Every Saturday I take my turn at writing the Good News Roundup.
This week I started a new fundraising initiative. I made an ActBlue fund that divided up donations to the 38 House seats rated as most likely to determine control of the House. We win most of these seats and we continue Biden’s agenda.
We lose these seats and the agenda grinds to a halt, Marjorie Taylor Greene starts chairing committees and the House has nonstop hearings on Hunter Biden.
So, you know, big stakes and all.
Anyway, I set up this fund Saturday morning. I debated where to put the goal — I usually start with $5000 and move up from there (if possible) but I thought $38,000 would be great since that would put $1000 in every campaign coffer. Remember, as well funded as Senate raises are, House candidates have a tougher time raising money.
I figured that $38,000 would give us a goal to work towards all the way to November. It would be aspirational.
By the end of the day Saturday, we had already raised 31,000.
As of this morning, we have surpassed our goal and are at $39,498. We have sent over $1000 to each campaign.
We did that in four days.
I have already had one campaign manager reach out to thank me and to find out who the heck we are. I am sure others are grateful as well.
As for me, I am blown away. I am filled with gratitude and hope and appreciation.
I’ve made it my goal, on DailyKos, to bring hope to anyone looking for it for over five years here. I know I’ve received way more hope and encouragement over those years than I’ve given — this community is amazing -- but this one really takes the cake.
This is who we are. This is the hope that we have. This is how dedicated we are.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to the hundreds of you who donated.
If you didn’t donate and you want to, here is the link:
