It’s true, in 7 days, Democrats will probably have a majority in the House.

Unfortunately there’s a good chance that the representative in RIT’s district, Randy Kuhl, a man who:

• has stood behind the administration as a loyal lapdog for the last two years
• threatened his wife with two shotguns (http://www.gunguys.com/?p=1481)
• tries to scare voters into voting for him ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZU-_dfOOzvI)
• is allowing the closing of a VA hospital in the district that provides critical psychiatric evaluations to troops returning from overseas ( http://www.mpnnow.com/news/view_story.php?articleId=4051)

is going to be re-elected?

Instead why not elect a man who:

• spent 24 years in the Navy, and knows what true leadership means
• worked as an assistant to the Commander of NATO in Bosnia
• has a bill already written for single-payer health care that he will introduce on the floor of the House his first week there
• wants to raise the Pell Grant (that most college students rely on) to at least $5,100 from a current maximum around $4,000

I know College Students generally don’t give money to campaigns, we’re strapped for cash as it is, but everyone can afford 5$, maybe a little more if you’re willing to skip ordering that pizza you can give 15$ even without hurting yourself.  In addition, to help make these small donations help even more:

I am willing to personally match every penny that RIT College Dems or their friends contribute.

If you give 5$, your friend gives 2$, and your roommate gives 13$ that’s another 20$ that I’m going to give.

To donate online: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/8515
fill out the form, you’ll get a confirmation email, forward it to me and I’ll add it to what I contribute.

If you’d rather give a small cash donation reply to this email and we’ll work it out.

If you’d rather give your money to another race or to the DCCC I’m also willing to match donations to other races including these:
money to the general House campaign fund, the DCCC - https://www.dccc.org/contribute/default/?id=leftnav  (these donations are being matched 3:1 by Congressional Dems, with my 2-1 donation your donation will turn into 6 dollars for every dollar you contribute)
the general Senate campaign fund, the DSCC -https://secure.democratsenators.org/dia/organizations/dscc/shop/contributedscc.jsp
