After meeting our original three day goal in a little over four hours, we doubled it. We have now met that new goal, doubling our original three day goal in about eight hours. And contributions are still coming in. Needless to say we are very pleased with the results so far, and thanks to everyone who has contributed.
Because of the incredible response, we are raising our goal to $3000 and 100 contributors by Friday. Please consider contributing if you haven't already, and if you have, please encourage your online friends and neighbors to contribute, too. Contributions of as little as $5 can help send the message that Tennessee Democrats are ready to get busy.
