MT-Sen: Today is the Last Day of the Quarter!

Posted by DavidNYC

Totally awesome - we just went over our most recent goal of 60 contributors! And on top of that, we hit an even $2000 for Jon Tester on our ActBlue page. It looks like one generous donor (#62) decided to "top us up" and give us the exact amount we'd need to his $2000 on the nose.

As the title indicates, today is the last day of the third quarter. Soon, the Tester campaign will announce its fundraising totals and file official documents with the FEC. Naturally, there are only a few end-of-quarter announcements in any given campaing season, and each one is important. Money still means a whole lot in politics, and a good showing in any given quarter can mean a lot to a candidate: Positive media coverage, which can lead to the appearance of having good "momentum," which can in turn lead to more volunteers, supporters and contributors - a very virtuous cycle, in other words.

So please help Jon Tester score big this quarter. And remember, in a state like Montana, where the cost of doing business in general is low, your dollars go very far. Join us if you can - this pickup opportunity is as good as any, and you certainly won't find a better candidate anywhere in the nation.

Jon Tester (MT-Sen)	$

UPDATE (David): Phenomenal! Not only have we hit 66 contributors - twenty more than when we started this end-of-quarter push - but one mega-super-generous donor has plunked down $2000! Our total now stands at $4107.25. And like I say, that kind of scrilla should do a lot in the Last Best Place.

UPDATE (David): Wow - 68 contributors. I just tossed in $25.01 myself. Can we hit 70 by tonight? If memory serves, the end of the "day" is probably midnight Pacific time (or at the very least, Mountain time), meaning we have until 2 or 3am Eastern to get two more donors. Let's do it!

Why can't I get the "Tester Poster" link to work. I've tried three different browsers and tried multiple attacks and can't seem to get anywhere but,

"We're sorry

It looks like the page you're looking either doesn't exist or has moved. Please try the links to the left to get to the place that you're looking for. Sorry about any problems."

Is the link supposed to take me to http://www.testerforsenate.com/pjposters/

'cause that ain't happening.

Bill, not sure what link you are talking about. The only links in the post go to Tester's main web page and our Act Blue page. If there's a problem with a Tester campaign site link, you'll need to contact them, naturally.

It is the link Ad on the left with Jon's mug on a poster.

Awesome news about a $2,000 donation. That makes my weekend.

Good catch, Bill. I just sent an e-mail to Matt Singer - hopefully he can fix it right quick.

Fixing it. BlogAds must be experiencing heavy traffic.

The correct address is http://www.testerforsenate.com/posters/

Sorry for the confusion.
