Stephen Colbert has challenged the nation to “vote” in the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary by funding a Pennsylvania classroom project in honor of either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama (or, if you’re undecided, both!)

Last fall, the Colbert Nation gave $66,000 to South Carolina classrooms in support of Stephen’s presidential run. As of high noon today, donors have given $37,158 in honor of their favorite candidate! Do Senators Clinton and Obama have the keystones to do for the Keystone State what the Colbert Nation did for the Palmetto State? Let’s find out. Right now Obama is in the lead — this is your chance to show your support in the “straw poll that makes a difference”!

The “Democralypse!” Challenge has been picked up by The Philadelphia Inquirer, dotCommonweal, I’ve Made a Huge Tiny Mistake, and End Politics as Usual. We’re sure there will be more linkage coming as Colbert heads to Philadelphia.

  1. Everyone in PA should be aware that Obama supporters met the goal early last week. The goal has been upped to $100,000 for children in PA schools and they have contributed over $86,000. As of 3/29 HRC supporters have given $15,000. PA teachers and parents need to look at who really cares about the children.
