Max Linn launches "Must Change Congress" fundraising site

JULY 19, 2008

Max Linn's new fundraising Web site, titled "Must Change Congress," ties his effort to Sen. Barack Obama's run for the presidency.

The site argues that people need to help folks like Max Linn get elected so that Republican congressmen (read: U.S. Rep. Bill Young) don't stand in Obama's way. The site features a picture of Linn with Obama, who is holding Linn's self-published book "2008: America's Turning Point," news about Obama, and quotes from him. One page of the site shows Republican congressmen and women and links to their opponents.

The site defines itself thus: "Must Change Congress.org and the Million Person
March is a political online movement/march of people contributing
financially to help support Democratic candidates that are running
against destructive, road blocking key Republicans. These Republican
representatives have pledged to stop Barack Obama’s policies of change
and must be voted out."

Click on donate and read the fine print to learn that your money's going to Max Linn for Congress.
