NEW GOAL - Virginia Bloggers for Jim Webb

As you have probably heard over a dozen times this week tomorrow is the deadline for the 1st quarter fundraising period for the Senate race.  If you were considering donating to the Webb campaign soon, I would encourage you to do it by tomorrow night.

George Allen has a large head-start fundraising wise and will perhaps out fundraise us this quarter, but there is one other important number to consider and that is the number of individual donors.  This number is equally important to the total amount raised and speaks volumes to the potential Jim has to draw in unprecedented numbers of donors to a Virginia Senate race.  Please help increase this number by donating yourself if you haven?t already, encouraging your spouse/significant other to also donate in their name, and encouraging your friends, family and co-workers to do the same ? even $10 will go a long way to helping show the strength of the campaign.

Join myself and several other Virginia bloggers as we team up to raise $500 (50 ten dollar donations?), $750 $2,000  in the next 30,  14 12 hours by going here to contribute.  From that same page you can follow our progress live with our fundraising thermometer and also start your own personal fundraising page to continue the success.

In the past month Jim has gotten financial support from hundreds if not thousands of individuals from across the U.S. donating $10, $20 or $50 ? the small dollar donor.  Let?s continue that trend.

Thank you and I?ll see you on the campaign trail.

Thanks summercat and everyone else who donated. We are all surprised at how well things went.  Not bad work for 36 hours :).

Look for more of this in the future. Any other ideas on how to improve it?

It's my understanding that the paper work, including the numbers for the 1st quarter, are due from the campaigns to the FEC by April 15th.  Generally speaking, at this time the numbers are made public.
