A coalition appears! Support (y/y)?

[solarbird]

There's a grand coalition being founded between the Hamscher/Greenwald/Digby left, the Ron Paul/Lymon/Williams/libertarian right, and civil libertarian groups including the ACLU. It's currently called the Strangebedfellows Alliance and more news is promised; the first plan of action is working against the FISA disgrace and against Democratic House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

And if you haven't donated to the anti-Hoyer cause, now is a good time. This is going to take money, on top of everything else.

I would personally enjoy seeing this become a replacement for one or both of the current major parties, as unlikely as that is. Party turnover is long, long, long overdue.

Drop in the bucket, but I did my part. *sigh*

The average donation is $56.48 right now. That's more than I gave, but still, not a massive chunk per person. Despite this, there's over $158,000 out there in under 24 hours. The final target on the previous round of these was a mere $85,000, achieved over two or three days, I forget which. This is progress.
