Huckabee News

First, let’s get some people involved in volunteering:

We haven’t even promoted it on the blog or to the campaign email list and we only just added the new form to the campaign website, and already we have 70 Volunteers (Texas is leading the way!).  To sign up and Volunteer for the campaign, click here.

Update:  We have had 10 more over last 18 minutes!

Update:  Top three states:  Texas, Virginia and Michigan.  Over 100 Volunteers now.

Update:  11:42 PM - 355 Volunteers and counting…

And for those who want to know the fundraising numbers:

A couple of thoughts about the 3rd Quarter FEC Report:

1)  Between 7/1 and 8/11 the campaign raised roughly $213,000 or $5,195 per day.

2) Between 8/12 and 9/30 the campaign raised roughly $805,000 or $16,428 per day.

3)  Just over $600,000 of the 3rd quarter total was raised online or 60% of the overall total.  The cost to raise this money is .08 cents on the dollar.  That includes the cost of online advertising, consultants, website development, servers, etc.  this gives the campaign the ability to net large amounts of dollars.

4)  The campaign has averaged $20,000 online a day over the last 10 days.

5)  The campaign has raised $160,000 through the first three days of October.

6)  The average contribution online for the 3Q is roughly $86.

… a formal press release has been promised shortly, and I’ll be sure to pass that along.

In the meantime, if you haven’t checked out the site, please take a look around. Governor Huckabee has been labeled a second-tier candidate because he wasn’t already a big star, but he keeps on climbing as people get to know him. You should get to know him, too.
