And that's more then a clever play on words.
Today is pretty much the last day to donate for media buys for this election. Candidates have to pay for the ads over the weekend on Friday (tomorrow) so funds have to be in their accounts tonight.
So with that in mind I'm going to make it easy for you. Like I've done last week, and a few times since then: you click, I donate. Over the fold for details.
This is pretty simple, I know many of you are tight on cash. The economy sucks, and you've been donating everything you can, and we're fighting megabuck donors like the Koch Bros. But we can still win races, this ain't over until we say it's over
Thanks, Bluto. But I hear you saying, "Sure, but how can I help? I'm broke!" Well, you might be broke, but I'm not. Far from it. I've got money to give and I need your help to decide where to give it. You get to choose where the money goes. Ain't democracy great? Find the candidate (or candidates) in the comments below and click 'Recommend'. I'll donate $5.00 to that candidate for each rec they receive. There are three Senate and five House races from which you can choose. I'll give up to $500.00 to any of those races.
And if you do have some extra cash I've included links to the candidate's web site, donation page, etc. We need the change found in the seat cushions but we HAVE to win this November. And that's part of the reason I'm doing this instead of just donating silently. I'm hoping to get people motivated. Apathy. Ennui. Fear. These are our enemies as much as the Teahadist. If those emotions win then we lose. We've seen more than one story about polls and LV numbers being way off. We know the MSM has been pushing the narrative that it's a done deal. But we can't fall into their trap.
And to all of those knocking on doors, calling the cranky, frustrated voters, putting up signs, and handing out flyers. Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU! For the rest of you, find some candidates and click 'Recommend'. We can, no we WILL, win next Tuesday. We're going to make Karl Rove howl with rage. We'll make Sarah Palin shriek. And we'll make the Koch Bros. and the foreign donors to the US Chamber of Shame regret all the money they wasted trying to corrupt OUR democracy.
p.s. To make sure the money reaches these great candidates tonight the voting in this diary stops at 11:00EDT/8:00PDT
Polls are closed. I need time to head to all the donation pages and enter the information. Thanks for all you stopped by and visited. Thanks to all who contributed on their own. And thanks to all who are going to work like mad to GOTFV this weekend and Monday. Tuesday is the most important day of 2010. Make it count.
The total donations are $845 to Democratic House candidates and $575 to Democratic Senate candidates. Over $1400 going to help the cause.
