Grassroots fundraising

[1] It has been utilized by American presidential candidates like Howard Dean, Barack Obama, Ron Paul, and Bernie Sanders.

[7] This is attributed to the fact that the CPC was created in 2003 by the merger of the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.

[11] In an interview, Dean described a $2,000-per-plate fundraising lunch organized by Vice President Dick Cheney for George W. Bush's re-election.

It earned the campaign $4.2 million in one day, breaking the online fundraising record as well as raising more than any other Republican candidate in the election.
