And Rightly So!

I received an email from the good people at Slatecard. The site is up and running now; it’s purpose is more or less a clearinghouse for fund raising- for GOP candidates. Members can create a “slate card” where they promote candidates based on issues among other vital things.

Beth explains it better:

What this means to you: You can create a list–a “slatecard”–of candidates you’re supporting and for whom you want to raise funds, and then get a widget to put on your blog or website. Like the one below, which has eighteen key races in 2008 to get back the majority in Congress (my main priority, along with the Presidential election!).

She has much more scoop on this, as well as a reminder of Right Roots, and GOP fund raising in general.

Slatecard is a PAC:

Slatecard is a utility to support and enhance Republican activism.

“Slatecard” is Slatecard.com PAC. Slatecard.com PAC is an independent, federally registered political action committee (PAC) which acts as a “conduit” to raise money online to help Republican candidates for federal office in compliance with the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA).

It is no secret that Democrats are far ahead of Republicans in converting their online presence to offline support. One website which the Left has used effectively since 2004, is ActBlue.com (ActBlue PAC), a site which provides a tool for activists and committees to raise funds for the candidates and causes they support. In fact, millions of dollars have been raised through the site since 2004.

It is our hope that Slatecard will level the playing field for Republican candidates and causes by providing an innovative platform for use by the Right kind of activists.

Go over to and check it out. Donate money to the candidates YOU want to see elected.
