Right Roots: Crunch Time
Sep 6th 2006RavenPolitics & Pro America & Raven
From John Hawkins, regarding RightRoots:
In our first month, Rightroots raised roughly $47,500 and Jack Kingston’s PAC chipped in another $14,000 to our candidates. That’s not a bad start for a virgin effort. Still, there’s a lot more to do on the fund raising front, especially with the GOP still struggling to retain the House.
That’s why we’ve decided it’s time to take it up to the next level with Rightroots. First of all, we’ve added three new candidates, all of whom are trying to knock off Democratic incumbents. Those candidates are (Details about each candidate are on the Rightroots page):
Ralph Norman (SC-05)
Andrea Lane Zinga (IL-17)
Mike Bouchard: MichiganMore importantly, in order to drum up support for these candidates and for the original 18 candidates we selected, we’ve decided to approach things from a different angle.
Over the next 15 days, our goal is to pull in 100 donations per candidate. That won’t be an easy goal to hit and I can tell you definitively that if the right side of the blogosphere doesn’t help us out and promote this effort, we will not make it. So, if you could give us a link and/or if you could spread the word, it would be much appreciated.
This is a great opportunity for your readers to make a difference in some key elections, even if they don’t live in those districts. Remember, November is not far away, but we’re have to live with the results for two long years. Do we really want to risk having Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid running the show?
More on the challenge from:
Folks, we’re off to a GOOD start BUT more needs to be done. Really! Check out the new candidates and see how worthy they are of getting OUR help. The crunch time is NOW!
Get your change bucket out, cash it in and donate it.
Get together with some politically like minded friends and take up a collection and donate it!
Don’t have a lot of cash or don’t think that $20.00 will help? Think AGAIN. Donate it!
Let’s keep MoveOn and it’s elk out of Washington. Let’s get rid of the corrupt Democraps and far left liberals who WILL be running the show if we allow them to do so!

Your post - looks like something to be involved with after September 11th and the 2996 Tribute. I still have more to do before tomorrow. First they wanted everyone to wait - “hurry up and wait!” - you know that well. Your comment - I’ve been deciding what to do about blogging in general - like maybe just “start over!” - down in the “dumps” and out of the funds required for a “chunk” payment to continue what I have - can’t be justified at this time. Thanks for stopping - sorry it’s taken soo long to acknowledge your comment. The moderation is turned off - still the comments don’t auto-pilot?! Thanks for caring about us all.
