Liberal Groups Edge Toward $2 Million for Recall Efforts
http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/weigel/archive/2011/03/10/the-big-liberal-money-headed-to-wisconsin.aspx

National liberal groups intervening in Wisconsin claim to be raising close to $2 million for ads that would bolster Democratic efforts to recall as few as three or as many as eight Republican senators. As of this morning, according to Ben Smith, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Democracy for America had raised $750,000. As of this afternoon, MoveOn's ActBlue page for the recall reports around $860,000 of donations from around 27,000 people; the Daily Kos page reports around $340,000 from around 12,500.

5. No prob. :)
I did the same for Minnesota Public Radio. $10 from 1,000,000 people spends the same as $10Million from one person, and we outnumber the billionaires.
