Fundraising update: Dean eligible for matching funds!

Many of you have written to us asking how Dean's fundraising efforts are going. Specifically, many people wanted to know if he's met the guidelines for federal matching funds. The answer is YES! I just got off the phone with one of the finance guys at Dean campaign headquarters (not sure if I can mention his name, so I won't), and he confirmed that Gov. Dean has indeed met the 20-state guideline. What does this mean? This means that from here on out, any contribution of $250 or less will be matched by the FEC. This means that your support is more valuable than ever because every time you donate up to $250, the campaign receives an equal amount from the FEC! He wanted me to remind Dean supporters of some of the donation guidelines, so here goes.

First of all, the donations must be accompanied by your occupation and employer information! These fields are included in both the online contribution form and the printable form (.pdf format). This information is required by the FEC, and if it is included the donation is matched. Second, an individual may donate up to $2000, all of which will be matched by the FEC if the required info is included and it is in increments of $250 or less.

He also confirmed that they're enthusiastic about the Million Dollar Meetup Challenge, and as a matter of fact, it was included in the mailout that was sent earlier today. Everyone at Dean HQ is very impressed by the internet support, and it is a real morale-booster around the office. They are grateful to everyone who's attended the meetups and helped organise the campaign at the grassroots level.
