Kerry's Cool 5 Million

Now that the Convention is over and everyone has had a chance to deal with the elevated terror alert, let's back track to one of the greatest milestones in internet and politics that took place last week.

According to the Kerry campaign, the candidate raised more than $5 million in online donations last Thursday, the day Kerry accepted the nomination.

That's 5 times much as John McCain did in 2000 and 1.5 times as much as Kerry did on the last day of the filing period in June.

To put it another way, in a single day online -- Kerry raised almost 3% of his total $185 million since January. You can tell Howard Dean that's something to scream about.

The Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan

Please read this blog and do something to help stop the genocide in Sudan. At the very least, use the links you'll find in the right-hand column of the blog to send a quick letter to a member of Congress (or the U.N. High Commission). Thanks! ~ Jason Begalke
