Since our launch on October 8, the Slatecard community has made tremendous progress toward our goal of being the most comprehensive and widely used directory of Republican politicians in existence.
What we're hearing is that Republican activists are finding out that Slatecard is not simply an “online shopping cart,” but is a vibrant hub for information and political activism in the modern world.
That progress is being realized through the only currency which matters in politics -- money.
In fact, one of Capitol Hill's most prominent newspapers which covers the political beat, Roll Call, reported on our progress in its November 15 issue of Shop Talk (sub. req.):
All for One and One for All. Slatecard.com, a political action
committee founded by a GOP political consultant and a freelance
software designer to support Republican candidates running for federal
office, revealed this week that it has raised more $71,000 since its
inception early last month.
$71,000 in a little over one month for Republican candidates and committees is impressive. You should be proud.
But since the article was printed, we've continued to raise money for the Right kind of candidate and committees. Here's where we stand right now:
- Total Donations: $72,672.80
- Number of Supporters: 356
- Average Donation: $204.14
If you haven't already, I would urge you to pick a candidate or two from our directory -- anyone you think needs the support -- and give at least $10 or $20 to their campaign. There are far too many candidates without issue badges. They need to hear from you today.
And trust me when I tell you this: We are just getting started.
Early next week we're going to be making a major announcement about Slatecard which is what we've been working on over the past few weeks. Please stay tuned.
Revolution.
