The first quarter of 2008 represents 15.4% of all ActBlue donors since 2004, and an increase of 3.7% in donors from last quarter. As the number of donors skyrockets, we want the number of fundraising pages to soar as well. You can help us reach our goal of adding 10,000 new fundraising pages by election day by starting your own fundraising page and reaching out to your personal network to raise money for Democrats.
