Go Ciro!

Well, I finally got off my kiester and contributed to Ciro Rodriguez' campaign. He's running for Congress in Texas' 28th district against incumbent "Democrat" Henry Cuellar, who's been endorsed by the Club for Growth (their first-ever endorsement of a Republican). I've blogged about "The Mole" Cuellar here and here. Everyone and his mother is devoting resources to the March 7 race, a Democratic primary in a district with no Republican challenger. The Change to Win labor federation has launched ads, and NARAL has endorsed Ciro as well.

And polling suggests the trend is in Ciro's favor.

I was extremely happy to give some spare change to the race. Nothing will strengthen our party more than to have the Democrats we elect be real Democrats, committed to real progressive values.
