Opportunities for political contributions

So that I may properly transfer the incredible support, energy and resources of my campaign to the eventual Democratic nominee, I need you, one of my most loyal and generous supporters, to help today. The costs of shutting down a national organization are costly.

As he puts it, "the costs ... are costly." It's hard to say it clearer than that.

And if you still have donation funds left over, Howard Dean -- having spent about $41 million worth of donations before the primaries started -- is looking for more donations now that the primaries, for him, are finished:

Can you help by making a small contribution today?" Dean asked in his Tuesday e-mail. "I won't suggest a specific amount: $250, $100 or even $50 would be appreciated.

Even $50 would be appreciated, though it sounds like that might be the lower bound on the appreciation meter. And if you still have a bit more you wish to unload, there's the Bush campaign -- they lost some momentum at about $250 million or so and could use a boost.

There is no shortage of ways to participate in democracy.
