If you have ever thought of contributing to the Andrew Hurst campaign, or have given before and were thinking of doing it again Now Is The Time. The final deadline for a major financial filing is September 30th and the country is watching. Based on what this report looks like, a lot of national donors and pundits will be making decisions about this race.
In the five days between September 26 and 30 we hope to raise $11,000 online. In the previous debate between Andy Hurst and Tom Davis, Tom stated GÇ£all of AndyGÇÖs money comes from out of state lawyers that sue doctorsGÇ¥, letGÇÖs prove him wrong.
Please contribute whatever you can, whether itGÇÖs $20, $50, $200 or more.
[UPDATE #1]At 4:17PM on September 26 we are at $28,307.47, a gain of $2,495, Not Bad at all, let's keep going, only $8505 to go!
[UPDATE #2]Just saw we made the rec list, so wanted to add an update, we have now raised $4990.02 since we started this push (it's now 12:15AM on 9/28) and are on pace to hit $11,000
As of 12:01AM on September 26 we have raised $25,812.47 online (since late July when we made the switch to Act Blue). I will be the first to contribute in this effort (donating $20 back of my meager salary), bringing the new total to $25,832.47, only $10,980 to go!
If you need some reasons to contribute to Andrew Hurst, here are 5
#5 GÇô Andrew Hurst is a Fighter. After Tom Davis sent out two campaign pieces at taxpayer expense, Andy Filed a Formal Complaint
#4 GÇô Tom Davis is more Vulnurable then ever!
#3 GÇô Andrew Hurst CRUSHED Tom Davis in their debate.
#2 GÇô Tom Davis = Corruption, $14k trips to Italy, ICG Influence Peddling Scandal, Tom Davis has heavy ties to Bob Ney. This list could go on forever, for more details read Andrea ChambleeGÇÖs research diaries.
#1 GÇô Andy Hurst is leading by example in trying to reform Washington. He is refusing to take PAC money, which makes your contributions all the more powerful.
We canGÇÖt win this race without your support. We canGÇÖt raise the millions of dollars Tom Davis has, because we donGÇÖt have ties to Abramoff and Karl Roves Rolodex, but we do have you, and we need you know more than ever.
Please try and Contribute before the September 30th deadline so that your donation will make it into our final major report.

PS: We don't have anyone in house that can do those spiffy graphics that show how much money has been raised, so I'll be putting up updates throughout the week.
