  Team — We’ll keep this quick.  At midnight tonight, our mid-quarter fundraising deadline will expire. These deadlines are so critical because every quarter, the FEC requires us to report our fundraising numbers — both the amount we raised, and the number of donors — and those report…

How it feels to fail

  Folks, No one knows more than I how frustrating it can be to work hard on an issue and have it come up short.  Multiple times this year we’ve seen a critical piece of legislation — one that has the potential to help millions of folks — fail because it just can’t get the votes. Earli…
