She wondered if I didn&#8217;t already have a checking account. I told her I have a continuing account for my congressional campaign. BTW I will accept contributions to that account. If I raise $50,000 in the next ten months for it I&#8217;ll certainly challenge the traitor who is currently representing us but I haven&#8217;t decided which party I will align with to do this. Those donations can be made here:<\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\" method=\"post\" target=\"_top\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"RXG2R2TNZMBSE\" \/><br \/>\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_donateCC_LG.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" title=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" alt=\"Donate with PayPal button\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<\/form>\n<p>It has occured to me that mailing my message to 10,000 likely voters will require more money than I want to pull out of my own accounts. Certainly Claudia is already smarting at the $10,000 or more I spent on last year&#8217;s Quixotesque campaign. Maybe I&#8217;ll set up a Welty for School Board account later. I do need to prepare voters for this possibility in May of 2025. Of course, my big lawnsign might just do that by itself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Post Next post Welty Duluth SB campaign in 500 words: My amended lawnsigns from 2024: Claudia jumped to see a $575 payment for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[165],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36641"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36641"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36641\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36652,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36641\/revisions\/36652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
