Today I want to address a plea to anyone in tech who has ended up with a bunch of free money this year because of the insane rise in Bitcoin, or the tech boom. Take some of this windfall and use it strategically.

The last brake on the radical right agenda is fear of losing elections. If the Republicans can hold the house in 2018, they will see it as a ratification of everything they've done this year. Not just the policy, but the recklessness.

The threat this poses is not Trump and the old-age home that runs the country right now. It's the younger generation waiting in the wings, the politically competent and morally ruthless up-and-comers who watch and learn.

You've wound up this year, through no work of your own, with a pile of money. Take $21,600 of it and give a maximum donation to the candidates on the Great Slate. Get us eight seats closer to putting the brakes on this new radicalism.https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

Remember that the 2018 House will shape the US census in 2020. Imagine what a revitalized Republican party that retained one-party rule would be able to do with that census, and what it would mean for our chances of a progressive party ever winning again.

$21,600 is a lot to ask for. But in places like Arkansas and New Mexico, it goes a long, long way! Do something real with your windfall, don't just wait to watch it vanish when the cryptocoin bubble pops.https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …
