No you didn’t. Um, yes you did and then some.
$10,000,000 Online since
Super Tuesday
100,000+ NEW DONORS
Matt Stoller: “Clinton hit $10M from over 100,000 donors since February 5th. That is nothing less than stunning.”
From the Clinton campaign:
The Clinton campaign today announced that it raised $10 million
online from more than 100,000 donors since the polls closed on Super Tuesday.“This is a major development in this race. Hillary has always had millions
of strong supporters nationwide — now those supporters are beginning to give
online in large numbers,” said Clinton Campaign Internet Director Peter
Daou.The campaign had set a goal of raising $3 million in 3 days — and exceeded
its target in less than a day. The campaign raised more than $4 million online
during the first 24 hours after the polls closed in California.“We are overwhelmed by the response to our fundraising drive and tremendously
grateful to our supporters nationwide,” said Daou. “In the hours
after Super Tuesday’s polls closed, contributions began coming in and shortly
after Sen. Clinton discussed a loan she had given her campaign in January,
there was a massive surge in contributions from small donors across the country.
Emails and letters poured in from supporters telling Sen. Clinton that they
hadn’t realized that she needed their financial support.”“The emails ranged from a conservative veteran who wrote to say that
he, his wife and daughters all contributed to the campaign, to a couple who
decided to forego their Valentine’s dinner to send a donation. With more than
a million volunteer hours committed and millions of dollars donated to Sen.
Clinton’s campaign, our grassroots supporters are the backbone of our campaign.
We cannot thank them enough for standing with Sen. Clinton every step of the
way and we know we can rely on them to carry us to victory.”
Oh, and keep it going. Get someone to give $10, and if you haven’t given, now is the time.
Why are you giving? Why are you supporting Hillary Clinton with a contribution? If you’ve got a story, let’s hear it. There are a lot of lurkers around. Let them read your story and see you make the case for Hillary Clinton.
And a note to you lurkers and others who don’t comment. Every single one of you can get involved. At the very least, get a “Digg” account and help spread the word. There’s no reason we can’t get some of these important posts into the hundreds and hundreds of Diggs, which gets them circulated around the web. It’s easy. Do it today.
