In 2007 ActBlue Democrats raised ten times more funds than in 2005. Because of ActBlue's phenomenal growth there are thousands more participants in the Democratic process and we fully expect their accumulated activity to reach $100 million by the time ballots are cast in November. That's $100 million raised for Democrats across the country on ActBlue. It's clear that 2008 is going to be a watershed year for Democrats up and down the ballot. ActBlue Democrats are at the forefront of that success.
We rely on the tens of thousands of people who support us through tipping (59,346 in 2007). That support keeps us afloat so we can empower more people to support campaigns and influence the political process. Tips allow ActBlue to add more staff to provide hands-on customer service and train activists nationwide. Tips allow us to deliver more enhanced features on our website. Tips are the fuel that keeps ActBlue burning.
It's only fitting that we end stats week by recognizing the extraordinary action and escalating growth of ActBlue with a humble thank you to all those who left us a tip in 2007 making all of this possible.
