I am starting the Family Challenge today. I have been thinking about a new way to think about fundraising. I have already asked the obvious people. I have even asked some of the not so obvious (my Democrat, Catholic Grandmother-in-Law actually donated). But how do I get more donors.

For voters who want a leader who has strong values in their personal life, Mitt Romney is the only choice amongst the viable Republican contenders. Does anyone really have a serious doubt about this? There may be a variety of reasons why someone won't vote for Romney, but they aren't because there is a more pro-family candidate out there.

Romney has a wonderful family who is standing behind his Presidential run with all of their energy. I want my family to be as united as his in support for his candidacy. So, the answer I came up with is the Family Challenge.

The Family Challenge is this, I am setting a goal to encourage 100% participation from every single member of my extended family to contribute to Mitt Romney's campaign. I hope that everyone considers donating a substantial amount of money, but in the end, my goal is 100% participation, regardless of the amount. The deadline is the end of the third quarter.

Now is the time to act. The press has been hounding our candidate because he is spending money to increase his name recognition. Well, I don't expect him to hold back. Keep on campaigning, my friend. We need to work harder than ever to make sure you have the funds needed to get your message out.

So, today, I announce the first Family for Romney. The Cross Family. If you want to sign your family up, do so in the comments. I encourage you to do so.
