As I write this we have about 12 hours until the second quarter fundraising deadline.
Here at Edwards headquarters folks are working the phones bringing in the last donations of the quarter. The staff is having a contest - trying to out raise each other and the summer interns, who have proven remarkably good at "dialing for dollars".
The internet team is working to make sure everything is following smoothly, we just sent out our last e-mail of the quarter, a message from campaign manager, Congressman David Bonior, (which you can read below) who just stopped over to make sure it had been sent on time.
We're all working towards our goal - 9 million by midnight - and refreshing the website to check our progress. Every donation takes us just a bit closer.
So, you know I'm going to have to say it: if you haven't given yet, or you have given but you can give again, please do so. Every little bit helps. Over 60,000 individuals have helped us get to this point, I don't know what could be better proof of the fact that this campaign can't succeed with out you.
Please Give What You Can Now!
