With two days left in 2017, I want to repost a couple of threads from traveling to a bunch of Congressional districts, that show why your favorite parody bookmarking account went full loco fundraising for this overwhelming, pivotal election ahead.

Here's a visit I made to Searcy, Arkansas, with
@cantbuypaul. The tiny contingent of Democrats there is fighting to keep schoolchildren from literally having the food taken from their plates at lunchtime.https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/932456322506854401 …Pinboard added,

Here's a drive through the Very Large Array in New Mexico on my way to drop a check in
@Mad_Hildebrandt's mailbox. Mad had been running on pure grit in an open district; I thought we should see what it would be like if she ran on pure grit and some money.https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/931004371785175040 …Pinboard added,
Pinboard @PinboardYesterday I drove to see the Very Large Array in central New Mexico. This is a spectacular configuration of giant antennas spread out over miles on a high-altitude plain in the middle of nowhere. It was built for $1 per taxpayer, back before there was a war on science pic.twitter.com/qPohl7J982Show this thread2 replies 6 retweets 9 likesShow this thread -

Here's canvassing with two volunteers for Greg Edwards, one of whom works two jobs and skipped a night's sleep to knock doors for the first time for his pastor, because he thinks this is important.https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/942952520770621440 …

Most importantly, there are interviews with each candidate I met, that give you a picture of who they are as people, and why they are fighting so hard in these forgotten districts. https://techsolidarity.org/resources.html

The support the tech community has shown for these people has already exceeded my wildest hopes. Let's send them into the New Year as fortified as possible with the resources they'll need to win, because we badly need them to win!https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

How far is each from the DNC acknowledgment limit? Is that what the current $750k goal represents?

no, the current goal is an arbitrary number. I believe all the candidates are going to make it over the line
