Every day until the election I'm making a contribution to a new candidate, announcing it here on Daily Kos, and encouraging you to join me. If one person matches my contribution on my ActBlue page, I'll double my contribution; if ten people match it, I'll triple. Yesterday nobody matched my contribution to Julia Carson
Update: Peter is doing so well today - with 18 donations in the first ninety minutes - that I am increasing the incentive. If we reach a total of 50 donations for Peter today, I'll send him $100 more tomorrow. Thanks, everyone, for making today great!
Christopher Walker suggested today's candidate, Peter Goldmark. I like his reasoning: "in all likelihood, if we can get him into Congress this cycle, he can probably retain that seat for the rest of his life." That's good enough for me; Peter, here's $20.
Here's Peter's website.
Here's my ActBlue page.
My donation history is below the fold.
Update 2pm PST: Thanks, everyone; I've reached my goal - but please don't let that stop you from contributing to Peter or any of these other worthy candidates. I'm going out now to canvass my precinct. Don't stop.
