$1.50 Challenge???

[BlueDog22]

I see a fundraising opportunity, and I don't think we miss it. To protest the GOP tax Reform, and Speaker Ryan's leadership, I think we should challenge our friends, family members and fellow left of center politics to donate $1.50 to any Liberal or Democratic organization or candidate. It is a small amount, which increases the likelihood of participation and I think it would be a good way to start the year fundraising for the Resistance.

1. Excellent idea.

I would suggest pooling it in something to maximize it's power... Like a sunshot cannon.


j/k about the cannon part.

2. DNC

Well the Republicans are going on and on about how the DNC is broke, but I don't know how many people would support giving to the DNC after the Sanders-Clinton thing.

What we actually need most in my opinion is a hastag like #buckfifty or #dollarfifty

3. Maybe some thing that makes a strong statement about the will of the 99%...

Without being overtly political.

Splendid idea on the hashtag.

I didn't see he did that. We could however make a much larger, more widespread campaign.

9. Local Parties

Local and State Democratic Parties are underfunded cycle after cycle. Supporting those would help in the long term as they play will into the grassroots.

5. FDR had his March of Dimes so where is our #buckfifty marching? n/t

7. Local Democrats and Puerto Rico

To protest the Ryan Tax Cut claims, donate a #buckfifty to your local Democratic Party or Puerto Rico relief.
