If you’re wondering why everyone is desperately hitting you up for money today, it’s because it’s the end of the fundraising quarter. Federal campaigns have to tally up their earnings for the quarter and report them to the FEC. Spending decisions, media buzz, party support, and candidate moral all hinge, in huge part, in what numbers these campaigns report.
So no more procrastination. Today, give to your favorite campaigns. Even if it’s just , it’s important to get engaged. The money is important, but it’s also helpful for campaigns to brag about the number of contributors. So even if you feel like you’re not helping out the bottom line with your , you’re helping out with the number of supporters. And remember, a lot of or donations add up.
We will soon be expanding our roster of candidates in the Orange to Blue ActBlue fundraising page, but for now, we have one VERY important one: Arkansas’ Bill Halter.
This is the only way to send a message to obstructionist Democrats in the Senate that you won’t tolerate them obstructing and watering down the progressive agenda. Seriously, if you’re angry that the health care reform law lacks a public option, remember t:
Let me be perfectly clear. I am opposed to a new government administered health care plan as a part of comprehensive health insurance reform, and I will not vote in favor of the proposal that has been introduced by Leader Reid as it is written…. I’ve already alerted the Leader and I’m promising my colleagues that I’m prepared to vote against moving to the next stage of consideration as long as a government-run public option is included.”
She even BRAGGED about that obstructionism in her first ad of the campaign, which we remixed here:
We’re looking for 1,800 total contributors from Daily Kos by the end of the day. That’s just 180 more contributors. Please help us send a message to Senate obstructionists. If you don’t, they’ll feel emboldened to do worse.
