Last chance to donate
Today is the end of the current reporting period for political campaign fund raising. When the totals are released in about a month it will be used by the media and political leaders to determine which campaigns have the financial resources to win. If you've been thinking about donating to a candidate online then today before midnight is a good time to do it.
You'll see a lot of coverage about which Presidential candidates raised the most but the totals are also very important for up and coming campaigns trying to gain the attention and support of political leaders. That's the situation Congressional candidate Joe McMenamin is in. A large fundraising total for this reporting period will signal to major donors and the political establishment that he is running a serious campaign that is worth getting involved in. So, before the year runs out I'm making one more pitch to donate to McMenamin's campaign. He's already off to a good start but every extra dollar helps.
