#3They have a long way to go. I'm not sure they're going to make $5m. They only have $1.1m raised now, and only 2 weeks left.

#4Does anyone know what the significance of the $5 million goal is? Did they look at the political landscape and decide that was how much money they needed to make an impact or is that just the amount they thought they could raise?

#5I went through to donate and I have to be an American citizen to donate.. when big multi-nationals are pushing America (and by extension the planet) around then why should individuals from multiple-different-nations not be able to respond?

If you click the mayday button you get this page:
and this setence: "For 2014, our goal is $12 million. With that money, we will make fundamental reform the key issue in five congressional races. And win."
Also they raised 1 Mio before and everything gets doubled by individual donnors.

Well, the system they're batteling against is known as one dollar, one vote, not one Yen, Peso or Roebel. :-)

#9"Then we got the $1 Million matched by a group of donors who, unlike most political donors, would like to level the playing field, even if it means seeing their influence decreased."
... and with that I lose my trust in this PAC. Human nature has a pull towards being self-serving and this nature is amplified when large sums of wealth are on the line.

Yes, it's running a bit behind that curve.
On the plus side, there is at least another 7 million out there that people want to go to this cause, as we can see by the matching amounts.
For the moment there is a 'all or nothing' effect, but that's for psychological reasons, and it may be working against them at this point. The people willing to put 7 million toward the cause probably still care, and will find other ways to donate it.
Please donate, and consider checking "I want my donation to be used to support MAYDAY.US, even if the goal has not been met by July 4th." This is one of those causes that seems fundamentally worth while to me, and your donation will mean even more if they come up short, because it will give them funds to keep fighting.
You should donate now. https://pledge.mayday.us/pledge
