WASHINGTON After raising more than $21 million for what appears to be a losing re-election campaign, embattled Congressman Allen West and those who back him are still rounding up money to try to hang on to his seat.
Congressman Allen West
Allen West just wont quit! the conservative group Revive America declares in a fund-raising solicitation. We need to immediately begin to run radio ads and online media in Florida to help support Allen West.
The group notes that unlike political campaigns, there is no limit on how much or how often you can donate for the recount drive.
West, a tea party favorite from Palm Beach Gardens, demands a full recount after an official tally put him behind Democrat Patrick Murphy by a little less than 2,000 votes.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
