When do fundraising totals get released?

[WillyBrandt]

I know it takes a while to tally this stuff to get an exact, legal figure--but when can we expect them to be in?

How long did it take last quarter?

(Also: Happy New Year's to everyone! I was, alas, banned for a day, since I posted a number of messages calling the user who posted the Dean/Hitler photo a freeper. And I called out a certain user who trumpeted the photo as proof of Clark supporters' mendacity on the sheer uglyness of that tactic. But now I've added my first and only user to my "Ignore" list, so I hope that from ignorance comes bliss.)

1. I'm shocked

You are one of the best-mannered people on DU! But the Ignore function does help. Willy, we raised $900 on that anti-smear thread thanks to you. :)

edit: spelling

4. Thanks!

When I started on here, I engaged in a bit of Dean-bashing, but have gotten over it. First, I realize I like Dean, and would rather do Clark-defending than Dean bashing. Second, it's good not to be an asshole.

In fact, DU really needs only one rule: Don't be an asshole. But you've got to codify that into more objective rules, and I broke them, and that's fine.

5. Oh yeah...

And I'm really amazed how well that fundraising drive worked out! To think that the user named "Ignored" caused Clark's warchest to rise by nearly a grand in a day!

2. Depends on how ashamed they are of their efforts n/t

3. Jan. 15th I think

Pretty sure about that.

6. Will Kerry's total include his loan to himself?

I've seen a 2.5 megabuck Kerry figure for Q4. If that includes his loan, he's in deep trouble.

7. I think the loan hasn't been finalized

But he did get a short term loan against his house for $850,000.00.

So he raised just over 1.5 mil.

And it's all Dean's fault.

9. The loan will be included in the final totals, but I think that $2.5 is

just fundraising.

(JK will need to itemize the contribution from himself, mark it a loan, and add it into the final total.)

8. January 31

Quarterly reports are due on the 15th of April, July and October, but they have until the 31st for the end-of-year bookkeeping.
