John,
Ok so last night we sent out an email announcing our goal of reaching 9,031 contributions by midnight on August 31. Here’s where we’re at:
Charts! They’re good! 2,598 contributions down -- whatever 9,031 minus that number is left to go (I’m bad at math sorry)! I’m stoked, John. I wasn’t sure we’d be able to hit this goal, but now it’s looking increasingly likely if we can keep up the pace.
Every campaign’s gotta raise money. I’m proud of the way we do it. Our money is coming from “The People.” People like you giving to emails like this one. We aren’t kowtowing to DC lobbyists or big political action committees. We don’t have a super PAC bankrolling us on the side.
It’s just me, and you, and Jessica from Allen, TX (hi Jessica!). It’s Neal in Los Angeles, CA (hi Neal!) and Mary in Morton Grove, IL (hi Mary!) and Artemis from El Paso, TX (hi Artemis!). That’s who funds this campaign -- and it’s a pretty dang special group of people who are ready to build a new kind of politics.
