Jon Ossoff is up SEVEN POINTS in today’s Survey USA poll. If he wins this race at all, great Democratic candidates are going to come out of the woodwork to challenge Republican incumbents everywhere. The Montana special with Rob Quist on Thursday is looking tight too, though it’s tough terrain (Trump won by 20 points).
I’m not raising money for either of those two races anymore, since all the money will probably go to advertising of dubious efficacy.
I just emailed ActBlue about setting something up where we donate and money goes equally to all Democratic challengers. In the meantime, we’re still raising money against the asshole in NJ-6 (Rodney Frelinghuysen) who sent the letter that made the woman have to resign her job at a bank.

My contribution is in. I think this is a great idea.

I guess this chicken in the bread pan will be pickin’ out dough (to contribute).

I love this idea with Act Blue. I make a regular monthly donation for that. I suggested we do a check-in on the regular for each state once a month where we talk races, candidates and resource needs. In that vein, Indivisible SC could use some volunteers, if you’re looking for some liberal radical labor.
Also, you Bigfoot.

Why are we supporting neoliberal scumbags capable of winning elections?

These motherfuckers down here will pull some shit to get that idiot Handel elected.

Indeed. Let’s kick him out.
Societal norms seem to have withered among the Teabaggers. If they think that they can treat everyone not in their little club as enemies with no consequences, well, lets do what we can to show them the error of their ways.
I like the idea of an “political all-purpose” B-J fund, also too. Big numbers in one pot get more attention than $2k here and there. When does a “challenger” qualify for a share of the Sacks of Loot™? Only after the primary/caucus, I assume?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Scott.

@raven: indeed, but I am encouraged by the fact that so many people, even republicans, hate that [expletive deleted].

I really like Act Blue. I donated about a month ago to a a general DEM challenger fund I found through here on Act Blue.

The Georgia special election runoff isn’t until June 20, so money sent to Ossoff now could still do some good in terms of organization and turnout. Montana is just three days away, though.

Doug, we already have a setup to equally distribute to Democratic nominees in all 468 federal races next year. https://itstarts.today. Feel free to take a look or email me directly if you want more details.
