In short, yes you will if I can't get enough of you to chip in some money on Tom Geoghegan's congressional campaign by midnight tonight. You see, I need to max out my donation limit on my mini-fundraiser for Tom with just a few hours to go till it's over - to fail to make it would truly suck.
I've had 18 people donate to Tom Geoghegan on my ActBlue site for him and I need another 7 to reach my goal of getting at least 25 people to donate $10 or more to his campaign by the end of today. For each donor of $10 or more by the end of midnight on that page, I'll give $10. It will be disappointing if I can't get there, so please make me open my wallet.
Why Tom Geoghegan, you ask? (follow below fold)
While I don't know Tom Geoghegan and it's been well over a decade since I lived in Chicago, I'm 100% behind his candidacy for the congressional seat vacated by Rahm Emmanuel in Illinois. The reason for my support is that Tom has been heartily endorsed by a bunch of folks I respect.
I lived in Chicago and am well aware about how much of a corrupt machine exists in Illinois, and Tom Geoghegan is a great progressive who has constantly fought against it and for the people.
Don't take it from me, listen to the Nation, and David Sirota to name just a couple.
Please chip in
