The US Congress; Congressional races

SHARE THIS LIST!  Democrats have the money advantage.  Every $ matters.

Still time to donate by check.  They say the campaign starts right after Labor Day.  (So does the early voting.) Don't give these people your primary email address or phone number.  Donation lists get sold and shared, I'm sorry to say.  Get a phone number at textnow.com, a phone app, (or other free voice over internet app) and get a dedicated political donation email address!  Mine is called 'donotreplytoDougatgmaildotcom'.

Small donations matter!
So do big ones!

Montana,  Tim Sheehy,  WE NEED TO WIN MONTANA!

Michigan,  Mike Rogers, Michigan is winnable - so let's win it!

Ohio, Bernie Mareno.  Why do we have Democrats representing Republican states?

Pennsylvania, David McCormick, Pennsylvania is the center of the political universe right now.
Energy in the Senate race helps Trump Vance as well.

In my opinion, this isn't about how much you like the individual candidates at this point, the candidates have already been chosen.  This is about whether you want Trump to be able to enact his agenda, build a wall for example, whether of not you want Chuck Schumer and Harris's replacement in the Senate to have one more vote, whether or not you want a check on power, a check against federal court appointments for example, God Forbid if Kamala Harris is elected the next President of the United States.  Every one of these races matters.

How much is that worth, relative to how much (extra) each of us has.

Spread the word.  Small donations is a numbers game.  $20 or $50 or $100 (to each) is a lot of money if 10 million people do it.

Add Wisconsin , Eric Hovde, to your donor list.  Swing state, leans Dem, margin of victory or defeat matters.  Down by 6 to Arch Liberal, Madison's Tammy Baldwin, and polls tend to be wrong...  Conservative western Wisconsin is in the Twin Cities media market and it takes money to reach these people.

Also Nevada, New Mexico, Maryland. We need more Republican states.  The Senate should be 60-40 R until Democrats turn centrist.  Let's expand the map!

How does one pay
by CC?

I know someone getting literally 50 texts or calls a day from Republicans and cannot stop or opt out.
Keep calling back with new numbers.

Those links will work for credit card.  I don't think there is any unusual risk regarding payment method, just protect your phone (texting) number and (primary) email address.

It's all proportional.  Harris reportedly has taken in $540 million since ascending.  If you gave $100 million, that alone wouldn't do it.  It's mainly numbers of people giving what's right for them.

We need almost 100 million votes.  The late breaking undecideds aren't going to pay so let's say we have 80 million people.  Of those, half are hard core supporters. If just half of just those give what they can and it averages $20 to $50 each, that is $400 million to $1 billion per (multiplied) round of donation at a high participation level.

If just 10 million people (out of 330 million) give $20 to each key Senate race that's $200 million. 

Then you have large donors, but the real key to large numbers is the broad base of support.  I wish we could make that happen without all the solicitation. The solicitation makes me want to give nothing and hide from them.

Denny S used to talk about push versus pull information.  I'll pull in the information I need, if it's available, don't push it on me.

That said, spread the word to like minded people everybody.  I'm sick of losing.

I saw it asserted that this in part was because there were landlines in the bill that would have handcuffed future Trump actions.

I have no idea either way.

I am sure it is something like that, but I don't understand how we have the majority, albeit slim, and yet we seem to still have such a hard time passing bills.

Gaetz, Boebert, Rosendale - I just don't know understand their political strategy in finding ways to lose for some ideological point that doesn't mean a damn if in the end we lose.
