Goal Thermometer

Your spectacular performance on the Orange2Blue end-of-quarter efforts to help progressive House and Senate candidates is visible for all to see in the money gauge on your right. You transformed what started out as a $100,000 goal that some of us editors were unsure we could meet into a drive to raise $300,000 in five days. Loud applause. Mega-Cheers.

But we and other netroots contributors have been so successful that ActBlue crashed today and we lost three hours of crucial fund-raising time. So we can't rest on our laurels. Gotta double-down. Because the final hours have now arrived. The fiscal quarter ends tonight. And we still have $37,875 of the goal to raise, more than $4000 $6000 an hour.  

As part of this effort, you've already raised more than $20,000 each in the past 102 hours for seven candidates on the list.

However, these three still need a big push to get past the $20,000 mark:

Dan Maffei (NY-25) $19,352
Dennis Shulman (NJ-05) $13,985
Judy Baker (MO-09) $12,997

By clicking here, you can contribute to these three or any of the candidates on the Orange2Blue list. I will personally match, up to $10 each, the first 10 contributions to any of our 17 O2B candidates.

Let's shoot for $275,000 by 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
