As many of you know, my Dad is
Jack Carter, who's running for US Senate in Nevada. If you've followed my
posts, you know that I am very bad at asking for money. In fact, I often rely on some kind soul in the comments to direct people to the contribution page on my Dad's website.
So, I'm really sorry, but if I never asked you for money, I wouldn't be doing my job as the netroots coordinator for my Dad's campaign.
Um . . . so . . . here it is:
Please donate to my Dad's campaign by clicking on the "Bet on Jack" banner.
The "Bet on Jack" banner will be updated frequently. We're really hoping that we can get it up to $50,000 by June 30, the end of the FEC fundraising quarter. Right now, we're at $13,679.53.
We've got a ways to go -- the way we'll get there is by having each person give what they can. We'll be grateful for even the smallest donations. If you've thought about contributing, but haven't yet, now is the time. If you've contributed before, but can afford to give a little bit more, please do so. If you're all tapped out, you can help by recommending this diary.
We need to translate the momentum we feel on the ground into dollars so that the powers-that-be will know that this campaign is taking off. We need to harness the netroots buzz and turn it into something that folks in Washington can understand. We need to let everyone know that we've got what it takes to win this thing. Let's get to it!
Thanks so much for your support!
Sarah
Carter for Nevada
