We had a great quarter.
The Chicago Daily Herald has the story after the flip:
Foster leads cash race in 14th Congressional
Democrat Bill Foster appears to be a front-runner in the 14th Congressional fundraising race, having amassed an estimated $408,000 campaign war chest during the most recent period, he told supporters in a conference call Tuesday.
More than 80 percent of Foster's donors are first-time donors, and nearly three-quarters are scientists like Foster, a former Fermilab physicist.

More than 650 individual donors contributed to Foster's campaign this quarter and the average contribution is $315, according to a campaign spokesman. This is his first run for political office.
~emphasis ours~
Bill is running to represent Illinois' 14th District; an open seat race to replace Dennis Hastert, who has announced his retirement.
Although early money is important, Bill's campaign is also about change and responsibility. Bill is a renown scientist who works with facts, and that's a desparately needed change from the fiction we have been fed for the past six years. Take a look at this video for his views on the Iraq War:
We are proud of our effort and this is a great first step to victory in the 14th. Find out more about our campaign. Visit our Web Site and sign up to get involved.
