We Need Your Help.

Absent meaningful campaign finance reform, it costs a lot of money to run a campaign. There’s no way around it. A grassroots campaign has the huge advantage of lots of willing volunteers which is why they cost less (and why corporate campaigns have to outspend us to win, in any race). We’re bare bones. At this point the only printed materials are lapel stickers, bumper stickers business cards with bullet points, tri-fold brochures and this Web site address. We’re working with direct contact instead of media buys. But we still need dollars.

I will not accept corporate donations, or donations from corporate Political Action Committees. This campaign will be “voter owned.”

Will you help?

Thanks for all you do. Many small donors can push back against the power of big money and restore democracy in our community and the world. Choose ActBlue, PayPal or check.

Here’s the ActBlue link. You can choose a level from $5 up, and one time or monthly.

You can also donate with these PayPal buttons.

If you donate via PayPal, please include your Job Title and Employer in the space available for comment. (We’ve been responding to donors with requests for this info, but with the sudden flood of donations, it would help if you included that info.)

Donors

Thanks to all of you who kicked in early. Early money is really important in a grassroots campaign.

So far there have been more than 1,100 donations made to this campaign with an average of a bit under $57 each. That’s the kind of grass roots support that made our Asheville campaign a success. Rock on!
