Smart Facebook Campaign Against Blue Dogs From dotPAC

By: Jane Hamsher Tuesday July 21, 2009 2:00 pm

eople around here know that I don’t jump on campaigns lightly — most of the traditional ways that liberals do advocacy are in need of serious re-examination because they just plain don’t work.  But I gave $100 myself to this one.   I think it’s a great idea and recommend it highly.
