I am looking for a matching donation
Like many, this election cycle I donated a lot more than I planned, especially since it was important to me to match donations to local food banks and homeless shelters as I was donating to politics.

But, as I've recently reported here, when an Obama campaigner called me and, first, wanted to make sure that I would vote for him (of course, I said, he is the nominee) the caller than asked for a donation and... I relented.

And I regretted it a bit almost immediately, since shortly after I received an email from the Hillary campaign asking for help in retiring her debt. I dug a bit deeper (and did not pay a credit card bill in full) and send some to her.

Thus, I am looking for an Obama supporter who would reciprocate my donation to Obama by donating to Hillary. After all, the Clintons and the Obamas did the same. Does not have to be dollar for dollar (I sent $50) but something would be nice.

Thank you.

P.S. Please don't respond with hateful comments about Hillary (and Bill). If you can help, thank you. If you cannot, just move to a different thread.

3. Oh, I don't know. Most start at a local level
and end up deep in debt. I know of a decent man who had to take a home equity loan to pay his campaign debt.
