" Dear Joe,

Do you think the Democratic Party needs a backbone?

If so, today I'm asking you to join me in supporting Ilya Sheyman, running next month in an Illinois primary against a conservative opponent

Click here to donate $3 to Ilya's bold progressive campaign and help him win.


As National Mobilization Director at MoveOn, Ilya mobilized millions of people in support of the public option.

Before that, he was Field Director for Gov. Howard Dean’s Democracy for America, training progressive activists all over America.

Ilya Sheyman is a bold progressive -- we need him in Congress. And the election's next month.

Please click here to help elect Ilya to Congress -- donate just $3 today.

It’s a long road from where we are now to having 218 progressive Members of the House. But every journey begins with a single step. Let’s take that step today."

Solidarity,
Alan Grayson

Backbone? Who needs backbone when you got a back DRONE.

What the Democratic Party needs is a brick wall to line up all their backbones on. Four walls would be three too many.

Ahh, yeah, what would SMBIVA be without the ubiquitous MoveOn mass emails? Like shooting fish in a barrel...

" Dear Joe,

Do you think the Democratic Party needs a backbone?

D'ah ha ha ha ha hahh. Y'know, I fell for that "backbone" trope until after the '06 midterms when, after the Donkeycrats retook control over Congress, Speaker Pelosi explicitly declared that the Democrats wouldn't support any effort to impeach President Chimp:

Waitamnnit... MoveOn organizes mobilizations? Oh, what a giveaway. Oh, and he helped gather support for that dickless "public option" in Obama's historically historic healthcare "reform" program? D'ahh, pussy.

Before that, he was Field Director for Gov. Howard Dean’s Democracy for America, training progressive activists all over America...

Oh, and he helped heard millions of dissident Democrats and Progressives back onto the reservation? Hot damn' diggety; he's my man.

And, Alan Grayson allowed his name to be signed to this steaming plopper? Jeez, and I kinda liked him, too. Oh, and he signs it "Solidarity". Bah, I don't know of a single Donkeycrat who knows the meaning of the word.
