Musselman Challenge 2010 (FR Fundraiser)
Posted by admin / Under Fundraising
So, some of you may remember Musselman Challenge of 2003". It was a fundraiser for FR. FReepers across the country donated an amount they pledged to FR based upon how many mussels I ate at the local chinese restaurant. It looks time to do it again. Less than $5k to go in this present quarterly FReepathon, and I want to do what I can to help. As such, I will be making the journey to my favorite chinese restaurant on Saturday, July 24th, to raise a few bucks for Free Republic once more. Can we top the 2003 pledges? We...

Michele Bachmann outraises Sarah Palin
Posted by admin / Under Fundraising
At FrumForum, Tim Mak notes that despite the fuss about the $865,000 Sarah Palin raised for her PAC last quarter, she was out-raised by both Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann, a simple congresswoman who is not actually running for the 2012 nomination. (As far as anyone knows.) Minnesota's favorite baby-farmer Bachmann raised $1.7 million last quarter, despite the fact that, unlike Palin and Romney, she ostensibly has a job. Does this make Bachmann a dark-horse candidate for the GOP nomination? She shares much of Sarah Palin's political skill and ambition, plus the ability to speak extemporaneously.

Sarah Palin’s PAC fundraising suddenly looking mighty presidential
Posted by admin / Under Fundraising
The second-quarter numbers are in and people who pay attention are paying attention. It’s not the haul that’s so impressive — $866,000 is a robust figure but Romney’s PAC did more than a million in April and May alone and SarahPAC itself did better in the last half of last year than the first half of this year — but rather what she’s doing with the money. What kind of ex-governor-turned-commentator spends several hundred thousand dollars developing a direct mailing list?One who’s keeping her options open. The committee, SarahPAC, also spent nearly twice as much – $742,000 – as it...

Clark vs. Bachmann: This race is red hot (Lots of Money Being Raised...!)
Posted by admin / Under Fundraising
Money is surging through the election battle between U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann and her Democratic challenger, Tarryl Clark, who reported totals on Wednesday that eclipse previous state fundraising records for a U.S. House race. Clark, a state senator, said she had raised a whopping $910,000 since April in her effort to unseat Bachmann, the Stillwater Republican who has become a conservative favorite nationally. Bachmann countered Clark's news with an even bigger bombshell: She had piled up $1.7 million in the same three-month period. The tallies set a new high-water mark for Minnesota U.S. House races and offer further proof that...

Justice Thomas's wife's fundraising makes her tea party force By: Kenneth P. Vogel July 6, 2010 06:31 PM EDT When Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife announced in 2008 that she was going to help run Washington operations for a Michigan college once described as “a citadel of American conservatism,” she said the move was her “way of pulling away from politics” and the “safest place for me to be when it comes to conflicts” with her husband’s position on the court. But, less than two years later, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas has returned to partisan politics as a fully engaged...
