Ten Buck Fridays is a small-d democratic moneybomb project of the patriotic blogosphere. It is the brainchild of Conscientiously Conservative, who opined that small donations can result in big changes in November, and that if we bring our lunch to work once or twice a week we can save enough money to send $10 every Friday to a worthy candidate.
Her idea has sent shoots and tendrils all across the internet, and many bloggers are participating. Here's the explanation, courtesy of Right Klik:
1. Nominations for deserving candidates are submitted [to Right Klik] on Sundays. ([Right Klik is] curating nominations tomorrow at RK, but any interested bloggers could also host nomination posts).2. Conservatives vote on the top 10 nominees through the week (Online polling is shared by multiple blogs for cumulative votes).3. On Friday, the candidate who is #1 in the weekly online poll gets hit with $10 money bombs (money goes DIRECTLY from the donors to the candidate).4. Participants put the words "Ten Buck Fridays" in the online donation form so that recipients know what's happening!
The "occupation" line on the online donation form is a handy place to indicate Ten Buck Fridays.
Of course, you can send more or less. This week's winner is Anna Little, who is running against a well-funded Democrat in New Jersey's 6th District. Please visit Anna Little's website and donate what you can to this worthy candidate.
Onwards to November!
Many thanks for this post!
ReplyDeletePlease encourage friends, family, readers, and fellow tweeters donate generously this 4th of July weekend. The Anna Little campaign will be providing feedback on total donations received under the TBF banner so let’s show them what we can do!
And don’t forget to put “Ten Buck Fridays” in the field where it asks for your occupation… That’s how they know who we are!

Thank you so much for spreading the news about Ten Buck Fridays to your readers -- I'm grateful! Grassroots at it's best!
ReplyDeletePlease nominate Patricia Sullivan, Conservative Republican, for Congress in the 8th Congressional District, Fl.for Ten Buck Fridays. The seat is currently held by Alan Grayson. Patricia, being the only Republican to qualify for the ballot by petition and a real peoples grass roots candidate is the one to beat him. To do so she needs all the financial support your contacts can muster in order to make her message heard. Can you help??
