The Leno Challenge

If you read Spots or have ever had the opportunity to see me fail in trying to start a chant, you know I have a big mouth.

So here's your chance to make me put my money where my mouth is.

I am going to match, up to $500, the contributions made to Mark Leno's campaign through the Calitics Act Blue page through midnight Friday night.

See why on the flip, and donate right here:

Although Migden has imploded, she continues to play the spoiler role in this race. It's now a two-person race. In one corner we have Mark Leno, a champion of some of the most progressive legislation in California. In the other corner we have Joe Nation, who is one step away from being a Republican. SD-03 is a solidly Progressive district that would be best represented by Mark Leno. But Migden's refusal to drop out of a race that she cannot win creates the very serious risk that Nation could win.

Seeing the rare opportunity for a conservative to pick up what should be a safe Progressive seat, the conservative interest groups are lining up to funnel money into Joe Nation's campaign. The HMOs are salivating at the possibility of having someone like Joe Nation represent SD3 and do their dirty work in Sacramento to obstruct any hope we have of rational healthcare in California. All the while, Carole Migden is going to be using her illegal campaign funds to unfairly attack Mark Leno.

Mark Leno has always supported the netroots, has attended several Calitics events, and was the first guest on the Calitics podcast. So let's get together and help support him. Open up your wallets and make me open up mine.  $5?  $10?  $50?
