are Bill Owens of New York, Gerald E. Connolly of Virginia, Ed Perlmutter of Colorado, Tim Holden of Pennsylvania, John Barrow of Georgia, Brian Higgins of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Kurt Schrader of Oregon, David Loebsack of Iowa, Mark Critz of Pennsylvania, Gary Peters of Michigan, Rush Holt of New Jersey, Russ Carnahan of Missouri, Tim Bishop of New York and Tim Walz of Minnesota." I'll apologize for using "cleanerthanwiener" as the suffix for the URL of this web page. I actually think money Rep. Weiner has contributed to his colleagues is a lot cleaner than money from the Koch brothers or the Chamber of Commerce. So here's a convenient way to make an "in your face" answer to the National Republican Congressional Committee for targeting these Democrats.
