Although we wish it weren't so, and if we elect John Bonifaz he'll fight to change it, campaigns are still privately financed. Activists, the press, and even the blogs, look at a candidate's filings at the end of each quarter to determine how "credible" a campaign is - more than at a candidate's qualifications, or number of committed supporters.

In other words, the wealth primary is on. We know John Bonifaz is the best qualified person to lead in Massachusetts, to make voting more accessible and government more accessible and accountable, but if we want him to get the press coverage he deserves, he needs to raise money.

The filing deadline is tomorrow, Friday, June 30th. Help John Bonifaz by contributing today! ... and ask your friends to contribute as well. Thank you!
