Give It Up For Darcy
Good God. Darcy Burner's house burned down yesterday. (I just found out about it reading Digby's blog.) For those of you not following Washington politics, Darcy is the Democratic challenger to Republican Dave Reichert. She's a netroots candidate: tech savvy, anti-war, anti-FISA immunity, pro-Constitution, and that kind of good stuff. We think Darcy rocks, and not just because she sometimes reads Hal's LJ.
So. Fire. The humans are all okay (though the cat didn't make it) but with the house a total loss, the family will be busy putting their lives back on course in the aftermath of a major personal disaster. Meanwhile the Reichert campaign will be churning right along, raising funds and doing what active political campaigns do. It would be nice if Darcy's campaign fund-raising didn't have to suffer because of her personal set-back. Nice for all of us, I mean, for all those who want more and better Democrats in Congress, anyway.
So, if you're the sort of person who is looking forward to a more progressive America in 2009, could you maybe kick a few bucks Darcy's way?
