We’re at the last day of August and on the verge of our extended Labor Day weekend, brought to us courtesy of American labor unions and the Democratic Party. And I’m reopening my campaign donation money bomb for matching donations, now through Monday, 5th September! I’ll match your campaign contributions to Democratic candidates thru 10pm US-EST.
You can give to all 33 34 candidates (1 for US President, 15 US Senate, 14 15 US House, and 3 political committees and organizations, including 20 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.
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 Thursday night, I'll connect at 11:00pm (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 75 hours. As of now, we’re starting at a base of $2,862 in the pool,
courtesy of some VERY GENEROUS contributions during the RNC earlier in August. So let's see if we can hit $5,000 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 two dozen outstanding Democratic candidates for US Senate and US House seats.
Thank you in advance for your generous support - now let's help elect some great Democrats!
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!
