Past history of the DU raising funds on ActBlue usually is only overly successful with Presidential candidates. I have been asked to do several new links. Dividing them up in groups of Senate and House. You would be able to donate to several candidates at one time. You would control the percentage each candidate receives. These would be for candidates in tight races (battleground seats). Please provide an honest opinion below.

Think. Again.
(19,331 posts)6. I have used ActBlue in the past though not through DU...
...and I would be willing to us ActBlue through DU for down ballot donations.
(And thank you, Omaha Steve, for the work you do and for trying to help us donate to the all-important Congressional and Senate races.)

for many different candidates, through DU and through other means. I think this is a great idea to have this available for numerous candidates through the DU. Thank you Steve!
