A hearty thanks is owed to all the U.S. Congressional and Senate campaigns that used giv.to to help them stay in touch with their activists, supporters and volunteers (and of course, to  inspire new ones to donate or get involved). We’re happy that we were able to be part of helping campaigns engage a broad audience of people with their messages, and then translate the excitement they generated into political action. Our team and network share a diversity of political values, and one thing we all have in common is an appreciation of civic action in all its forms.

In that spirit, I wanted to congratulate giv.to power users at the Allen West campaign for being especially terrific partners, and in translating all the enthusiasm and fundraising they generated into his insurgent victory as the new Congressman of Florida’s 22nd Congressional district.

Now that the election is over don’t forget to keep the conversation going with all of the political candidates this cycle over Twitter, Facebook and E-mail.
