A very good friend of mine is running for Governor of Nebraska. State Senator Carol Blood is NOT unopposed as a Dem for the primary in May. Should she win, she will be facing a hardline conservative, no matter who wins the Republican nomination. The one leading in the Republican primary poll is endorsed by Trump.
You know me. We raised $ 2.4 million for Biden. We raised $270,392,.83 for the GA runoffs for the Senate. We have raised over $6,000 so far for Ukraine. It goes on and on in several other races the DU supported in the past.
What I'm asking for is a small donation for Carol as a favor to me. Minimum donation is just $1. I'm hoping for $5. Carol's DU ActBlue site is running. You should get redirected to her page after your donation.
IF you can't contribute, at least give this post a K&R!
We went OVER the $1000 goal already! We are averaging way over the $5 per donation I asked for. DU trolls are having a fit.
Donate to Carol here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/duforblood
Here is her site: https://www.electcarolblood.com/
I know times are tough. I do appreciate ANY donation you can afford.

(99,556 posts)Before him was Bob Kerrey. So it can be done. I'd say 40-60 are her chances at this time.

Btw, I really like that slogan DU is Out for Blood!
Excellent! And clever as all-get-out!

(54,325 posts)I still will not use Act Blue for anything, but will be glad to send her a check for $300. It will take whatever time it takes to get there from Germany, but at least when it does, she gets 100% of it, and not minus whatever Act Blue plus the credit card companies take out of it.

(18 posts)I have pretty much been a lurker on this page since 2004. I greatly appreciate the value of all of the opinions so I just take it in. And I am the better for it. But since I know you on this forum Omaha Steve I trust your judgement so I sent her $100. I hope it helps.

(16,646 posts)I'll donate, but how much will depend upon whether she is a Joe Machin Democrat or a AOC Democrat.
