DU fundraising for Omaha Steve matching donation this weekend

The DU alone has raised $263 (before small fees by PayPal) for my run for Bellevue City Council Ward I.

There are now FOUR candidates for my ward. I'm the only Democrat that has filed. Unless a fake Dem (like has happened in Wisconsin etc.) files, I am now assured to get past the primary in May.

A very generous individual has pledged an up to $250 match for every dollar I raise through midnight Sunday via PayPal.

Secure donation by PayPal: http://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=KKcZim7ycdGQp6n9J60fb-RPKclJAebU8yZsHKi55xsFSoeGaZ_t8pm2irm&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8d43b1bb6ca6ed6d454adc375ba2d28b99

I know this is a leap of faith since my #1 issue is under wraps until April. Also my web site isn't up, but will be by the April Ne. caucus

Even $5 helps more than you can imagine. It will be put to good use.

My local fundraiser is in April btw at Bear's Bar in Historic Olde Towne Bellevue, the heart of my ward.

Omaha Steve

Up to 250.00. LOL Big time, big money politics.

Just a thought. Maybe it was the guy who donated the matching funds who notified paypal.

It appears that just like the weeper himself, the link isn't/won't work.

Oh the irony.

Tucker, I didn't see that you had started a thread on this already.  Mods please combine.

Skimmer himself showed up to the thread, but alas it wasn't to donate, just to slap a DUmmie.

It's a button at the bottom of the OP.

Steve waited until the graveyard shift was stirring about before posting his plea in order to snag everybody. It's been an hour since the last reply.

His "alms for the poor" request is sinking like a rock.

Bit by bit we are learning more: Steve will have a website up in April.

Hey Steve! Start a comments section! or a little forum. Give and take with your constituents.
Issue a press release for free publicity--they will post it for free in the papers and on the radio.

The idea that you have a forum will be unique and allow direct communication that everyone can see.
If you win, you can keep it as a link to the people.

It's Febuary 18th and he's waiting till April to announce  his platform? If anything is true in politics its the person that gets the word out first that at leasat has the best chance on getting to the end on any platform, you don't sit on your ass and hope for the best. A frackin war could break out in March in the Middle Eaast and the last thing talked about in the news cycle will be OmahaSteves stance on Gradmas Gone Wild.

Would there be a way to volunteer to contribute to lib causes, and candidates, that referred potential fundraising entities to a website that gave them a good long huge runaround, and in the end netted them nothing ? An added bonus would be their time would be just wasted, and not used to waste others.

That's what bothers me about this whole deal.

The big guy's trying to raise money before he announces his platform.

Talk about putting the cart in front of the horse.

Which leads me to believe he can't possibly be serious.  No way.  He's acting as if he's running for vice-president of the junior class in high school or something.

I suspect he's a token candidate, much like how Republicans run token candidates in hopelessly blue districts elsewhere.....or how Democrats in Nebraska have of late had to run homeless guys for governor, senator, whatnot.

Just to be sure there's a (D) on the ballot, nothing more.

Why the concern about money before one has something to sell?

Okay.  So franksolich decides to run for office.  Say, county surveyor for Knox County, Nebraska.

It's a good-paying job, too.

So everybody send me money.

What's wrong with this picture?

Might it be because nobody has any idea of what franksolich proposes to do as county surveyor?

Maybe after franksolich raises some money and gets around to telling the voting public what he proposes to do, some of those who donated money might not like it.

This is not going to end well.  For my fellow Nebraskan, that is.

Well, I checked out the campfire on Skins's island; it's not burning well.

Ninety-nine views and sixteen comments, if I recall correctly.

Probably the big guy should announce what he's selling (i.e., his campaign platform) before he asks for money.
