As of this morning I still fully expected MaydayPAC to fail. I've watched the slow crawl this whole last month, and it looked like things were getting brighter, but not bright enough. Boy was I wrong! We literally raised as much TODAY as we had in over half the prior month.

All I gotta say is that I'm happy ...and we will be crossing that impossible $5mil goal any moment!

That's usually how those things go -- same for auctions and whatnot: the last 24-48 hours are the most active ...

Having said that, it being Independence Day, I did think it was 50/50 that he goal would be met. But it did! Grats to them -- now we'll see how goes the experiment =)

Maybe I missed the memo, but I only got a couple days to absorb it.
Not enough time to contribute, or spread the word.

Indeed they did! You can still pledge tho wink

Right now the total also includes the original $1mil that was raised in May and the $1mil matched by big tech funders. Once Lessig gets our $5 mil matched from this round it'll be over $12mil.
