$1 goes a long way

I know it may not seem like $1 is a lot, but in a grassroots campaign like ours, any amount you can give makes a big difference.   John, I know I’ve said it before, but we truly are a grassroots campaign. Instead of taking a few big checks from corporate PACs, we’re relying on…

This is who’s bankrolling Molinaro

Corporate PACs and party bosses are funding Marc Molinaro’s campaign because they know he’ll vote for whatever they want.   John, While Josh refuses to take a penny from corporate PACs, his Republican opponent, Marc Molinaro, is being bankrolled by them. Take a look: Co…
