Well, that was quick! Less than 48 hours after we announced our offer to match the first $1,500 of donations to either Barack Obama or our favorite congressional candidates, you stepped up to the plate and did us proud. Congratulations to everyone! Here’s the breakdown of where our matching funds went:
Barack Obama (President): $565.00
Mark Begich (AK-Sen): $70.00
Bruce Lunsford (KY-Sen): $10.00
Al Franken (MN-Sen): $105.00
Jeanne Shaheen (NH-Sen): $110.00
Kay Hagan (NC-Sen): $120.00
Elwyn Tinklenberg (MN-06): $190.00
Carol Shea-Porter (NH-01): $100.00
Darcy Burner (WA-08): $60.00
Equality for All (CA “No on 8”): $170.00
Total: $1,500.00
I only wish that the three of us were wealthier so that we could keep matching your donations. But the fact that we can’t doesn’t mean you should stop now! All of these candidates — as well as CA’s “No on 8” committee — are worthy of your support, and many of them represent spectacular opportunities to replace truly regressive Republicans with superb progressives who will help move the country in the right direction.
UPDATE (Wednesday afternoon): Despite having reached our match, the donations continue to come in! In the last few hours we’ve recorded another $500 for Barack Obama and another $150 for several of our ActBlue candidates. Excellent work!
