We are trying to get each of these two candidates $10,000 to help in their fight to win these seats in Virginia.
We had our first Balloon Juice Angel match for Virginia on Friday, and that helped get us to $5,000!
Mousebumples is our Balloon Juice Angel today – let’s see what we can get to with this one. Big thanks to both our angels!
Mousebumples will match up to $25 per person, for a total of $500.
Let’s get this Angel Match started! As we kick off the match, the thermometer is at $5,346.
The two Virginia candidates we are supporting are:
- Michael Feggans
- Kimberly Pope Adams
Let’s help Virginia peeps to: Vote. Them. Out.

OK. kicked in 50 bucks. I’m deferring to you about the wisdom of this way of spending my money. Will be paying better attention later.
WaterGirl
@mvr: Thank you! So now there’s just $55 remaining on Mousebumples match.
Hopefully we will get there by morning!
Goodnight, all!

I see the ads constantly. Are we going to raise money for Russet Perry and Joel Griffith? They’re the votes that would support abortion.
Almost Retired
@Karen: The two candidates in the thermometer are reproductive rights advocates, and would displace two narrowly-elected incumbent Republicans who are vehemently anti-abortion and knee-deep in fake pregnancy crisis centers. These incumbent Republicans (Kim Taylor and Karen Greenhalgh) need to be dislodged! And as of the last financial report, they need money.
