#dontgo @ Slatecard
Posted on Sunday, August 17th, 2008
The #dontgo movement has sparked the Revolution we had been waiting and hoping for. Bloggers are blogging. Citizens are getting engaged. Leaders are emerging. You, me, we, us — have come together to make a difference.
And it’s working.
Signing petitions is one important way to help. Another way is to harness this energy and make a real difference by supporting the #dontgo Movement’s Slatecard of Congressional candidates with a financial contribution. These Republicans are both incumbents and challengers working hard to help lower energy prices in Washington and in their districts. They need the money and are making us proud.
By using Slatecard to make a $1, $2 or even $5 contribution to each candidate on this card we will be able to raise thousands of dollars collectively. (You can even make the donation recur automatically monthly through November.)
Imagine if 30,000 people donate $1 to every candidate on this Slatecard and then gave each candidate the “#dontgo Movement” issue badge. Our message — this Movement — will make a huge impact. The candidates will know EXACTLY why we support them.
But this movement goes beyond this website. You can also spread the word and increase your impact by adding this widget to your website (two different sizes) by grabbing the code. And email your friends — ask them to make a contribution.
The time is now. Please consider making a contribution today.
(About Slatecard)
I co-founded Slatecard with Sendhil Panchadsaram in October 2007 as a utility to support and enhance Republican activism. It is a tool for Republican candidates, causes, and the Slatecard community. Anyone can create a Slatecard of the candidates they support and those donations are tracked in real-time on the site.
Slatecard is the Right’s successful counter to the Left’s ActBlue. In ActBlue’s first election cycle (2004), they raised less than $1 million. We have set a goal to beat that amount and have raised nearly $500,000 to date. To see the buzz about Slatecard, check out our del.icio.us feed of news clips.
Honesty and transparency matter. By making a contribution through Slatecard, 96.05% of your contribution will go directly to the candidate’s campaign committee. Our 3.95% processing fee is the lowest in the market.
Slatecard is a volunteer effort. We rely on donations from the community to pay for software, fees associated with processing, hosting, etc. Thank you for your continued support.
