$15K in 14 Days
By Andrew Dobbs
Just wanted to let everyone know about a big fundraising push we have going on over at the Texas Democratic Party. We are trying to raise $15,000 to provide access for our new state of the art voter file for all of our state house candidates. The file was put together with the help of the DNC's "Demzilla" file and has all the top notch data mining information. Our candidates will know everything they could possibly need to know about the voters in their district and they will have a great advantage over their GOP opponents.
The problem with that is that the file isn't free. In fact, it is quite expensive. We need the cash to give our candidates a great chance at if not taking back the Texas House at least gaining quite a bit of ground.
As a result, we have a $15 K in 14 Days netroots fundraising effort underway to raise the money needed to make this tool available for our candidates. Since this is my job and what not, I am going to ask you all to do what you can to help us turn Texas blue again by donating today. I know you have been so generous to Karl-T. and Byron so that they could offer you all some of the best commentary on the convention on the web. Please help me out so I can look good while helping some great Democrats get elected in the process.
Thanks people, hope you can spare some cash and have a great week!

Now if there was ever a good place to put a political contribution this is it people. Not only does it keep your money in Texas, but it goes towards a real project and concrete goal. I'm glad to see the TDP doing fundraising drives like this one. However, may I suggest an alternative to that animated gif 'badge' for people to put on their blog. I spent a few minutes creating a cleaner one for my own blog. Steal this gif:
