I donated $100 dollars to the Obama campaign today.

I donated $75 dollars last week.


How many here have donated? If you have please post. We are in the final stretches of the campaign. We need all of the help we can get.



Ranting on a message board will only take us so far. Please donate whatever you can no matter how great or how small.

Thank you.



For those who have donated, I am also interested in what state you are from. I think we have a broader coalition on this board than the common red/blue divide would lead us to believe.

I'll go first. I'm from Indiana and I donated.

Wish I could donate to a LOT of people like Alan Grayson and get his voice back in congress. We need to donate to Elizabeth Warren and get rid of Brown, Tammy Duckworth NEEDS to defeat Joe Walsh. Don't forget Patrick Murry (Against Allen West). Jim Graves could use some money to help defeat Michele Backmann. Wouldn't hat be nice? There are lots of others who need our help. I hope those that can afford it will make donations to help us gain a majority in congress so our president can actually get something done and get rid of every Teabilly.

Please post other people all over the country that also need our donations.

Edited to add Wayne Powell needs donations to defeat Eric Cantor.

I can't give much, but I'd like to think of this as a David and Goliath effort. Us against Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers.
