{First, a quick plug for my blog Senate Guru.}
As we await the historic vote on health care reform, it’s important to remember that we’re just ten days away from the end of the first fundraising quarter of 2010. The fundraising totals reported in this quarter will be pivotal to determining the tenor of many races for the rest of the year. If there is any time to contribute, now is the time!
Please head over to the Expand the Map! ActBlue page and contribute whatever you are able to these terrific Democratic candidates for Senate.
| Democrat | Currently At | End-of-Quarter Goal | Distance to Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kendrick Meek | |||
| Bill Halter | |||
| Joe Sestak | |||
| Paul Hodes | |||
| Robin Carnahan |
Remember, the contribution you can make isn’t just a donation to a single candidate or political campaign. It’s an investment against Republican obstruction (and conservaDem enabling) and an investment toward achieving that more perfect union.
That this sort of diary is a good use of the Swing State Project. We recently wrote about our guidelines on the front page. We expect diaries to contain thoughtful discussions of newsworthy developments or original analysis of topics relevant to the mission here. This is not to say that diaries related to fundraising are inappropriate – to the contrary, this is a very good example of a solid SSP diary. But a lot of people work very hard on their diaries, and it doesn’t seem fair that they should have their work pushed off the list for status updates on an ActBlue page.
Thanks for your understanding.
