Can we finish something started on Thom Hartmann weeks ago?

A few weeks ago a segment on Thom's show had Travis Burton. He is a Democrat running for the Minnesota Senate in D-35. Minnesota has a political matching fund once you get to a threshold level. The show brought in donors from around the USA, but Travis is still shy about $1,250.00. Can we finish the job started on Thom's show? If 125 of us kick in just $10 Travis will get an additional $30,000. I waited until after the first of the month to post this. I know phone calls and emails requesting donations for candidates were coming in for everybody. Travis has a week to raise the funds. His Act Blue account won't be active until Thursday, so you have to donate through his site.

1. Small correction

IF Travis raises enough in time, he would get $10,000 not $30,000 I mentioned from the State of Minnesota political fund.
