"Ready for Hillary" which is a group of supporters who want Hillary Clinton to run for the 2016 presidential elections, yesterday announced that more than 10,000 supporters have owned a piece of an historic grassroots effort to encourage her to run for president.
"The Ready for Hillary movement began with a P.O. Box and two volunteers, and today it is more than a half million strong," said Ellen Tauscher, former Under Secretary of State.
In its biannual Federal Election Commission report "Ready for Hillary" yesterday, showed USD 1.25 million in contributions, USD 1 million of which was raised in June alone.
Contributions ranged from USD 1.00 to USD 25,000.00.
Ready for Hillary's policy is to cap contributions at USD25,000.00.
The group sent its first fund raising solicitation on May 16 and launched its National Finance Council on May 29.
"New financial supporters including more than 500 in the past 24 hours are now constantly joining us at readyforhillary.Com," noted "Ready for Hillary" executive director Adam Parkhomenko.
