I have put up a spreadsheet showing how much each Great Slate candidate raised in the Q3 compared to their opponent, along with how much candidates took from political action committees (PACs). It was an astonishing quarter. Some remarks in this thread.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U47t87mmio17BSAwywKCnhxpyuqZnWJHyrF4bi_YEbM/edit#gid=0 …

Our giving is just a fraction of what candidates raised. Most of it came from inside their district. But fundraising success builds on success, and your donations have helped get people off the fence. There's a multiplier effect. Keep multiplying!https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

My final bonus remark is that we have to fix this entire system of funding campaigns. These aren't anywhere near the expensive ones—we end up with millions in corporate money and an electorate saturated with bullshit ads. We back these people so they can reform this system.

You got that right -- your help is *crucial*. In this age of too-much-special-interest money, democracy doesn't function properly without a champion for the people. A little like justice lacking in courts without competent attorneys on both sides. Great Slate=People's Champion.

I'm flattered with this beautiful image, but I think of us more as a lamprey attached to the wallet of the tech industry. This is no way to run a political system.
