OC Marathoning to Beat Issa!
Donation protected
Oh hey friend. You're probably here because you committed to my OC Marathon effort to raise $$ to beat Darrell Issa in order to "thank" him for his deciding vote to Obamacare repeal vote. If that's not you, no worries: you can donate too!
Long story short: click the "DONATE NOW" button to deliver those committed dollars!
A timeline explaining how we got here and how this is all gonna go down:
November 8, 2016: Rep. Darrell Issa squeaks by in his 2016 Congressional race by a mere 1,621 votes.
May 4, 2017: Darrell Issa votes for the disastrous AHCA, which would strip health insurance from at least 36,000 of his own constituents (per CBO scoring of previous, less egregious, version of the bill) while giving himself - the richest House member - a GIGANTIC tax cut.
May 5, 2017: I challenge my friends and family to commit dollars to beat Darrell Issa for every sub-6 mile I run at the OC Marathon, just north of Issa's district. They come through big time, cuz they're awesome.
May 7, 2017: Fueled by my friend's commitments adding up to $89/mile, I run 23 sub-6's...which adds up to over $2k. My body hates me. I remind my body that we did that really silly marathon thing for AMERICA.
May 13-20, 2017: Friends deliver the committed dollars through this GoFundMe page. Additional people probably chip in too, because they're also great.
~May 20, 2017: I transfer 100% of those dollars to the SwingLeft CA-49 District Fund,* and then post a photo of that transaction on the social mediaz so that everybody knows for sure that I'm not stealing money from them.
Day After Primary Election: Our funds are transferred directly to the campaign of Darrell Issa's opponent (likely Mike Levin or Douglas Applegate ), giving him a critical head start on fundraising for the November showdown with Issa.
Prior to General Election: We all go spend some fun weekends together in San Diego, knocking on doors to beat this guy.
November 6, 2018: Darrell Issa loses, Dems take back the House. Reasonable Americans, lovers of democracy, and those who care for their fellow humans rejoice.
*Note on where the funds are going: 90% of the funds will go directly to Darrell Issa's opponent upon winning the primary, 10% will IMMEDIATELY support SwingLeft's efforts to organize in vulnerable GOP districts and beat other Republicans that voted to restructure 1/6 of the economy without a single hearing and without bothering to wait for an analysis of how their updated bill would affect the budget or, well, people.
Long story short: click the "DONATE NOW" button to deliver those committed dollars!
