THIS IS PART OF THE 2+2 THREAD:

For actual election results, earlier donations are more effective now than it will be the day before elections. However, for getting our message out, the final number of donors and amount we raise is going to be huge for convincing politicians all over the country that our voice DOES matter.

In all future correspondence to politicians, wouldn't it be nice to state, "In a matter of just seven days, poker players raised $10,000 to battle against the senator that sponsored online gambling." Even if Kyl wins, we could still state, "While some politicians made it past this first round, poker players are becoming increasingly organized and we are not going to stand for it anymore. Next time around, we'll raise $100,000 against any politician that tries to take our rights away!"

This type of message (money and votes) is going to resonate with most politicians. So, if you have read this, stop feeling squeemish about not donating something. It takes about one minute! You'll feel better about yourself when you do. Hell, every one of us can afford a few bucks. But, there is one important point you are making: don't wait till the last minute. Time is of the essence, and for these elections, there's not much time left.

And if by some miracle Pederson pulls off the upset... oh man... it would be huge! If our donations were at least above $10,000, we could definately tell every politician in the nation that we stood up and helped tip the balance!

Politicians will take our correspondence more seriously if we can pass the $10,000 mark in just one week. We could then infer that we could raise over $100,000 in a year! We've got to work together to get here. Talk to friends, neighbors, family, anyone you can...

Heck, if a couple of higher stake players could donate a bit more, we might even be able to pass $25,000 before elections!
