MA-05 matching challenge: time to pony up!

October 9, 2007 By David 14 Comments

OK, it’s crunch time.  In less than a week, the polls open for the MA-05 special election.  I have every confidence that Niki Tsongas is going to win, and win pretty comfortably.  But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to do your part.

So here’s a BMG matching challenge.  I’ll match the next $500 that show up for Niki on our ActBlue page.  Give whatever you can afford — $5 is fine, as is the whole $500.  Already given?  Give again.

Let’s see how fast we can do this.  Oh, and there are other awesome Dems on our page — send them some love while you’re at it!

Please share widely!

    Since you seem to have other New England dems on your page, why not Carol Shea-Porter, the big grassroots surprise of 2006 in New England?  She’s running for her first re-election next year, in a state that until recently was sorta Republican, and she rocks.

          you're looking at the box where donors enter how much they're going to give. Lowell Sun has the Kerry Act Blue campaign generating $10,000 for Niki.

            On the blue bar where on every other ACTBlue page one would see how much has been raised. JFK’s says NOTHING.

              Can you possibly think that a nationwide appeal from Senator Kerry would yield nothing?  Not a single donor willing to chip in five bucks?

              Come on — don’t be a dolt.  For whatever reason the Kerry ActBlue page doesn’t list a total.  I don’t know why, but it doesn’t.  The fact that you can delete and fill in whatever number you want for the 0.00 you’re seeing should tell you something.

              because, for whatever reason, they choose not to publicize the total dollars collected on that page.  You cannot possibly think that they have collected zero.

                Was he scared that he wouldn’t raise a lot.  I’m sorry but $10,000 raised by a sitting US Senator aint a whole heck of a lot.  Little Ol EaBo was one of two people that have raised $20,000 via rightroots.com

Furious and heartbroken that MA will limp forward after the pandemic with the same broken #localpublichealth system. How is it OK to let zip code decide health protections? #mapoli https://commonwealthmagazine.org/politics/lawmakers-advocates-hit-bakers-opt-in-approach-to-public-health/

@TheLeoTerrell Why?

Search Warrants have a process that was followed. Is Trump above the law?

Why Trump didn’t collaborate? Since January he has been warned. What is he hiding?

Why the FBI was good against Hillary but bad against Trump?

Is Trump above the law?

This guy believed Republican officials and Fox News Hosts who said @FBI and DOJ weaponized a search warrant against @realDonaldTrump. Armed with a nail gun and an AR-15 he went to the Cincinnati FBI Field Office where he died. He believed Trump about election 2020 too #mapoli
