This is how I'll be spending my disposable income this month:
Except for my bare bones hair essentials (really this belongs in my rent/food/bills budget, but I digress), all my money is going to campaign donations for the upcoming election.
The election is in three months, so this is actually very late to donate and still make an impact. Besides the Obama campaign, where my support is pretty obvious, I chose some congressional races that might not be on everyone's radar in case people want to donate but don't feel like doing the research. Every single race I picked is eminently winnable, and I focused on California congressional districts for all the House elections, just because I'm Californian and I feel like it. The one Senate race I'll be donating to is Elizabeth Warren's, because I fucking love bitches who tell it how it is.
You can also donate to the parties' House or Senate campaign arms, the DCCC and the DSCC, if your only interest is congressional majorities. But there's a big fat caveat emptor with donating to the campaign arms, because they often funnel money into races with conservative Democrats. It's not necessarily a bad thing in Republican states and districts, but I personally prefer to have more control about where my donation is going.
