I just made my first donation to Barack Obama!
It has been a really tight year, and we've had no extra funds. We've been transferring money out of our line of credit to make ends meet every month. Even though it isn't much, I just donated $20 for his last push. It feels so good!!

I'll be working for the campaign a bit this weekend and on Election Day. I now feel like I will have done everything in my power to get Obama/Biden into the WH. Let's get out there and push it over the top for Obama!!

YES WE CAN!

I have such a hard time talking to people on the phone, but I can do data entry like nobody's business.

Keep up the good work!
