11 pm bat update: more than $13 million without offline contributions

25 Hours to Go-- And 2 Incredible Milestones Reached

You have done it.

Because of your hard work in spreading the word about our campaign-- because you reached out every time we asked you to, to help build the campaign by word-of-mouth, person to person at the grassroots level-- we have reached the goal we set so long ago a day early.

Thanks to your efforts, there are now 450,632 Americans standing with you, working to restore the American community and our standing in the world community.

And as of 11 pm ET, you have broken the 3rd bat-- and raised an incredible $13,011,697 through 154,556 contributions for Howard Dean and our campaign to take our country back.

And in 25 hours, we will reach our goal of $15 million-- because of your efforts.

Generation Dean did a phenomenal job helping us reach the 450,000th supporter. Amanda Michel and others worked all day to get names of supporters from organizers at Binghamton, CalTech, George Mason U., Georgetown, SJSU, Utah U., U. Kansas, Bard and Columbia. Supporter Walter Ludwig of Maryland for Dean responded late tonight with the names of supporters who signed up at a rally earlier this month. And Kenn Herman and Lindsey Melander here at Burlington HQ have worked diligently to load up everyone's names and de-duplicate the lists, and we would never have reached this goal without them.

And we would never have reached this goal without you.

Two million to goal. We should have the offline numbers for you in an hour. Until then, let's swing this new bat!

1. Thanks, pruner!

Excellent news. We're staying competitive with the mighty Rove-Bush smear machine.

Good for Dean! He's working for every cent of it too! I'm behind everyone of our candidates and whoever wins,I'm going to support them. ANYBODY but Bu$h!!!!!!!!!!

3. Does this include donation figures from the House calls?

Our small group had several hundred collected.

4. Did you report the contributions online yet?

If not, make sure you do by midnight tomorrow night...otherwise the campaign will not be able to count it.

If anyone is planning to donate to the September to Remember challenge and have not done so already, I am about $90 short of my personal goal. If you want to donate through my site and help me reach my goal, you can do so here. Thanks a bunch!

6. I guess the host will do that. She will get the number probably.

For a small group we did pretty well. Hey, I would be glad to help you make the goal, but hubby would kill me. Good luck on it, though.

:hi:

The finance staff is still receiving reports from the house calls and counting the mail and phone money, which should be ready by midnight.

Let's give them a fresh bat for all of that. This bat was yours all day, and you've been building it. It's yours to put to bed. You've raised more than $320,000 online today.

Descirbe in detail any of Dean positions. Or would you prefer to just talk about money. You all certinaly know his money and crowd numbers, but what about his positions (i.e. what he would actually do in office). If you're new to politics are you not supposed to know?

9. Not even close and you know it

I am fully aware of his positions
thx
