Lampson’s End-Of-Quarter Fund Drive
By Vince Leibowitz on Mar 22, 2006 in 2006 Texas Elections      
Nick Lampson, who is opposing Tom DeLay in CD-22, is having an end-of-quarter fund-raising drive. You can contribute here.
Here are some excerpts from Lampson’s email on the subject:
Now that the primary election is over, the clock is ticking on our campaign’s next important deadline:Â the end of the fundraising quarter on March 31st.
You and I know how important it is that we bring new leadership to TX-22 and send Tom DeLay packing this November. But to do that, we need to show the press, the pundits, and the voters that our campaign has the resources, the strength, and the momentum to go toe-to-toe with Tom DeLay every day between now and Election Day.
So today we’re launching our newest fundraising challenge:Â a $50,000 goal over these next 9 days before March 31st, to help us close the quarter as strong as we possibly can.Won’t you help?
Contribute to our campaign today – and help us beat our $50,000 end-of-quarter fundraising goal!
With less than 8 months to go until the general election, people are really starting to tune into this race – not just here in Texas, but all across the country.
The storyline coming out of the primary earlier this month showed a weakened Tom DeLay struggling to hold onto support amongst Republican voters in TX-22.
Now let’s build on that storyline. Help us show Texas and the rest of America that Tom DeLay is weak and getting weaker – and that our campaign is growing stronger by the day.
That’s the story that we can tell with a strong fundraising quarter – both in dollars raised and in the sheer number of donors who are standing with us.
Dollars demonstrate our financial power – the ability we’ll have to blanket TX-22 with TV ads, direct mail pieces, and online messaging in the closing weeks of the campaign.
But the number of donors demonstrates our people power – the grassroots enthusiasm that translates directly into “feet on the street” and votes on Election Day.
We’ll need both – lots of dollars and lots of donors – to win.
So no matter what you can give today, you will make a huge difference. You will help us send a powerful message on March 31st. And you will be a part of our tremendous victory on November 6th.
Your contributions are translating directly to our presence on the ground. Coming out of the primary, we have already knocked on more than 2000 doors and are hitting the streets every weekend. And over the coming weeks, we will continue to increase our voter contact.
Thanks so much for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Nick Lampson
P.S. $50,000 in 9 days. Help us meet our ambitious goal. Please contribute today!
