I have a lot of Facebook friends. 1,200 or so.

I bet you're in the same boat.

The one thing I'm really sick of receiving are invites to events and gatherings which are meant to raise money for DEMOCRATIC candidates. And, of course, every Democratic baby bundler uses ActBlue. Natch.

For example, here's a reminder to an event I received yesterday helping to bundle $50 contributions for the Democratic Nebraska Senate candidate at a fun bar in DC:

Quick reminder that Boots and Beer with Scott Kleeb is on Wednesday. (no boots actually required) We are all looking forward to an awesome event and can't wait to see you.

If you haven't already, please go to http://www.actblue.com/page/bootsandbeers and make a $50 contribution. You're welcome to write a check or make a credit card contribution there, but this is SO MUCH EASIER!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Alternatively, last night there was a fundraiser for John McCain (actually the RNC Victory Committee and a slew of other committees) on a rooftop -- typical Republican fundraiser.

I tried to get the crew organizing the event to use Slatecard for their fundraising efforts, letting them know about our referral mechanism which would give them credit for raising money and would continue to help both parties. I even said I'd help raise money for the effort from people who could care less about standing on a rooftop. Sadly, no luck.

Perhaps they didn't want to use Slatecard because it would have raised money for McCain in the Primary Election and they need it for the RNC's Victory Fund (which I'm still trying to figure out if Slatecard can raise money for the fund).

Regardless, it's these young professional Republicans who should be utilizing tools like Slatecard to help change the game for John McCain and our party. I can only stand atop this apple crate screaming at the top of my lungs for so long.
