She now has an Act Blue account so we can track our donations. A donation by Saturday midnight counts toward the important quarterly fund-raising report.

If you can't afford a small donation please reply and R this post for visibility.

7. Have bookmarked the site for end-of-month giving. I think it's...

... exciting to participate in down ballot fund raising through DU. although I'm not sure a house seat is exactly "down ballot...." ???

[Pacifist Patriot]

11. I will have...

FEDERAL
US Senate
US House of Representatives

STATE
Governor
Lieutenant Governor
Attorney General
Treasurer
Agriculture commissioner
Florida Senate

above me. I'm thinking I'll be "mid-ballot."

18. I despise Act Blue and avoid them like the plague, but will gladly send a contribution in the mail.

It will take a few days to get there in the mail from here, I'm afraid--may or may not make it by Saturday.

20. Already stamped and delivered to the Deutsche Post.

Cost me all of 90 Euro cents for the stamp to the USA. She gets the rest.

And yes, I did remember to include the required name, address, occupation and employer, in case she asks.

[Omaha Steve]

22. Thank YOU

I didn't think to mention the important employer etc.

21. Thank you, I appreciate you taking the extra steps to do that!

23. I had to, so it was no sweat

Over a certain amount, you are required to ask contributors for that information, so you would have had to end up asking me anyway. I just figured I'd save you the trouble. You have bigger fish to fry.

24. Get in before the midnight deadline

25. I just kicked in $50

Her district is about 80 miles east of me. It is a highly educated district. Maybe she can get some of these habitual republicans voters to actually think about their votes.

Love to see it flip!

28. what is act blue ? do not know act blue.

29. Here is a short answer

Act Blue is a PAC that that allows fund raising for D's across the country to donate to a candidate/cause in one easy location. My local county party sells tickets to it's annual fundraiser on Act Blue is an example.

$2,171,208,666 RAISED ONLINE SINCE 2004 (and counting by the minute)

Innovative tools + the power of millions
ActBlue is a nonprofit, building fundraising technology for the left. Our mission is to democratize power and help small-dollar donors make their voices heard in a real way.

We develop top-of-the-line fundraising software and offer simple, intuitive tools to help campaigns and organizations connect with new and existing grassroots donors. As a result, nonprofits thrive and Democratic campaigns get more donations through ActBlue than any other platform. Together, we build powerful movements.

How do we make that happen? Well, first we test and retest our contribution forms to maximize conversion rates. We make it as easy as possible to give, no matter where the donor is, or on what device they’re using. And we make it free for campaigns and organizations — no tricks or add-ons. And with a top-notch tech team, our tools are always dependable, and we’re always working to upgrade them.

That’s why a majority of Democratic Senate and House campaigns — along with the DCCC, DSCC, DGA, over one-third of statewide campaigns, and advocacy organizations around the country — have chosen ActBlue.

But we’re so much more than a toolset.

Together, we’ve raised 2,171,203,780 dollars for Democrats and progressive causes in just 13 years. We’ve built more than just a fundraising platform. We’ve created the kind of grassroots power that can take on, and beat back, the power of corporate spending and secretive super PACs.

And that’s the difference that ActBlue makes to candidates, organizations, and the supporters who champion them.

The fine print we’re willing to shout from the rooftops:
ActBlue acts as a conduit federally and in most states, which means we provide the infrastructure for campaigns and organizations to fundraise online, but we don’t fundraise on behalf of anyone. Unlike groups that spend large sums of cash from undisclosed sources, ActBlue offers grassroots donors a way to give fully disclosed donations to the candidates and causes they choose.
