I have a $100 (I know not much) to give to a candidate(s). With so many worthwile people out there, I thought I'd ask my fellow FReepers who should I donate to? All to one candidate or divide it up? Thanks.
sarahpac or take back the twenty.com
Split it 10 ways.
Sharron Angle. Dump Dirty Harry!
I’ve enjoyed Demints conservative pac site to give. Hope he gets of the Romney train (wreck) before 2012.
Like political advertising agencies need more money. Save it, and talk to people about the merits of your favorite candidate.
I gave a little to O’Donell and a little to Allan West, both great candidates.
5 ways: Dino Rossi, Sharron Angle, Joe Miller, Christine O’Donnell and SarahPAC.
How is ol’ Ben? He hasn’t visited my wallet for a long, long time. A prayer is in order. He knows where best to put Mr. Franklin.
I didn’t have much money either. But I gave a small amount to Melissa Haluszczak (PA-14:Pittsburgh).
She is running against Mike Doyle, the Democrat stooge who convinced the Stupak group to abandon their anti-abortion principles and support Obama care.

I checked her position on the issues. She’s another strong Conservative woman.

You can divide it up among the conservative candidates Jim DeMint is backing and 100% goes to the candidate.
Rather than contribute to any campaigns, consider this suggestion:
Go find 5 to 10 moderate Republicans or Independents who are not in favor of supporting conservatives. Take each one out to lunch, one at a time between now and Nov 1st. You don’t need to order anything for yourself, in order to maximize your $100.
While they eat, you discuss this issue: electing conservatives.
Draw a horizontal line on a piece of paper. Draw a large dot at the left end of the line, one large dot at the right end, and one large dot in the very middle. Label the dots, from left to right: Liberal, Moderate, and Conservative.
Explain that if a largely moderate Republican Congress were to negotiate legislation with liberal Democrats, the resulting compromises would be somewhere between the liberal dot and the moderate dot, far from the conservative dot. Draw a line perpendicular to the horizontal line about halfway between the liberal dot and the moderate dot. Label it lib-mod compromise.
If conservative Republicans did the same negotiating with liberal Democrats, the resulting compromise would be roughly where the moderate dot is on the line. Draw another perpendicular line through the moderate dot and label it conserv-lib compromise.
Even if the Republican caucus were to negotiate amongst themselves, and moderates and conservatives were to develop compromise legislation between them, the legislation would not be Far Right Wing Extremist legislation. It would be somewhere between the moderate dot and the conservative dot. Draw a line halfway between the two dots and label it mod-conserv compromise.
Therefore, even what moderates might consider to be extremist conservative Republicans could not produce and get passed Far Right Wing Extremist legislation.
So why would your moderate or independent friend be overly concerned about ultra-conservative Republicans being elected to office?
Easy - give to Jim DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund.
Joe Miller, Christine O’Donnel, Rand Paul, Ken Buck, Sharon Angle and more.
You can give all or part to individual candidates. Check it out here:

Interesting site...thanks for posting it.
On top of all the senate races mentioned, consider the following 2 house races.
Barney Frank, he is in trouble, his challenger: is Sean Bielat
Also, Johm Dingell has a challenger that I think as a real chance taking his seat, and that is Cardiologist Dr. Rob Steele.
As a side note, (and this is big IMHO) it hit local media here in Michigan yesterday the DNC has pulled out from ( money wise) the "Stupak" seat, they realize it is LOST. Dr. Benishek will probably win it...
Send it to FR!
You beat me to it. We’ve sent money to DeMint and will send more. He supports the RIGHT kind of candidates.
Sharron Angle. Harry Reid must go.
