Friend-of-the-blog Cecil Bothwell, an openly atheist City Council member in Asheville, North Carolina, is running for Congress in 2012.
He’s also trying to win a scholarship to the Take Back the Dream Conference and he needs your help:

Democracy for America and Rebuild the Dream have teamed up to send 30 progressive activists to the Take Back the Dream Conference. The conference is spearheaded by the Campaign for America’s Future in partnership with Rebuild the Dream and Moveon.org.
On Oct 3 – 5 thousands of progressives will convene in DC to continue to build the American Dream movement, pushing for progressive reform. Activists who might not otherwise be able to afford the conference are encouraged to apply for a scholarship.
