Greg Meyers (R-Houston), who is opposing State Rep. Hubert Vo (D-Houston) in the race for Texas House District 149 has filed a fairly lackluster six-month financial report which includes some fairly interesting donors.
Of the about $57,000 that Meyers raised, about 40 percent came from the usual right-wing sources: Bob “Swift Boat” Perry gave $10,000; Texans for Lawsuit Reform gave $10

According to this AP article (via Hot Air), Barack Obama's fundraising is getting lower:
Democrat Barack Obama raised $22 million in May for his presidential campaign, his weakest fundraising month this year, and ended the month with $43 million cash on hand, the campaign reported Friday.This could indicate that people have become understandably discouraged from supporting him, as they've learned
A day after his Democratic opponent said he would forgo public financing for his presidential drive, Sen. John McCain's campaign announced its best fundraising month. McCain disclosed that he raised $21.5 million in May, spending $11.6 million and ending the month with $1.27 million in unpaid bills.

I don't know about anyone else out there, but I could surely scream if my kids bring home another sausage and cheese fundraiser - or any fundraiser that requires them to market goofy, expensive stuff. I understand that the school is trying to raise money, and it's not that I don't want to support the school. It's just that these types of fundraisers are a major PITA!They offer these prize incentives, so the more they sell, the more chance the child might have to get a cheap, useless. .50 cent toy that's going to break in the first 30 minutes. However, the kids don’t understand that. All they know is they want the cool looking toy that is on the prize list. So of course, they want to go around the neighborhood begging asking everyone they know to buy these overpriced, useless products. Th

'''Fundraising for the [[2008 United States presidential election]]''' plays a central role in many presidential campaigns, and is a key factor in determining the viability of candidates. Money raised is applied in many ways, such as for the salaries of non-volunteers in the campaign, transportation, campaign materials, and [[Advertising|media advertisements]]. Under United States law, candidates are required to file campaign finance details with the [[Federal Elections Commission]] (FEC) at the end of every calendar quarter. Summaries of these reports ar
What is Your Fundraising Goal?Many organizations depend on fundraising to get the things they need. People fundraise to get a new swimming pool for their town, or to get special facilities for their school. Sometimes people fundraise to get money for people who need special health care or to help disabled or disadvantaged people. Fundraising is always for a good cause and helps people or organizations in their hour of need.Once you take on the role of fundraiser, the first thing to do is set a specific goal. Whether it's a large goal or a small one, it needs to be phrased in a way that people can relate to before they will get involved. Naturally the fundraising is to raise money, but what is the money actually for? Does the school need 10 new computers? How would this change the lives of
I just got email from the Noriega campaign:
Midnight marks the end of the quarter, and our opponents, the media and the pundits will be watching our fundraising numbers very closely. We're just a few thousand dollars short of our $35,000 online fundraising goal, and I need you to help us reach it.
This campaign is about new leadership for Texas, from the bottom-up, to fight the failed policies of Cornyn and the Bush Administration. I'm doing everything I can to make sure this year is Cornyn's last as a U.S. Senator — and with your help we will win this Senate seat in November.
There are a ton of great reasons to donate a couple bucks to Rick Noriega:

Here's another interesting fundraising idea for shelters and rescues! You know those custom silicone bracelets and car magnets that are so pupular!Silicone bracelets have been popular for many years, but really came into their own when Lance Armstrong began promoting the yellow his Livestrong bracelet. Many millions of those yellow silicone bracelets were sold to raise money for his foundation and cancer research.Here's a company that can help you design your car magnet or bracelet, sell you the bracelet at about 85 cents per and you can sell them for about $2.00. And the car magnets are about $2.17 each for an order of including the "one time" set up charge, and you could sell your magnet for about $5.00. Not too bad. And it helps promote your rescue or shelter at the same time!May be wo

If you run a nonprofit organization–especially one with a small budget–you may be making a costly mistake. You may be trying to write your own fundraising letters.

The secret to reducing your direct mail fundraising costs is counterintuitive, like fertilizer. Next time you’re out in the boonies, watch as a farmer spreads fertilizer over his field.
