Support Rightroots (Msg from Bill Frist/VOLPAC)

VOLPAC ^ | 8/2/06 | Sen. Frist

[Coop]

Just a quick post to tell you about an exciting new website: Rightroots. Rightroots provides you with a quick and easy way to financially support conservative congressional candidates...

I have proudly endorsed Rightroots and I hope you will too, by visiting them today and making a contribution to one or all of the candidates Rightroots has listed.

If the Democrats gain control of the Congress, “today’s environment” will seem mild compared to what we’ll have to endure in 2007 and 2008 – total gridlock for the President and for the country. I see the tactics of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and John Murtha and Hillary Clinton every day…allowing them to gain control of the Congress will be devastating for the next 2 years and beyond.

My fellow blogger on Capitol Hill, Congressman Jack Kingston, has challenged conservative bloggers to donate $26,000 to Rightroots candidates by this Friday at midnight. I encourage everyone to help Rightroots meet this goal.

The 2006 elections are about a choice. To me that choice is crystal clear:

• Tax cuts vs. Tax hikes
• Judges who interpret the law vs. Judges who make the law
• Energy independence vs. Energy dependence
• Victory in Iraq vs. Retreat from Iraq
• Protected borders vs. Porous borders
• Protecting doctors vs. Protecting predatory trial lawyers

So please help Rightroots meet Congressman Kingston’s challenge. To make a contribution to one of the Rightsroots candidates, please click here.

Cool. 50 by Labor Day!

[ProudCopperhead]

Thanks. Doubt if I can make it, but it has my full support.

[Coop]

I've checked several times, but it was always $48,6xx-$48,7xx range. Nice bump!

[Coop]

$49,285 bump

[ProudCopperhead]

I predict we'll make it.

It will give Hawkins something to crow about in his Tuesday blog.

[jazusamo]

I think we'll make it today, always the optimist. :-)

[ProudCopperhead]

Let's get it done bump.

[ProudCopperhead]

bttt

[Coop]

Evening bump

[ProudCopperhead]

$50,000 bump

[Coop]

Nice, broke the $50K barrier.

[jazusamo]

50K Bump. :-)

[Coop]

BTTT

[ProudCopperhead]

and again

[Coop]

$50K seems like a good milestone. I vote that you create a thread announcing the news! :-)

[jazusamo]

Bump for Irey, her total increased $150.

[Coop]

Hey, Diana's closing in on eight grand!

[ProudCopperhead]

They've added some new candidates and now have something, as yet unexplained, called the "15 day challenge".

Stuck on $50,250 for today, though.

[Coop]

Yes, it looks like they'll be tabulating amounts for the next 15 days, to see who collects the most. Diana's so far ahead in the general totals it's likely nobody will catch her -- unless interest in this PAC suddenly takes off. (stop laughing)

[Coop]

So I take it you're not creating a new thread?
