1. Cooper's people are listening to their supporters, too

I got a contribution request from them, and could not find a mailing address anywhere. All they had was some Act Blue link. I wrote to them and said I would be glad to contribute, but by check, and never through Act Blue. I also reminded them that any contribution through Act Blue would be docked about 8% net from the original contribution after Act Blue took out its standard 3.95% and the credit card company took out its cut in addition. I asked that in what would certainly be a close, high cost race, if they could afford to give away $80,000 out every million contributed through Act Blue? They responded within a couple of hours, saying they would apply a mailing address immediately to their websites, and then actually did it. Their website now lists a P.O. Box address where contributors can send checks, of which the campaign gets 100%, not 92%. Mine went off in the mail yesterday.

So far, it sounds like they really want to win this, and I am all for it!
