Please donate to show that we appreciate Democrats who stick with their principles even if it may hurt them politically.

Maybe, if enough of us donate, she'll be able to keep her seat in November.

Thanx for the heads up. This is critical.

(6,008 posts)Every Democratic politician needs to see that sticking to their principles and standing up to the Republicans gets them the loyal support of their liberal base.

(33,349 posts)The election is not over. Her vote and statement can mobilize voters for her. Donations help get her message to those voters and have a way of snowballing. All Americans love an underdog who doesn't give up the fight.

(4,762 posts)She had been written off in 2012 and came back to win. She can do it again.

(7,867 posts)Fuck those people in this thread that said she has no chance.
She was down double digits in the polls in 2012 as well -- well, guess what? She ended up winning.

(4,826 posts)I get crap in the mail every day against her. Oil barons held a fundraiser in Texas for Cramer. Heidi needs all the help she can get

(58,785 posts)both small donations but especially satisfied on both accounts right now.
Btw, anyone who hasn't checked out ActBlue might. We definiately qualify as small, grass-roots donors (!), but small amounts slipped out of our account each month are unnoticed and painless, as opposed to fewer, larger donations over the year.

(33,349 posts)That's a pretty dramatic message for the Senator to see.
May she flip the polls.

(1,288 posts)As others have said, I want her and others to know that people support her.
Maybe she can pull it off with enough money to be able to explain herself.
