Chap: Please Make an On-line Contribution to Webb Today

Dear Fellow Democrats, Independents, and Recovering Republicans:

The last days before a financial reporting period are a hectic time for the candidate.  While normal people (a.k.a. "voters") do not care about these results, it is a barometer that the media, both MSM and Net-based, will follow closely.

When it comes to winning Democratic primaries, I am no expert.  Ipso facto.  However, I do know that a pre-filing rush of contributors to a campaign does many things.  It raises money, it raises visibility and it raises morale. 

I was there on March 17th when Jim Webb stunned the establishment at the Fairfax County Saint Patrick's Day straw poll.  I have also been there when Jim spoke to activists and community leaders from Burke, Fairfax City and Vienna.  Finally,  I have met with him one-on-one and believe he has what it takes to win back Virginia's U.S. Senate seat.

Nothing says "momentum" more than a donation.  I have three kids, a mortgage and a wife that permanently revoked my check-writing authority after our 2005 campaign.  But some time between now and March 31st, I will find a way to suppport this candidacy by making an on-line contribution. Please join me in supporting Jim Webb by doing the same. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Chap Petersen

As a college student, I don't have much money to give.  But what I can give, I have.  Thank you for supporting a great Virginian and American, Chap!  You're one of my favorite Democrats.


Chap, I already gave (Teddy - 4/4/2006 11:34:27 PM)
Chap, I already gave my limit, but I believe that if Mr. Webb was put on display downstate and met the rest of Virginia on their home ground, they'd fall all over themselves to make a donation. Can't we plese introduce the candidate to other areas. Big Time?
