We started the year committed to having a conversation with Pennsylvanians across the commonwealth. We've talked with people from all walks of life: teachers, firefighters, moms, dads, senior citizens, small business owners, and CEOs of major corporations to name a few. They all agreed on one thing - Pennsylvania is ready for a change.<BR/><BR/>Throughout 2005, Pennsylvanians from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and everywhere in between have made a commitment to me.<BR/><BR/>We've signed up over 5,000 volunteers.<BR/><BR/>We've identified over 14,000 supporters and entered them into our database.<BR/><BR/>We've had over 20,000 visitors to our campaign website.<BR/><BR/>We've had over 800 viewings of our website per day.<BR/><BR/>We've had over 12,000 viewings of our web videos.<BR/><BR/>We've had more than 5,000 Pennsylvanians sign up for our email updates.<BR/><BR/>We've seen 4,700 Pennsylvanians contribute to our campaign, and well over 400 individuals send money from outside our state's borders, giving us an incredible 5100 donors.<BR/><BR/>By December 31st, 2005, we raised close to $1.6 million! We ended the year with over $1 million in the bank, including raising close to $600,000 in December alone.<BR/><BR/>Pennsylvania's commitment, your commitment, has been amazing.<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow, I'll be announcing my campaign to change Pennsylvania in my hometown of Pittsburgh. We'll be visiting Erie, Altoona, and Scranton on Thursday, and finishing up in Philadelphia, Allentown, and Lancaster on Friday.<BR/><BR/>These stops are just the beginning of my commitment to you; a commitment for a better Pennsylvania.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all you've done for the campaign so far. With your continued commitment, we'll succeed in changing Pennsylvania.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely, ....</I>Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.com
