ActBlue & Blogosphere Day

It seems like yesterday I was constantly clicking refresh while watching Ginny Schrader's fundraising numbers shoot through the roof on ActBlue.

Or 2005, as I sat in my Ohio apartment, talking on the phone with Hackett campaign staff while Bob Brigham noted the different blogs and institutions raising money for the OH-2 Special Election.

Or last year, at Ned Lamont's campaign headquarters, as your outpouring of support propelled the campaign to an unlikely primary victory.

But today, I didn't make a contribution to an individual candidate -- I made it to what is probably the most valuable piece of progressive infrastructure out there: ActBlue.

I recorded a short video talking about why I gave my $50 to ActBlue this blogosphere day, and I hope you'll join me in making this years' festivities even more exciting than the past three.  -- Tim
