Body: I'll be out with everyone else to protest Bush and Talent on Friday. But I had another idea the other day. Bush is coming to KC to raise money for Talent, and protesting on foot won't stop those big checks ($1000 per person!) from rolling in. But why not use Bush's appearance to raise money for Claire McCaskill? That way, those who can't make it to the protest, and even people across the country, can protest the Bush/Talent machine and help balance out those $1000 checks. With that in mind, I created an ActBlue page to gather contributions for Claire: End: 1:00 am
