DFL Website - There is a Sixth District page, and donations can be contributed to the party-district effort.

Some prefer to pick the race and donate to candidates of their choice. In the Sixth, for the Congressional seat now there are two contenders, and until there is an endorsement party money would likely be withheld from either, (no playing favorites), or spent on generic ads pointing out weaknesses of the representation provided by the GOP Congressional incumbent. If you favor one or the other of the two, Maureen Reed or Tarryl Clark, a generic DFL-Sixth contribution would probably now be less helpful than direct contributions.

To directly contribute to Tarryl Clark, this link.

To directly contribute to Marureen Reed, this link.

The story does not end there: To support down ticket opportunity in the census year, in preparation for redistricting, either pick your race and candidate or contribute to the district for their distribution into the more promising races, or however they allocate. In Minnesota Senate or House contests where there is only one individual seeking endorsement the DFL probably is comfortable, presently, in advertising the merits of such persons, (since endorsement is inevitable where there is no contest). And contributions made now, if you can spare it, can be kept on account by the District party officials for the stretch run when money is needed for advertising, phone bank expenses [Qwest exacts its fee], and other needs in the run-up to election day.

To directly contribute to the DFL-Sixth District, this link.

For detail and the legal caveat about lobbyist or PAC money, here is a webpage screenshot, via Firefox browser with a utility that strips a lot of the confusing web stuff off, to yield images and text.



Note from the screenshot that to contribute, you go to the last link of the three given above and search the page for the gold "Donate" and "Subscribe" buttons and toggle the proper one to donate online.

Also note in the screenshot that from the link for the DFL-Sixth page, you can toggle into particular senate district pages for DFL info related to each particular district page you care to visit. If you've only visited the DFL pages occasionally it might be worth a bit of time to navigate around, and explore what's there, and where.

There are some really ugly photos of Michele Bachmann available and they found one.

Look at the cords in her neck in that photo. Someone made a deliberate choice to find an unfriendly photo to feature, as an indirect form of communication beyond the wording.
