(Bumped. Here, from my inbox, is the Obama campaign explaining why you should donate now rather than later: "Tomorrow is the financial reporting deadline for July.... Your hard work and generosity have gotten us this far, but the fact remains, our opponents still have a big fundraising advantage. They are very good at raking in huge donations, especially from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs. That's why we need to show the strength of our grassroots movement before tomorrow's deadline. Help prove that a campaign powered by people like you, giving only what they can afford, can go toe-to-toe with the Republican fundraising machine." - promoted by David)
We're making good progress on the National Anthem concert -- we're approaching 100 tickets sold and $5,000 $7,500 raised. And we've even got one regular BMGer playing in the orchestra! Many thanks to those of you who have bought tickets, who have said they would do so soon, and who have forwarded information about the concert on to their own email lists.
But we can do more! I'd love to hit 100 tickets by the end of this month (which is three days one day away). So ... if you know you're coming and just haven't gotten around to buying a ticket, now would be an excellent time to do so, and to remind your friends to do the same.
We're counting on BMG readers to be a major engine in spreading the word about this concert. As stomv has explained, we should be able to sell this thing out if everyone here taps into their own networks. Thanks, as always, for your support! |
