I am a Democratic blogger, and blogger and fundraiser for Heather Ryan, Democrat for the First District Congressional Seat in Kentucky. I came here to write and try and help elect Progressive candidates that will serve our country well.
I am currently working on my Batchelor's in Social Studies. I have a 3.9 GPA at Mid-Continent University in Mayfield, Ky. I am a life-long Democrat. I consider myself a Kennedy Democrat, and Robert F. Kennedy is my hero, and the person whose vision I most aspire to. More recently I am also an Edwards Democrat and believe very strongly in the agenda of "One America" put forth by John Edwards in both his runs for the Presidency. I enjoy History of all kinds, and am a political activist. I like sports and the Chicago Cubs are my main love along with Kentucky Wildcats in all sports. I am also a Dallas Cowboys fan, and a Celtics fan for pro basketball although I don't enjoy it near as much as college basketball.
In Kentucky's First Congressional District our Congressman Exxon Ed Whitfield has plenty of friends. Unfortunately, since he doesn't live in our district most of them are not from here. He holds our seat due to owning an empty lot in Madisonville, and because his father lives in Hopkinsville. Gee, I thought he had under-achieved in his service to this district, but a man Whitfield's age that still lives with his dad? Or does he pitch a million-dollar tent on his vacant lot?
We can defeat Exxon Ed Whitfield if we get the resources to let our district know about the great candidate we have, Heather Ryan, and the horrible record Exxon Eddie has compiled in defense of Corporate America.
We are oh so close to $5000 raised online alone. We have had 100 online contributors at an average of just under $50 a piece. Talk about grassroots fundraising!! Our supporters can't afford the thousands upon thousands of dollars heaped on Whitfield by Corporate America, but we are just as proud of every grassroots donation we recieve.
Why not join Americans for Ryan and help us defeat Exxon Ed Whitfield? Every contribution puts us one step closer to that goal, and we are just as proud of the $5 contribution as the $1000 dollar one. Please, help us win this race here:

I am trying to get this page to $5000 by July 4, the Independence from Exxon Eddie fundraiser. Please keep your fellow grassroots Democrats in Kentucky's First in mind, and support us!! Every penney will be put to work immediately to expand our Congressional majorities for President Obama, so real progress can be achieved!!
Best wishes fellow Democrats!!
