I sincerely hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day weekend and that as the September campaigning season is heating up to get started, you’re all looking forward to a new campaign slogan, set of t-shirt designs and campaign bumper stickers based on #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner.
Over the past three days, we’ve had a FABULOUS start to our Moneybomb, landing over $3,800 in donations to strong Democratic candidates since Wednesday night. Now, we are on to day #4, the penultimate day, of this Labor Day Weekend-long campaign donation money bomb, with matching donations, through 10pm US-EST Monday, 5th September and I’m matching your campaign contributions to Democratic candidates.
You can give to all 42 candidates (1 for US President, 15 US Senate, 23 US House, and 3 political committees and organizations, including 23 female candidates — details below), or simply choose to give to your favorites. But I’m matching donations to allow you to give what you can to your favorite Democratic candidates right now.
Attention (Democratic Party-supporting) Shoppers: I WILL MATCH CONTRIBUTIONS TO DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES THROUGH MONDAY EVENING.
From now until Thursday at 10pm (US-EDT), I am providing a 25% match* on all of your donations (up to a maximum of $400) on
my ActBlue fundraising page.
[*: Truth in advertising — I reached my $400 matching funds cap Wednesday evening. I will be adding my contribution of that amount at the close of our Moneybomb weekend.]
With the candidacy of Donald Trump offending people across the political spectrum, there has never been a better chance for the Democrats to pick up seats in both the US Senate and House of Representatives, possibly taking majorities in both houses. And this is
your chance to help make that possible.
You can pick the candidate(s) of your choice from my list and donate what you can. It's simple, secure, one-stop shopping for excellent Democratic candidates!
On Monday night, I'll connect at 10:00pm (US-EDT) and bump the number donated today by 25%. So your $40 donation becomes $50, and so on, right on up to an aggregate of $1,600 contributed by the communal "you" over the next four days.
When we began Wednesday evening, we started at a base of $2,862 in the pool,
courtesy of some VERY GENEROUS contributions during the RNC in July. In our first three nights, we’ve already added over $3,800 to Democratic campaign coffers for candidates for President, Senate, House and campaign committees. So, now let's see if we can hit
$5,000 $10,000 by Monday night!
For those of you who are new to this, I did the same thing in the 2012 campaign season and collectively we gave $11,440 to the candidates, with a whopping 70+% win-rate factor. Now, not only can you donate to Secretary Clinton’s campaign
on this page, but you can give to any of over three dozen outstanding Democratic candidates for US Senate and US House seats.
So Who’s Who on
my ActBlue fundraising page? Here’s a list of some great Democratic candidates who can help keep the White House in sane hands with Hillary Clinton and also return the Senate and House to BLUE status as well!
