Got extra money lying around? How about giving it to one or all of these candidates, all of which are in extremely close races, all of which are winnable, and all of whom will have a huge impact on the next Congress. Remember, small donations, even $5 or $10, can make a huge difference. This is how we win.

Join me in giving money to each of them today!!!

Elwyn Tinklenberg: Do the words "Michelle Bachmann" fill you with mind-numbing hatred and disgust? Elwyn Tinklenberg is running in Minnesota's 6^th congressional district against Bachmann, who you may remember as the Minnesota congresswoman who said the press should investigate Democratic members of Congress for anti-American activities; who said in reference to multi-culturalism that "all cultures are not equal" (the Islamic one for instance compared to the European one); and who, shall we say, is not a huge fan of gay people. She is horrible and her departure will not be a moment too soon. Plus we've got a great candidate in El Tinklenberg, who's the subject of this rap song, which is awesome. Donate here.

Al Franken: I've said it before, I'll say it again: we need to win this one, if for no other reason than to see the look on Bill O'Reilly's face as he is compelled to say the following three words: "Senator Al Franken". Plus the RNC is running what may be the sleaziest campaign commercial of the year. Saturday was the sixth anniversary of Paul Wellstone's death. This was his seat. Let's win this one back for Paul. Donate here.

Victoria Wulsin: Wulsin is running against "Mean" Jean Schmidt, so named for her tirade in Congress calling John Murtha a "coward" for opposing the Iraq war, and innumerable other outrages. As an added bonus, this is the second district of Ohio where I'll be working on GOTV for the next week. You wouldn't want my travels to be in vain, now, wouldja? Wulsin is a great candidate, and Schmidt's defeat couldn't happen to a nicer person. Donate here.

Mark Begich: Begich is running for US Senate in Alaska against incumbent Senator Ted Stevens, who's been in the Senate since the dinosaurs roamed the earth (and probably thinks they still do). This is an extremely close race. How can that be, you might ask, given that Stevens was found guilty today of seven charges of official corruption? Let's not wait to find out. As an added bonus, Stevens gets to join Sarah Palin on the list of Alaska Republicans we send packing. Donate here.

Bruce Lunsford: Lunsford is running for the US Senate in Kentucky against Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell. Perhaps the most farcical moment of this race came in the last few days when this happened. It's something you really need to read to believe. Imagine how demoralized Senate Republicans will be having their leader deposed. Donate here.

More to follow.
