A Penny Per Soldier

2782.    20687.
 
Those are the latest numbers of dead and wounded US military personnel in Iraq according to the Iraq Coalition Casualty Count website. Stop a minute and let that sink in. 2782 dead. 20687 wounded. Consider the pain and devastation inflicted on these soldiers and thier families.
 
Now I'm going to make a request from each and every one of you to do your part to help stop this tragedy.
 
1 penny per US soldier killed = $27.82
1 second per US soldier wounded = 5 hours 45 minutes
 
Please consider donating that amount of money, or time (or both) to help get Democrats elected. The number of competitive races for Democrats keeps growing, your time and money are needed now more than ever.
 
A penny per soldier killed. A second per soldier wounded. Is that too much to ask?
 
A full list of candidates for the US House and Senate, with links to thier websites, is below the fold.

That's 56, count 'em, 56, I guess the Republicans haven't heard about the 50-State Strategy.
By the way, Democrats only left 9 seats uncontested. Go here and show Howard Dean some love.
