I see a Colorado Springs area code. Who the hell is calling me from Colorado Springs? I pick up the phone.

"Hello, this is Jay Fawcett."

I wait for the rest of the robocall. After a about a second, I realize that it is Jay Fawcett.

I say, "How ya doing?

"Good, we're trying to beat..."

I interupt, "How much does it show I've given you?" I know I've given to Trauner, Tester, Paccione, Ritter, and the ACLU, but I can't remember if I thought about giving to Fawcett or actually did give.

"Nothing, yet."

"How about a hundred and I'll let you get on to the next call"

"How about $500?" Gotta love his moxie.

"I can do a hundred right now. I'll hit Actblue. OK?"

"Thank You."

"Keep kicking ass."

"I will."

I ended up giving him $250 through Actblue, and I'd love to see everyone that can, match me. He's hammering the phones to turn one of the reddest districts in the country blue and WE can give him the funds to get it done. CO CD-5 needs Jay Fawcett and America needs him to win.

Give 'til hurts. Walk 'til hurts. As a famous cajun said, "We can doo it."
