Hope this does start to get more attention. We need to fight fire with fire at this point.

The first goal of the Mayday (MayOne) PAC was to raise a million by the end of May, and if that goal was met go for $5 million in June. There are already over $860,000 in pledges with 20 days left, so it seems great momentum is being built.

I find this hopeful, and think the story will gain traction when the May goal is exceeded by a huge margin.
