I've thrown down the gauntlet and made a challenge to Democratic Bloggers around the country to raise $5000 in Democracy Bonds. That's just 250 people giving $20 each per month. Here's how you can participate.
If you're not a blogger, then the first thing you can do is send this message to the bloggers you read and ask them to participate. Next, please visit my Democratic Party Fundraising Campaign site and make a $20 per month Democracy Bond committment. Adjust your contribution up or down depending on your financial situation. Clicking on the thermometer below will take you to my Democratic Party fundraising site.
If you are a blogger and have what it takes to join the Democratic Blogger Challenge, then here's what you need to do. If you don't think you can hack $5,000, then try for $100 or $1,000.
- Go to http://www.democrats.org/...
- Use the link in the green box, "Click here to get started>>"
- Login or Signup to create a new account
- Fill out the information to create your personal fundraising homepage
- Put a link on your blog to your fundraising page
- Send me an e-mail to cademocrat@gmail.com with the HTML to link to the image for your fundraising page and your blog name and I'll add it to Democratic Blogger Challenge Total Page
- Send out invites for people to sign up as a Democracy Bond holder through your fundraising page.
- Encourage your blogger pals to join the challenge
- DNC folks will probably not like me here, but make a suggestion that they create groups to allow individual grassroots fundraisers to let their totals be combined for a group total. That way we can compete in a group by state, such as California Democratic Bloggers vs. New York Democratic Bloggers.
