Heather Ryan is the latest Progressive Patriot at the Progressive Patriot’s Fund.
As a result, her campaign will receive $5,000– a much-needed boost for chapping Floridian Ed Whitfield’s ass.
From Russ Feingold:
I’m proud to announce that the Progressive Patriots community has chosen House challenger Heather Ryan as our fourth ‘Progressive Patriot’ of 2008. With thousands of our online community participating, Heather received the most votes and today we’ll be sending her campaign a $5,000 contribution.
Heather Ryan is running a grassroots campaign in the Bluegrass state of Kentucky. A veteran of the United States Navy, Heather has long been a vocal opponent of the war in Iraq and will be an advocate for working families in Kentucky and across the nation.
Let’s give her something the Kentucky Democratic Party won’t give her: a round of applause.
Hop on over to Heather’s website to throw some money her way.

how will the KDP spin this when she got enough votes to win the $5K.. how much more grassroots support does she have to have?

Heather Ryan is the candidate that Kentucky progressives have been impatiently waiting for. She doesn’t need to prove that she understands the challenges facing the citizens of Western Kentucky because she faces those challenges every day. Ed Whitfield isn’t worried about losing his home in the First Congressional District because he doesn’t live in the First Congressional District. Ed Whitfield isn’t worried about the price of gas in Western KY because he owns a half million dollars of Exxon and Chevron stock. Ed Whitfield doesn’t care about the WKY veteran who has to leave the state to get to her nearest VA clinic because Ed Whitfield has the best healthcare your money can buy. “Exxon” Ed Whitfield shares only one fear with his constituents and that is the fear of losing his job.
Ed Whitfield seems to think that because he represents the Purchase that his votes are for sale. Heather Ryan will end the practice of auctioning off WKY’s voice in Congress to the highest bidder. Heather Ryan will return ownership of congress to the people, the rightful owners of Ed Whitfield’s seat of power. If you can’t vote for her, show your support by giving money until the bank calls.
