Senate Conservatives Fund
Posted at 3:45pm on Jun. 18, 2008 Well, at least there's *some* good news coming out of the NRSC. [UPDATE: And NRCC.]
Whether you consider that good news yourself is of course open to question.

The NRSC is announcing (via Roll Call) that they have exceeded expectations at this year's President's Dinner fundraiser: $13.5 million, or $1.5 million over their goal (it's a joint fundraiser between them and the NRCC, which was aiming for $7 million; I've got a call out to find out how they did) [UPDATE: They raised $8 million, or $1 million over their goal]. To give perspective, the NRSC's 2007 total was $7.5 million; in 2006, it was $12 million; and in 2004, $7 million. Said dinner will headline the President, but not Senator McCain... which is again one of those things that you can take any way you like; and no doubt, most people will.
Folks, brass tacks time. You're unhappy with the job performance of the GOP's legislative branch. Fair enough; so am I. But it's an election year, and if we want to have fights for offshore drilling (see also this) and investigations into possibly tainted mortgage legislation and logrolling bad legislation - and, oh, yes, doing their part to make sure we don't actually lose the war - then we actually need to have legislators in there doing the fighting.
So... this is the NRSC's donation page. This is the NRCC's donation page. If you can't bear it, really and truly, here's Senator DeMint's new Senate Conservatives Fund. Failing that, there's always the RNC, or a local race. And, of course, John McCain. There's got to be somebody on that list that you can give money to.
The situation is what it is, folks. And the thing about situations is: it can always get worse. It can always get worse.

Posted at 10:37am on Jun. 17, 2008 RedState Radio: Senator Jim DeMint and the Senate Conservatives Fund
By Erick
This week I turned over the RedState podcast microphone to my good friend Andy Roth at the Club for Growth.
Andy interviewed Senator Jim DeMint about the Senator's new Senate Conservatives Fund. The SCF if dedicated to electing real conservatives to the United States Senate.
Both Andy and Senator DeMint are good friends of RedState and Senator DeMint has waged a good, hard fight for conservatives in the United States Senate. We should all support this effort.
Senator DeMint tells Andy what it's all about in the podcast.
