Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

As Jonathan Stein pointed out earlier, the Obama campaign is leaving no constituent behind. The campaign has purchased ad space in a slew of online Xbox 360 games, including Madden NFL 09 and Burnout Paradise, in 10 battleground states.

If the Obama ads nudge swing-state gamers to participate in early voting, will McCain then follow Obama’s online lead?

Click here for one blogger’s rendition of what McCain’s Xbox ads might look like. Once he gets over that pesky case of technophobia, anyway.
