Is it just a coincidence that we're marking the 50th anniversary of the Missiles of October? Election 2012 is so close that it's starting to feel like a similar case of World Saved or World Doomed.
But here's the difference: Unlike the US-Soviet showdown in 1962, you don't have to sit passively by and wait to hear if Armageddon approaches. You can take action. Join the ground game — phone voters, knock on doors — and give money. In fact, we cats have made the latter option easy for you. Here goes!
If you're a woman and you don't want Richard Mourdock or Todd Akin to control your destiny — including your access to affordable, insurance-covered healthcare services and abortion even (or perhaps especially) if you are raped — send some money to Joe Donnelly of Indiana here, or Claire McCaskill of Missouri here.
If you want to put an Iraq war hero in Congress, and send Joe "Women Never Die In Childbirth" Walsh packing, contribute to Tammy Duckworth of Illinois here.
If you're tired of rich Republican women pretending to be liberal in a blue state, shoot some money Chris Murphy's way here.
If you believe that a guy who calls a person of color "macaca" to his face has no business in the US Senate, make a donation to Tim Kaine of Virginia here.
If you think that Tammy Baldwin is cool, or just that Tommy Thompson and his birther son are assholes, click here.
If you want to beat back the moneyed interests and protect workers' rights in Ohio, make a gift to Sherrod Brown here.
If you want the Democrats to hang onto our Senate seat in Big Sky Country, send some love Jon Tester's way here.
If you're tired of Scott Brown's cute naked hypocritical butt in Ted Kennedy's Senate seat, send Elizabeth Warren a few bucks here.
If you think it would be neat to see a scrappy Democratic woman beat a Neanderthal Republican in North Dakota, donate to Heidi Heitkamp here.
If you want to help snub Willard Mitt Romney in the battleground state of Nevada (and encourage all that fun Republican chaos there), support Shelley Berkley for Senate by clicking here.
If you'd like to make John McCain pay for his stupid "build the dang wall" TV commercial, you can help make Rich Carmona his fellow Senator from Arizona with a visit to here.
If you want to see Bob Kerrey back on Capitol Hill, you can contribute to him here.
If you're sick of angry white teabaggers and the hijacking of the Gadsden flag, help out Bob Casey of Pennsylvania here.
If you never want to see or hear Allen West again, send money to Patrick Murphy by visiting here.
Remember, it doesn't have to be a lot — as little as five dollars will do. And you won't have to pledge to remove your obsolete missiles from Turkey later. We cats PURR.
