As the name on the button atop this site notes, the goal was 1000. 1000 Vermonters who want to see the Governorship return to Democratic hands, committing to help offset the financial impact of the contested primary by pledging to send the winner – whichever candidate it is – $100 on August 25th, the day after the primary.
Set up as a Facebook group, the membership has reached 287, plus another 5 who emailed or posted that they were in, but were not facebook members. That’s 292 for $29,200 from the Vermont netroots and social networking community so far.
1000 is a long way off, but at the very least, we can still push that number to 500, and supply a much-needed $50,000 infusion to refill the coffers. So, if you haven’t joined already, please click on the link and sign up, or indicate on this thread your interest. And if you’re on Facebook, help us unleash the power of social media by inviting your friends to join.
We have 2 weeks to go… help us get the word out!
…who made a point of promoting this on his Facebook page.
It takes a class act to promote a pledge for money that might not go to you.
Here is my pledge to contribute $100 to the winning Democrat. Let’s keep this ball rolling!!!
I’m in. Will you join me?
I am glad to make this pledge and hope others will jump at he chance as well.
