I just donated a measly $10 to help President Obama and Democratic Party
Edited on Thu Oct-28-10 10:24 AM by Mortos
My contribution was matched by an anonymous donor doubling it to $20. It's 1/10 of what I donated in 2008 but it's something. You can donate as little as $3 and it will be doubled. I don't have a lot of extra money floating around. I am a single father with a house payment and bills but because I am a proud Democrat, I am willing to sacrifice and eat my delicious home cooking instead of crappy take out for a while to give the Dems a fighting chance. Please join me and give whatever you can. What is it worth to see the mainstream media, who have been predicting a tidal wave of republican wins, choke on a minimal gain or better yet a massive loss for their darling tea party candidates?

Donate or call or volunteer. We can't afford to lose.

3. You are right we can't afford to lose, but it definitely does NOT look good for the house

After we lost the Senate race in Mass, that is when we should have had the wake-up call

1 week before the election, money isn't going to do much at this stage

If people don't realize by now what is at stake, it is a lost cause

I do appreciate your motivation though

6. I got a call last week that they would QUADRUPLE
my donation! So I gave $20! I had to have the guy repeat himself...first I'd heard of quadrupling!

They said the multipliers would come from other congresspersons who didn't need to use their own war chests!

Interesting...

7. $10 is not "measly"
Every contribution helps and is valued.

8. It's no $75 million the Chamber of Commerce gave republicans
but it's an honest contribution from a working American citizen.
