Where $1 Could Have A Big Impact

As I continue my update on the success and non success of Republican House incumbents and Candidates; I would like to make a very important point to all you grassroots activists out there on the factors those days that surround reporting how much money you raised in a Quarter.

There are 3 basic areas where campaigns brag about there numbers:

First and foremost how much they raised, this is a number that if you can’t give a nice some of money you by yourself cant impact the candidates numbers.

Second is how much money came from the district, so if you live outside the district even if you would give the maximum allowed you would not help his cause to show that he has strong district support (please still donate as much as you could because our candidates need it!)

And third is the average contribution to their campaign. And here is where my point is and you folks out there could significantly impact the image of republican struggling to raise money.  If a campaign has a 1000 people contributing $1 and 100 people giving a $1000 they could put out a press release that they raised $101,000 from 1100 people and it brings down their average contribution significantly and it’s a cheap way to give a candidate some public relations in times of need.  This is how Obama’s contributions are on such a low dollar average.
