Honestly, I can't do this without you.

From the beginning, this campaign has been about the netroots taking the next step to becoming the mainstream. You've been fantastic, but we need more if we are to win the primary. If we implement the plan below we will win and set the stage to win in November. We need to make a lot of noise and talk to a lot of people. Not enough people know about us and even fewer understand why we are doing this.

Without the money, there is no campaign - so I'm not going to beat around the bush.  We need money; we need it now. We need your help.  If you believe in candidates emerging from the netroots, like I know you do, then please contribute.

It's deadline day for 3rd quarter FEC reports, and the one I was really waiting for was from Charlie Brown.  He didn't disappoint.

Cash raised in Q3: $212,091
Total cash raised this cycle: $495,830 (wow!)
Cash on hand: $382,767

Media's not cheap in that district, but certainly nowhere near as expensive as in many other parts of the state.  So this is an even bigger haul, comparatively.

How much did John Doolittle take in, you ask?  This is embarrassing.

Cash raised in Q3: $50,308
Total cash raised this cycle: $296,332
Cash on hand: $37,995

That's LESS than Eric Egland, one of his primary opponents, raised.  AND, 15% of that goes to Doolittle's wife, right?

Things are looking good in the Sierras...

LA-area Democrats are taking a fresh look at unseating Congressman David Dreier after a new report showing his fundraising drying up.<> <>"I'm not sure any Republicans bordering on a blue area feel secure," LA County Democratic Chair Eric Bauman told The Daily News today. "We certainly have our eyes on that seat." <> <>FEC reports show that Dreier has scooped up only $27,000 in the last two quarters. In the past, Dreier has typically raked into $100,000 - $200,000 per quarter. Dreier's drop in fundraising is due in large part to Republicans being on the out's in Congress. <> <>Dreier won handily in 2006 after a scare in 2004. He remains one of the top GOP mouthpieces on Capitol Hill -- reason enough for Democrats to take him on.
