I just made another Contribution to Obama's Campaign!

[FrenchieCat]

Monday is the last day of the month, so I figured that I would do it today, just in case. Maybe I'll win the Dinner gig. Ooh boy, wouldn't he get an earful! :)

Won't you Obama supporters join me?

[Big Blue Marble]

1. I did on Thursday.

That dinner with Barack would be wonderful!

[FrenchieCat]

4. Thank you!

Yes......it would be great to win that dinner! :)

[VeraAgnes]

32. You are an inspiration.

I donated too.

[FrenchieCat]

36. Awe......

Thanks! :pals:

[hisownpetard]

2. If I send him any more money, my dogs are gonna have to start chewing the wallpaper...

[FrenchieCat]

5. Understandable!

I'll see how I'm looking on Monday. Maybe I'll donate an amount in your honor. :hi:

[hisownpetard]

11. Sweet! (Every time I read a nasty remark from the HRC camp, I send him another donation - so you

can imagine how broke I am.

But it feels great. Will send more as soon as I get my head above water.
Have been in and out of the hospital this past week, so I need to make sure my insurance is paid up!

[Yael]

3. Donated Friday

[panader0]

7. Yes!

I know I should have before but things have been tight. Just got a tax return.. Got a link?

[FrenchieCat]

12. Yes.....

[panader0]

23. Done ! Only $50.00 but maybe more later.

[FrenchieCat]

37. Thank you!

Only? I think that's great! :thumbsup:

[AllentownJake]

8. I get paid Friday

So it will be in April...but I gave twice in March :-)

Plus I did 8 hours of canvasing today :-)

YES WE CAN!!!!

[FrenchieCat]

13. Wow!

Excellent!

Thank you for all you do! :hi:

[AllentownJake]

15. 8 hours tommorow

I can't speak for the rest of PA...but she isn't taking my congressional district if I can do anything about it :-)

I met the proposed delegates for him and I really want them to go to the convention!

[Catherina]

9. I'm maxed out but I just convinced my sister and boss to give

Can I get credit for them? They both promised to give me the dinner if they win but can I trust them?

[FrenchieCat]

14. Of course you get credit.......

I sent a link to my cheap cousin. I will be making sure her family gave later on today.

[Catherina]

40. You know that little e-mail that pops up after you give?

The one you send to friends and says "I just made a donation to Barack Obama's campaign and I want to invite you to join me"?

How many of these can you send before triggering someone's spam filter? :rofl:

My sister's kind of cheap too. Her excuse is that she wants to wait a while before giving more so that he can use it against McCain. I'm not going to let her get away with that since he's been using his money wisely and doesn't have much debt. I'm still amazed the Black-Eyed Peas wrote that song for him. Maybe that's what I need to attach to the donation letter? Good luck with your cheap cousin. I'm working on my frugal sister too.

[Mme. Defarge]

10. Maybe

we'll meet each other at dinner!

Actually, I was going to donate again anyway after that dreadful attempt to blackmail Pelosi. Enough already.

[FrenchieCat]

18. Yes, that letter to Pelosi was really disgusting......

:(

[Raine]

16. I will!

I'm going to do it! :-)

[graycem]

17. I've already taken your advice..

I find it funny that this man has been able to convince me, the cynic's cynic that maybe we really can make a difference this time. I never donated a dime to a politican until the last election and the Kerry/Edwards campaign. And even when I did that, although I respect Senator Kerry, it was more of an "anybody but Bush" donation. This time is different though. Every penny I give is in belief of his message, and not out of fear or desperation. It is such a good feeling to be involved in a positive way rather than that desperation. I have now donated to the Obama campaign 5 times, and after the strongarming done to Dean and Pelosi the past few days, have donated to the DCCC and the DNC (which I've never done), and will continue to do so until he's the president. And I know if he's managed to have this effect on me, it must be happening to millions of other people who always were cynical or apathetic about politics. The whole thing is just amazing to watch. :)

[FrenchieCat]

20. Welcome, and yes, I agree with you!

It is amazing to watch!

[DerekJ]

19. Grrrr

I can't. I can send money to some U.S. relatives for them to donate to Obama, but I think that would be unethical. No?

:grr:

[FrenchieCat]

38. Not particularily......

You give a gift. And they give a gift.

But don't quote me on that. LOL!

[BklynChick]

21. We did a few days ago. Now we keep arguing about which one of us goes to the dinner (as if we've

already won).

[jenmito]

22. 5th R and donation on the way!

:hi:

[MadBadger]

24. Who the hell cares?

I was a dick to a Clinton Supporter about them donating,so...I'm pretending to be one to you too lol.

[RazBerryBeret]

25. I've made two

since the "dinner" announcement....
they were relatively small (under $100) but every little bit helps, right?

I will be envious of the lucky winners, but how cool is that idea?
Can't wait to see how effective it is...

[quakerboy]

26. A Question

So, for those of us with a VERY rigid budget.

I have donated exactly half of what little money I can afford. I donated a tiny bit to Kucinich, but the majority went to Obama, after he proved his mettle to me in February.

Now I have a dilema. I dont know exactly how it all works, but I know there is some sort of deliniation between general and primary. Strategically, is it better to donate now, or wait to donate what I have set aside to Obama in the General? There is 0 chance that the 2300 limits come into play for me.

[BklynChick]

27. If I were you, I would save that for the general. Obama will need it.

[quakerboy]

28. In my case

it is obviously almost more moral support than the money. But we do what we can, and thats what I have.

[BklynChick]

30. that's fantastic, it all counts and it's all important!

[flpoljunkie]

29. I do hope you win, FrenchieCat.

They obviously read the notes people write, and seem to pick those with compelling stories. And, of course, they always seem to pick at least one former Republican.

I cannot donate, as I am maxed out--but I did it over a year's time, but all before the first primary in Iowa.

GOBAMA!

[FrenchieCat]

39. You're so sweet!

I didn't write anything too compeling this time (tired of writing, LOL!) --Just about how much in insurance premiums we pay per month and how it is about 50% of our mortage note.

[abbyg8r]

31. I set up an automatic monthly withdrawal.

[globalvillage]

34. So did I. Through Act Blue.

I wish they'd stop sending thank you cards though. I got another one today, and I think one is sufficient for recurring donations. I get emails from Sen. Kerry, who I also donate to monthly, and I prefer that to snail mail.

Of course, either can call to thank me if they like.

;-)

[Papillon]

33. Just made my first contribution to Obama's campaign.

I want to win that dinner with him.

[FrenchieCat]

42. Very Cool! And I hope you do. Although I hope I do too!

:)

[RBInMaine]

35. Just sent in another contribution today too.

[PresidentObama]

41. Gladly. I'll donate 20 dollars tomorrow. First contribution to Obama, I've made.

GOBAMA!

[FrenchieCat]

43. Very kewl!

I'm sooo glad to have you on our side, as you know! :pals:

GOBAMA!

[Voltaire99]

44. Nope. I don't give money to politicians.

It's almost never money well spent, and almost always foolishly and treacherously misused. 'Tis the nature of the beast in a corrupt system.

If you think the drop you've made in Obama's chests is going to buy anything approaching the influence Wall Street has bought with him, you're dreaming.

Which may be a pleasant return on your money, I grant you; if so, go crazy.

[Adelante]

45. I will tomorrow

If I win, I will give you my dinner ticket, since I wouldn't be able to go :hug:

[slinkerwink]

46. I'll donate on Monday when I get paid!

[NC_Nurse]

47. I spent all day today and all day yesterday working in the filed office.

That's my donation this month. ;-)

[AllentownJake]

48. Go NC!

We are depending on you for the KO blow!
