we need tshirts for parade season and walk pieces to reach the 30k dem voters in her district.
30,000. think about that. we will be knocking doors, and doing lit drops, and begging sean casten to carry our lit and we will carry his.
but just printing those pieces is huge expense for a shoestring operation.

please consider just $10. we will help flip the 6th, we will help send bruce rauner packing.

blue tsunamis are made up of raindrops at the bottom of the ticket.

please chip in. if you cant do $10, then give $5. but please give what you can afford.

4. I've tried 4 times to donate

with my credit card (Twice) and Debit card (Twice) but it will not process the card numbers.

I sent an email to them, when they answer me, I will let you know.

All I can say is that we must oppose the Illinois GOP at every level. So, even though DuPage is a couple hours northeast of me I'm still on board.

Act Blue takes almost 4% out of every donation that goes through them, and their software is so messed up that legitimate donations often get either blocked or deducted from a credit card on a monthly basis forever without the donor's consent.

Get a mailing address and send a check. I do. It costs you a stamp, but your candidate gets 100% of the donation instead of 92% after the credit card company and Act Blue take their cut.

Until their contributions don't go through or else get deducted from their credit cards multiple times which they never wanted or could afford.
