I just got a call from the DCCC

[Kingofalldems]

The lady said that if I donated at least $35 the amount would be tripled by unopposed Dems in Mass. and other states. Anyone else heard of this?

[Ignacio Upton]

1. If so then that's the best thing they have done this year

I'm also thrilled that candidates like John Hall and Larry Grant are now on their Red to Blue list!

[KingFlorez]

2. That is one of their new fundraising ideas

They're matching funds of people who donate

3. I recently got an email from Al Gore about tripled....

...matching donations.

4. Yes, it's been ongoing for at least the past week. Great idea! nt

[Kingofalldems]

5. Glad to hear that, I hadn't heard of matching funds

And I DID donate as should everyone on DU, if they can afford it.

We will put your contribution to work immediately in our campaign to elect a Democratic Senate.

For every dollar contributed by October 31 as a result of this request, a group of Senate Democrats will raise an additional two dollars - effectively tripling your gift.

Remember, if you'd prefer, you can also make your contribution by phone. Just call 1-866-450-3804.

9. I get emails to that effect quite regularly.

Coming from one of the established organizations, they should be legitimate.
It frustrates me no end that I can't give a little to all the progressive requests that I get, but there's only so much to go around.

For the first cycle in ten years, I'm actually getting dem calls instead of publiclown pre-records and other such garbage. That leads me to a bit more positive a place.

11. MoveOn and MyDD spearheaded this project

there's about 50-million that unopposed dems have raised & they convinced Barney Frank, etc to donate some of it to the DCCC.

12. Yup! I got an email about it. I hadn't donated to any

political organization like DCCC or the DSCC or DNC, but getting 3-to-1 for my money?....I just couldn't pass it up. I bit the bullet and donated. They NEED the money.
