Big Fundraising News!

Hillary's campaign announced their fundraising numbers for the month of Februrary, and the news is huge. They've had their biggest month since Hillary set out on the campaign trail, raising over $35 million!

The vast majority of this money came in on-line.

Another thing to note is that over 200,000 of the people who've donated were first-time donors.

Peter Daou - Hillary's Internet Director had this to say on her website's blog - take a look...

As Hillary's Internet Director, I want to share some great news with you: today, our campaign announced that we've raised approximately $35 million in contributions for the month of February, $30 million of which is grassroots donations from supporters like you! It's an amazing show of support for Hillary and we are immensely grateful to you.

Along with this outpouring of support, you've sent in thousands of moving and inspiring emails and letters.

Here are a few samples:

Hey everyone, I am a poor grad student, but I just donated $15.44 to Hillary's campaign. If I can do it, almost everybody can. I'll just eat ramen noodles for dinner tonight!!! Please people, match my donation of $15.44!! Will anyone take me up on my offer??? MADAM PRESIDENT, NEVER LOSE FAITH! WE ARE BEHIND YOU! PEACE TO EVERYONE!!!

I just donated $50.00. $5 for me and 9 $5 contributions for those who can not. Keep up the great work everyone. I am volunteering here in Ohio. I live just 15 miles from the campaign office in Columbus.

I love it. My husband just called me from his job. We were discussing Hillary...I told him I was not giving up, I am getting ready to make some Texas calls after I donate my $5.00 for today. He said quit being cheap, send at least 25.00, we will be blessed, and send some more next week! Gotta love the men who know a strong woman when they see one!

- Robin from Gary, IN

It is going to be an uphill fight and we are all on it!!! I donated my lunch money today and will make calls tonight and other days within the next 14 days. I am sacrificing my time because this is our moment to shine with HILLARY!!!! March is HILLARY's month and she will close and win the nomination by June!!! Let us fight with HILLARY because this is our future and our children's future at stake, we cannot afford to lose this battle! YES WE WILL HILL!!!!

- Ed from Los Angeles

I just made another donation of $100.44. I live pay check to pay check because my husband is currently unemployed but I am willing to max out my credit cards to help Hillary win the nomination. I want to be able to tell my children and my grandchildren that I participated in the most exciting election process in our history and that I helped a woman knock down doors and walls that have stood in our way for hundreds of years. I believe in you Hillary and so do the American people. We need to stay positive and work hard to ensure success in the coming weeks. We need the big guns to come out now and we need to be competitive on our T.V. ads! I challenge everyone reading this blog to donate $10.44 before the end of the day . . . we can make a difference.

- Betty from Turlock, CA

My husband just walked into my office after checking his e-mail and asked, "So did you send $5 to Hillary today yet?" I said, "Not yet, but how about I send $20.44." He said, "Sounds good." And when he left, I smiled. Gotta love a man who gets it!

- Joy from Forest City, IA

I talked with a woman whose birthday is today-SHE IS 101 YEARS OLD! YAY!! She will be voting and said she has done her civic duty for MANY years. I guess so! Let's keep calling, I think the personal contact helps. WE'RE IN IT TO WIN IT!!!!!

- Deborah from Romulus, NY

I can really relate to that first note - when I first moved to the DC area in the summer of 1984 I worked for a House Subcommittee and was paid the paltry sum of $12,000 a year. I ate a LOT of Ramen Noodles!

At any rate, I thought folks might like to hear this good news. Leave a comment and let us know what you think or how the campaign's going in your neck of the woods.

In the meantime, dig deep and help Hillary start off March with a big push.

DONATE HERE!

Help Hillary compete in Texas & Ohio buy sending her the resources she needs for ad buys.

Thanks!
