Most of you know that Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen just really, really hates Citizens United.  In fact, he has named the big ole dumpster trash bin outback “Citizens United,” along with two of the urinals in men’s room.

You don’t have to take that on faith, either, because we got Jim Bob over at Happy Hollow Trailer Park to go in take a picture of it for us.  The third urinal is named Dubya, which kinda lets you know how much Alfredo really, really hates Citizen United.  We didn’t get a picture of that because it’s mostly smudged off from overuse.

Anyway, Alfredo has been spending his spare time working on a project to let average citizens, like you and me (and I’m just taking it on faith here that you’re average like me and not some multimillionaire looking to give me a big book contract) have a say-so in politics when we band together.

After months and months of work, Alfredo’s dream has come true.

President Obama’s reelection campaign will begin accepting donations sent by text messages this week, marking the first foray into a potentially lucrative new avenue of grass-roots fundraising for federal candidates.

The program, announced by campaign officials early Thursday, will allow supporters to send contributions of less than $50 by texting “GIVE” to 62262 — which corresponds with the letters in “Obama.”

And all this was brought about by two lawyers who thought it was a great idea to have a “Big Bang” in political contributions by regular folks at all levels of political campaigns, not just President Obama. This is a very big deal!

So, if you need a hero today, I want you to think about two lawyers who made a major difference in campaign finance.  They equaled the scales a little.  They did the hard work.  And they used Alfredo’s urinal.

If you want to leave a message for Alfredo, letting him know that his hard work is deeply appreciated by all good Americans, here’s where to do it.

Thanks to Alfredo … for everything.
