What this means is I know need to find another thing we can do to help our candidates win this election, we may not be like the Teachers union that can drop over $50,000 into one race (and they have money going into lots of races) but we can do things selectively that can counter those funds with small well timed movements.  It's not always about the money, it's also about the message and how the boots on the ground work. 

You would not believe the waste I have seen in some campaigns, upsizing a mail piece by 1/2" and quadrupling the mailing cost because a campaign manager gets a kickback from the printer.

I have received in kind donations to produce lists of voters to target (no wasting money on sending mail to people that it would not have an effect on, or worse yet cause to go against our candidate), on using some of the best and most current voter polling information available to help develop the message, and assistance from some of the nation’s top people on putting that message together.

So the donations you are making, because of the in kind donations we are getting, and the support we have from others to reduce costs, we are able to make a $5 donation do $25 worth of work.

Andy, can you send Critter a receipt for his large cash donation, as I assume it would have to come from the PAF

A huge THANK YOU to each & everyone that contributed!

Not to name names.......but...... Thanks to Dan W, Gumby, Rick, B Koenig, Abbafandr, AWick, OnTheFly, Farmer Bob, ThirtyDaze, Critter, Robert H, Greg, & SandHillian!

I will be making my $125 matching donation tomorrow...Long story short, my new job doesn't offer direct deposit...I made a special trip to deposit my paycheck last night & missed the cutoff time....

Individually we might struggle to get results....but as an organized group, we are a force to be reckoned with!

I should be there, Andy may be in attendance, Rod....  Some one there will take your money. 
But we'd better get it early before the DR. Pepper and Bacon start flowing

Got my contribution processed! 

Not trying to brag but I thought I'd post it for those of you who matched me! 

Just a reminder.....Amanda Mcgill only won her senate seat in 2010 by 452 votes!

Let's hope she loses the auditor race by 10 or 100 times that.  Her political career needs to come to a screeching halt NOW.
