Wednesday, I offered a proposal: I will do a dollar for dollar match for every dollar given to Debra Bowen (running for CA Secretary of State), Charlie Brown (running against John 15% Doolittle), and Jerry McNerney (running against Richard "Paid-For" Pombo) using the Calitics ActBlue page through 5:00 pm today, up to the following limits:

Debra Bowen:  $1,000
Charlie Brown:  $500
Jerry McNerney: $500

The McNerney and Brown teams have really stepped up, and put both of those candidates over my cap, leaving only Debra Bowen under the cap as of 7:30 this morning:

Debra Bowen:  $748.35
Charlie Brown:  $538.34
Jerry McNerney:  $578.34

I matched yesterday's contributions (up to the cap) over coffee this morning. I would love to see the Bowen fans step up and hit the cap, so let's see what you can do. She's a great candidate, on the side of the angels as far as voting integrity, and she's in a tight race, so your money really counts.

And for those who still want to contribute to Brown or McNerney, you can gamble against the Bowen folks. If Bowen's contributions don't hit my $1K cap, I'll fill the gap with a proportional match of everything you contribute over $500 each up to a total of $2,000 for the combined contributions across all three candidates.

Let's see what y'all can do by 5:00, California time.

And, because I'm a broken record, don't forget to tip ActBlue.
