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.

$57,058.

Seem to be picking up some steam with the new format, or maybe a post-Labor Day increase in the sense of urgency.

[ProudCopperhead]

A "let's keep it going" bump.

[Coop]

The increase is coming from promotion on other blogs/websites. That's why I was heavily hinting you start another thread. I did this one and a couple of others; I'm not doing another.

[Coop]

Diana Irey is now over $8,150.

Bump for Irey and Rightroots, contributions are picking up.

I was just over there a few minutes ago and saw that!

[Coop]

And a bump

[Coop]

Good morning. $57,483 right now.

[Coop]

If you're not already aware, Rightroots has added some new candidates. And they are now doing a 15-day challenge, attempting to get 100 donations (of any size) for each candidate.

BTTT

Bump

[Coop]

Good morning

[Coop]

Hey, it's jumped up $400 already this morning. Cool.

[jazusamo]

Good morning back to you. Yes, it seems Rightroots is getting a more action this week since a few candidates were added and have appeared on additional Websites. Good news.

Done.
