I'm asking ALL my DU friends for a small favor

A very good friend of mine is running for Governor of Nebraska. State Senator Carol Blood is NOT unopposed as a Dem for the primary in May. Should she win, she will be facing a hardline conservative, no matter who wins the Republican nomination. The one leading in the Republican primary poll is endorsed by Trump.

You know me. We raised $ 2.4 million for Biden. We raised $270,392,.83 for the GA runoffs for the Senate. We have raised over $6,000 so far for Ukraine. It goes on and on in several other races the DU supported in the past.

What I'm asking for is a small donation for Carol as a favor to me. Minimum donation is just $1. I'm hoping for $5. Carol's DU ActBlue site is running. You should get redirected to her page after your donation.

IF you can't contribute, at least give this post a K&R!

We went OVER the $1000 goal already! We are averaging way over the $5 per donation I asked for. DU trolls are having a fit.

Donate to Carol here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/duforblood

Here is her site: https://www.electcarolblood.com/

I know times are tough. I do appreciate ANY donation you can afford.

Regards,

7. Not that it would prevent me from donating, but....

What are her chances in deep-red Nebraska?

[Omaha Steve]

11. Ben Nelson was the last D Governor of Nebraska

Before him was Bob Kerrey. So it can be done. I'd say 40-60 are her chances at this time.

And now I shall go visit that link!

😃

Btw, I really like that slogan “DU is Out for Blood”!

Excellent! And clever as all-get-out!

32. I looked at her site. She was wise enough to provide a street address for checks.

I still will not use Act Blue for anything, but will be glad to send her a check for $300. It will take whatever time it takes to get there from Germany, but at least when it does, she gets 100% of it, and not minus whatever Act Blue plus the credit card companies take out of it.

35. Woohooo & way to go!

58. Just a drop in the bucket these days

But even so, enough drops can fill a bucket.

65. It's up to the postal service(s) now

I know the Germans are rather efficient about getting mail over to North America. Once Louis da Jerk gtes his hands on the process is anyone's guess after that.

66. Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best!

37. I'm happy to help

I have pretty much been a lurker on this page since 2004. I greatly appreciate the value of all of the opinions so I just take it in. And I am the better for it. But since I know you on this forum Omaha Steve I trust your judgement so I sent her $100. I hope it helps.
