Actually, since it's 6pm here in Iowa City, where I sit preparing for our "official" kickoff event on Saturday, it's probably either more or less, depending upon whether the FEC goes by Eastern Standard Time. I guess I should put that on the "things to find out".
We haven't been able to flog the Draft Gore 2008 PAC's $5 Qualifying Contribution Primary for the past 10 days as we'd hoped, as we lost our satellite's modem to a flash flood in South Central Kentucky on June 18th. Hopefully, a new one will arrive in Iowa within the next few days. In the meantime, I'm relying on free wi-fi from the Coral Ridge Mall's Panera Bread. Despite our being off the Net, over 1250 Gore supporters have contributed $5 or more since June 1st. With just over 2 days left, that leaves us with just under 750 to go to reach our goal of 2008.
I'd like to post more on the event, but my nine-year old is sitting patiently across from me, slowly decimating the Asagio foccacia, which was supposed to accompany tonight's dinner. However, I will be back tomorrow morning to answer any questions regarding DG08 PAC's mission, action plan and current events and activities.
I do hope local Iowa City folk can come out for this Saturday's event in City Park. We'll have Draft Gore bumperstickers and T-shirts, with a limited "If we build it, he will run!" slogans on the back.
Please help us reach this goal for the second quarter FEC filing, closing this Friday.
