People For the American Way is running a competition among 24 progressive candidates for the House. When their Voters Alliance launched the effort last week it was announced that whichever candidate brought in the most dollars for their campaign would win the PFAW prize money on top of that. Since then supporters of Judy Feder (D-VA), Gary Peters (D-MI), Russ Warner (D-CA), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Eric Massa (D-NY), Dennis Shulman (D-NJ), and Mark Schauer (D-MI) have been especially active. Judy's campaign, for example, already collected over $15,000.

Today Debbie-Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Bruce Braley (D-IA) and Artur Davis (D-AL), the chairs of the DCCC Red to Blue program, got together and decided to sweeten the pot and make sure there were more winners. They matched the People For the American Way contribution and established two runner up prizes, for the candidate who brings in the most donors (regardless of amount) and for the candidate who brings in the second most donors (also regardless of amount). That's unique donors-- so your "vote" only works once for that category.

These 24 candidates are the real thing, men and women imbued with a spirit of public service who are eager to work with Barack Obama to bring the real change that America needs after the catastrophe of the reactionary Bush agenda. See if there's anyone on the list you'd like to help get into Congress.
