Monthly donations to CSP's campaign are a great way to show continuing support (4.00 / 1)
for her fabulous work.  I consider myself extremely fortunate to be represented by CSP,  (and got to meet her  at the first Blue Hampshire Bash).  To help her do her job and not have to worry so much about fundraising, my Husband and I send a monthly donation to her Campaign.  It's not a large sum,  but it is consistent, and if means one less fundraising call she has to make each month, or one less piece of mail that needs to be sent,  then she is able to spend more time doing what she does best, which is represent NH-01.  
Me too (0.00 / 0)
Not a lot, but as you note, something she can count on.  And if they waste postage to send a thank, I chide them!  The thanks go the other way.

And without taking business pac money (4.00 / 1)
Carol's fundraising numbers are even more impressive when you realize that she does it without taking any money from business pacs. That is not an easy task, and it means that supporters like us have to help make up the difference. Small regular contributions from folks like us, combined with sensible campaign outlays are the backbone of a successful campaign. She's working for us in Washington; let's back her up here at home.

As Carol's finance chair, I'd like to thank everyone who helped make this quarter our best so far!  As you know, Carol doesn't accept any contributions from business PAC's or D.C. lobbyists, but with our great grassroots network we managed to raise over $200,000 in the second quarter.  So far we've received support from 1,408 individual New Hampshire donors in 164 towns throughout the state.  That's a tremendous demonstration of strong grassroots support right here in the Granite State.

Whack-a-mole, anyone?
No grass roots support for R's (4.00 / 1)
The Republicans appear to have little or no grass roots support.  Guinta, Mahoney and Ashooh all raised less than $125,800, with Ashooh at only $106,000.  

I know Mahoney is wealthy, but where does Guinta get the money to lend his campaign $240,000?  Being a congressional staffer and then a mayor of Manchester doesn't result in that kind of discretionary income.

Keyword: lend (0.00 / 0)
Despite recent rhetoric otherwise, that's Republican fiscal policy.
