Behold the Power of the Internet...

Yesterday, I first read about Sean Tevis' bid for state representative in Kansas -- and his XKCD style story about his campaign via BoingBoing. At the time, he had about 1000 donations out of 3000 need.

Today when I check it, he had 2741 donors!

I think Kansas might be getting a new state representative real soon now...

Brilliant! Almost restores some faith in the American political system.

I gave him $10. I loved the whole idea of it. *g*

Note the Easter egg in the source code of that xkcd-style page...

Hmmm. I'm not the sort to look at source code, so I'm glad you pointed that out. That's interesting.

That's wonderful! I definitely gave him some good money for it.

We can't give money, being foreign, but I do think it's an awesome campaign, for an awesome cause.
