Humbled Once Again

Campaign contributions are few and far between these days. I'm not out beating the bushes for the usual suspects who contribute to every campaign. It's easy to raise a lot of money that way, but there are too many favors asked and owed when you go that route. Every so often I get a check that really brings me down to earth and makes me think about why I started this campaign in the first place. Yesterday I received a fairly large check. Okay, maybe not large to a couple of my opponents but to me it's pretty large! Anyway, this couple has struck out on their own with a small business. They have two children, one a newborn. They are watching every dime, praying they can afford health insurance. And they write me a check... It's supporters like that who will keep me humble and keep me going that extra mile when it comes time to knock on doors.
