| Republican Fundraising Numbers | | 2007-07-04 18:14:00 | | I found the annoucement yesterday evening of the quarterly fundraising report very interesting. The first conclusion that will probably be made is that the democratic candidates have done much better to this point and that's such a bad sign...blah blah blah.I see this much differently than most media outlets will see.First of all, it so early in the game to be running the campaigns at the level we are. The mass majority of people don't even get interested until the debates closer to the primaries. What we're dealing with right now are the political activists of our country. I really do believe that most conservatives haven't garnered much interest yet because of it.Secondly, I still don't think we've seen the predominate Republican candidate yet. I don't think that Giuliani is the man. I believe that people don't have their preferred man to rally around. It's a shame, because I really love Ron Paul. He would get my vote in a heartbeat.

| The New Presidential Campaign Fundraising Totals: What to expect | | 2007-06-23 23:04:00 | | Any day now, the Presidental candidates' fundraising totals are set to be released and revealed. Here's what to expect, what too look out for, and why it matters: Kicking off with the Democrats, we find that the totals generally resemble the first quarter's in terms of who's ahead and who's behind, albeit for one "disruption." We hear from insiders that Clinton is set to once again be first in the fundraising race, with Obama a few million dollars behind, since his momentum is slowing down. Expectedly, the real shakeup deals with John Edwards, who plans to get $9 million this quarter , $5 million less than what he garnered from January - March. Should Bill Richardson exceeds his $6.2 million total from last quarter, he could theoretically effectively challenge Edwards financially. The Republicans' new totals are in the same areas as they were last quarter, except for the former frontrunner, John McCain. McCain is expected by analysts and aides alike to drop in dollars raised, because his popularity was severely damaged by the once dead but now revived Immigration Bill. But because he has spent more time fundraising than other Republicans, he may not suffer such a huge drop after all. No, the race has not significantly changed since the last quarter, suggesting a very stable and very set presidential race. | | By: Washington in the Spotlight | | |

| One Planet Fundraising | | 2007-02-24 17:41:44 | |
Thanks to a tip from one of our readers, I’ve stumbled across One Planet Fundraising, a company that has found a way to run non-zero sum environmental fundraisers. One Planet Fundraising (OPF, if you will) runs fundraisers in which they provide students with energy-saving light bulbs at affordable prices. The students then sell the light bulbs in their communities. So, not only are the students raising money, but they are also saving energy, raising awareness in their communities about saving energy, and helping to instill good habits in those around them. For more information, please take the time to check out OPF!
