Update [2006-10-10 18:17:00 by by foot]: We have passed
six eight 13 16 hundred bucks raised today! (10/11/2006 -- final tally over $1600)
Alright, you've seen the
news on the
Denver Post poll. Jay Fawcett is even in the polls with his opponent in the conservative 5th District of Colorado. He can be the next representative from CO-05 -- and will be, if he has the resources he needs to do the outreach and advertising he needs.
The double bonus is that in winning this seat, he'll also force the Rs to spend a big war chest on a weak candidate, and that's money that can't be used elsewhere.
The triple bonus is that Jay Fawcett winning in CO-05 will be a strong signal to the James Dobsons of the world -- it's the home district for Focus on the Family.
The premise of this diary is simple. Jay Fawcett needs resources to win. If you'll help, I'll help.
I really want to see Jay win this seat. He's an outstanding candidate and will be a dedicated public servant for the entire 5th District. He has deep roots in the district. He's a veteran who has a perspective on military and veterans issues that is severely lacking in the majority in Congress right now. He's one of our
netroots candidates. And, he's a hell of a nice guy, unlike
his opponent.
So. At each of the first five $500 marks we hit today, I'll kick in another hundred bucks. That's the first five hundred bucks.
If we hit $10,000 today, I'll kick in another five hundred.
Jay Fawcett needs to be in DC to serve this country. Can you help send him?
