Vote now for the 2010 FDL Fire Dogs<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Lisa Derrick's Dog Dexter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New York Congressman Eric Massa shot up from #6 to overtake Arizona’s Raul Grijalva for the #3 spot in the week-long contest where the FDL community votes to determine who will be the 2010 FDL Fire Dogs.<\/p>\n

Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts also leaped from #27 to #16 after posting the contest on his Facebook page<\/a>. Alan Grayson still maintains a commanding lead.<\/p>\n

Members of Congress are getting serious about looking for online campaign support after Alan Grayson’s eye-popping fourth quarter haul of $861,000 from small-dollar donations. As a freshman he was given a choice spot on the House Financial Services Committee so he could secure donations from Wall Street interests and defend his Florida swing district seat, a top Republican target.<\/p>\n

But unlike his fellow freshmen who raised big money<\/a> from finance interests, Grayson stood up to the banks<\/a> and joined with Ron Paul to whip cosponsors for their “Audit the Fed” bill. He subsequently received very little money from financial interests. But by eschewing bank support Grayson was able to raise more than any other DCCC frontline candidate from low dollar online donations last quarter, which averaged $35 apiece.<\/p>\n

How does he do it? Well for starters, Grayson respects our community. He spends time on the blog talking with readers about the bills he introduces. He treats people on the blogs the way other members of Congress treat Goldman Sachs or Pfizer. These readers are smart — they understand if someone is saying one thing and doing another. They watch committee and procedural votes. And they’ve liberated Grayson from groveling for PAC donations. His independent actions on the Financial Services Committee are a direct result of that financial freedom.<\/p>\n

Voting will continue until next Tuesday night at midnight, and the winner will be announced on Wednesday. But daily vote tallies will be released on FDL each day at 3pm.<\/p>\n

Just to recap, here are the prizes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The first, second and third place winner will be added to an FDL ActBlue fundraising page.<\/li>\n
  2. Voter lists from the winners\u2019 districts will be purchased and entered into our Voter ID\/GOTV tool.<\/li>\n
  3. Members of the FDL community will call voters in these districts to identify and persuade constituent support, encourage voter registration and recruit volunteers.<\/li>\n
  4. Those voters will be called again by the FDL community to help turn out voters during the fall election.<\/li>\n
  5. When $10,000 has been raised for each candidate on ActBlue and 500 Voter ID calls logged, we will rerun the contest and add 3 more candidates to the list.<\/li>\n
  6. Those who are already on the list will receive the same incentives for another cycle, subject to a confirmation vote by the community so they remain accountable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Voting will close at midnight on Tuesday, February 9. Vote now.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

    And the Day 2 FDL Fire Dog vote totals are. . .<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
