Now's the time…

…if you've even thought about chipping in to help Darcy Burner. DFW via Carl...

The Darcy Burner for Congress campaign is presently working hard on fundraising to meet an end-of-March goal of $320,000 on hand. If it is successful, she will be eligible for an additional $250,000 from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's "Red to Blue" program.

Her campaign is almost there, but she needs help from you and I for that last push over the top. If you've been wanting to help her campaign financially but haven't done so yet, now is the best time to do it.

Actually, before was the best time, but now will do very nicely.

There are a lot of ways to get some cash to Darcy. There's a link at her place, Carl would be happy to hook you up and, well, you do know how to Google, don't you?

Still, with all those choices, I hope that when you decide to contribute, you do it through the Upper Left ActBlue page. Though I stray far afield some (OK, most) of the time, this blog was started with the hope of having some kind of regional impact, and helping to elect Darcy Burner to Congress would certainly fulfill that hope. On a broader level, if you're one of those who thinks the 'netroots' should have a greater voice in Democratic Party affairs, making your contribution through ActBlue is a great way to pump up our volume a little bit. I know, I know, we don't want to be seen as just a cash cow for candidates, but the cash is important, and it's a tangible measure of our commitment and, well, just do it.

Darcy will appreciate it, I will appreciate it and you know you'll feel better when you've done it.
