I gave $25.

At Bush's 2006 State of the Union speech, Democrats interrupted his speech to applaud and cheer their obstruction of Bush's proposal to reform Social Security.

Fast-forward to about 45:50 to see it. And at 46:05, take careful note of who you see in the lower left corner of the frame.

Hint: he didn't vote "present" this time.

I gave $17.76.

Good catch.

His website for donations was down for quite awhile — the $ numbers will go up when the US mail donations arrive - as mine is one of them.

[LS]

LOL. Appropriate.

[DonaldC]

His only mistake was apologizing afterwards.

[Magic Fingers]

“I gave $25.”

Likewise. I hope there are thousands more.

I don't think he will have any problem raising money for his reelection, in the reelection campaign in 2010 all he has to do is point out that his counterpart got his money from the moon bats over this issue and his district will reelect just because.

People are so eager to find a ‘brave’ Congressman ... which has become a oxymoron. Shamefully.

Our congressman are acting like wimps. MO

Just wait until the election 2010. They will be surprised to find themselves “OUT” of being in the privileged few. MO..

[rjsimmon]

Excellent!

[Let's Roll]

Thanks to Joe Wilson for showing the way ... speaking out may become a fund raising source for his colleagues who can’t be moved by any other means.

Less than a day

More coming by mail from those of us who didn't need a tweet from his campaign in order to support him. And, BTW, I understand why he apologized for the venue of his statement, but would have been happier if he'd mentioned that the dems booed Pres. Bush during a SOTU address, which, in my view, is much worse.

Miller said he is aiming to top over $1 million in the next 24 hours, a total that dwarfs the $67,000 he has took in during the entire first half of the year.

Journalism - not to mention grammar - is dead on CNN. And everyone knows that the alleged $1M is coming from Soros.

God I hope the feds don’t go the way of the Philadelphia City monkey house.

To ridicule Rep. Wilson is the same as ridiculing the American people. He yelled out what we thought, in two simple words.

[mlizzy]

I gave. You can too!
