You may already be aware that Four Directions has a donor who wanted to match up to $20,000 for Arizona and up to $20,000 for Nevada – in a particular timeframe!
So I got a call from Four Directions, and we are!
We have an angel match to get us started for AZ and an another angel match to get us started for NV. Each angel is matching up to $1,000 for their state. There are separate thermometers so you can choose which one/s you want to donate to!
Remember, with an external match and a BJ angel, your donations up to $50 per person are double-matched. At least until we run out of BJ Angels!
To count toward the match, let us know about your donation in the comments, or you can drop me an email message if you prefer. Let me know which state or state in the comments.
ARIZONA
NEVADA

Huge thanks to the angels who’re kicking off these twin fundraisers!

$20.00 for Arizona.

Ukai
Just donated $50 to each one. Looks like I’m the first donor for both. Woot!
SiubhanDuinne
Just sent $50 to AZ and $50 to NV. Thanks, all angels!!
Mercy
$25 for Nevada, $25 for Arizona. I am in CO and keep hoping that the rest of the Mountain West will one day be as blue. (I really do suspect that Cheyenne will end up as a suburb of Fort Collins…we can only hope.)
As always, thanks for organizing!

Thanks WG
WaterGirl
Just a reminder that when we have an angel match and an external match, your donation up to $50 is multiples x 4.
$10 + $10 angel match = $20, which is matched by the external match = $40.
$25 turns into $100.
$35 turns into $140.
$50 turns into $200.
Joy in FL
$25 to Arizona and $26 to Nevada. (I need to know which contribution is which in my accounting, so I had to make two different amounts.)
Thanks to angels (of money) and to WaterGirl, who keeps the donation situation in motion.

11th term Arizona Democratic Congressman Raúl Grijalva announced today: “A few weeks ago, I sought medical treatment for a persistent cough which was initially diagnosed as pneumonia. After further testing and imaging, my physician discovered that I have cancer.”

@rikyrah: RG is my Congressperson and he’s been entrenched for a looooong time here. Much of the time, the GOP just puts up a token loon who gets roughly 25% of the vote. If he decides to hang it up, it will be extremely interesting to see who will angle to replace him from the Dem side. It’s been rumored he’s been attempting to groom a spot for someone in his family, but its a district that has a very hispanic/native flavor (may be majority hispanic or close), so chances are it will stay a Dem seat but on the whole Grijalva has been a very progressive voice in Congress.

@piratedan: I hope Jamie Raskin is an inspiration for him.
