Legally, Act Blue can't operate on a state level in Colorado as current law prohibits an intermediary transfer of funds.  So, I created what's known in Colorado as a Small Donor Committee.  In the works for almost a year, finally the i's are all dotted; the t's are all crossed.  The SquareState Small Donor Committee is here.

We've done pontificating, pointed out the failed policies of the extreme right wing, mobilized voters, coordinated grassroots action, and even fundraised for federal races.  It's time to help those local candidates we want to see in office in our somewhat square state.  Let's show (current CO-GOP chair)Dick Wadhams that this isn't the same state the last time he was here.  All the progress made in the last few years, we're just getting started.

I'm sure by now you've all read about Sen. Ted Stevens' remarks that the internet is a series of tubes.  Using an image created by PJ at boingboing.net I put the image and one variation of it on t-shirts using GoodStorm

We've (okay, I've) sold 13 shirts so far for a profit of $45.50.  Three of those are to myself.  I misundertsood GoodStorm's pricing structure and only got $3.50 per shirt. They get 30% of any profit.  I assumed the cost they listed already included their profit.  So I just updated the pricing to make just over $5/shirt, and I'm going to donate an extra $20 to make up that difference.

I'm going to contact a few senators' offices later today or tomorrow about sending them a shirt.

Here's the link to the SquareState store.
Don't order the squarestate shirts yet, we still have some work to do on them.
