Give Congressman Weiner your thanks

This post is simple, short and sweet. It's an an action piece with only one request. Call and email Congressman Weiner to offer him your thanks and support.

If you still don't know who he is from Markos' frontpage post today over at dKos, he's the guy who just made one of the most fantastic and hilarious speeches seen on the House floor, which you can view here:



As Magnifico says in the comments thread to Kos' post, Congressman Weiner is the only guy to whom Jon Stewart has sent a contribution--and now we can see why.

Quite frankly, I would vote for this guy for President in a heartbeat. If every Democratic candidate spoke as truthfully, as evisceratingly, as forcefully, and with as much disbelieving contempt for the "Republic" Party as this, we would be electorally invincible.

And not that I think a man with this much cojones really needs encouragement, but I think it would be wonderful if we all gave him a big round of applause and support--if not for him, then at very least to show the rest of the Democratic caucus the kind of support they can receive for truly speaking truth to power.

If you want to email him, his email address is: Weiner@mail.house.gov

I also called his office; it's closed over the weekend, but you can always leave a congratulatory voicemail.
