Bake back America

It's after midnight and the SOOTTAD just put another baking pan in the oven. Beer bread this time. She got the email from Moveon.org about the Bake Sale for Democracy late and is making up for lost time.

"President Bush presents himself as a man of the people, but a look at his fundraising shows otherwise. Over $95 million of his money has come in the form of bundles of $2000 checks from high-rolling CEOs and lobbyists.

So this week, we're holding a fundraiser that will highlight the contrast between Bush's big-money supporters and the hundreds of thousands of small donors on our side. On April 17th, MoveOn PAC will hold the world's largest bake sale -- an event which will show the voters and the media that while Bush has the millionaire vote locked up, we've got the grassroots on our side."

There are already brownies (fat-free for the fat-bigotshealth-conscious), chocolate afghans and bananapumpkin cranberry nut bread. She'll be at Porter Square Saturday morning; if you're in the area, stop by and buy some baked goods. (and if not, you can always look for one that's near you.)

It's for a good cause.
