Yesterday, the Dailykos community really came through for our campaign. Early in the morning, the editorial staff challenged the readership to secure 200 donations for the Powers for Congress and Annette Taddeo's campaign.
Throughout the day, repeated posts were front paged giving us updates and encouraging people to join in. Then, my friend, John Kerry, honored us by posting a diary of his own in support of our race in Western New York.
Last night,at 10:44 PM EDT, redrelic17 put us over the top with the 200th donation...but it didn't stop there. By midnight, the Orange 2 Blue page had registered over 220 donations for our campaign and 240 for Annette.
This diary is short on words, but long on gratitude. We are in a tough race, as brownsox outlines so well here. We also have a primary on September 9, which has really shortened our fund raising calendar.
We will be reporting in to you about our campaign and debuting our TV ads very soon.
I just wanted to stop by and say, thank you, DailyKos. Your support means a great deal to us.
