As many of you know, I have written several posts in support of Andrew Hurst. Andy is running against Tom Davis, who is the chairman of the House Committee on Government Reform. Much to our chagrin, recent media reports have revealed that instead of ensuring that lawmakers are held to the highest of standards, Tom Davis has formed cozy relationships with lobbyists and PACs. That is why it is so important to elect a candidate, such as Andy Hurst, who will honestly strive to advocate reform.As of now, we have had over $200 donated. Let's keep it up. The site will be running until September 31, which means we must act quickly to reach the goal of $4,000.In recent elections, the blogosphere has become a powerful part of the political process. A candidate, however, cannot win an election solely based upon his or her support among net-root activists. It is therefore crucial that a candidate has as many volunteers as possible. Unfortunately, there are many people who do not have the time to personally volunteer for a candidate. There is, after all, only so many hours in a day. As a result, I would like to present a proposal of how you could potentially help the Andy Hurst for Congress campaign.
An Act Blue site has been set up in order to raise money for the Hurst campaign. Through this site, donors would be able to assist Andy+óGé¼Gäós ability to reach out to voters across District 11. The first $4,000 raised will go towards hiring a field organizer, and the rest of it would be used as the campaign sees fit, with the understanding that it must be used for voter contact, or other field activities. The organizers of this site would also like to have the support of a vast number of bloggers, not just one person in particular.
