More than 50,000 people have donated to Obama since his Opt Out decision yesterday

[TeamJordan23]

They were trying to reach 50,000 people by July 4th. Now that has been pushed up to 75,000 donors by July 4th.

Some snippets from his fundraising email:

Since we announced our decision not to accept taxpayer funds for the general election, tens of thousands of people like you have come forward to declare their independence from a broken system.

This decision frees us to build a movement of millions of people giving whatever they can afford to a campaign that is truly reforming the way our political process works.

It also frees us to take our campaign for change to parts of the country where Democratic presidential candidates haven't spent too much time in the past.

Our first television ad of the general election season goes on the air today.

Sure, we're on the air in places like Ohio and Florida, the typical battleground states. But we're also on the air in North Dakota, Montana, and Alaska -- places that have emerged as competitive because of the unprecedented grassroots energy supporting our campaign.

These ads are supporting a 50-state ground operation that is being built right now by staff, volunteers, and thousands of Obama Organizing Fellows.

More than 50,000 people declared their independence since our announcement. Support our campaign for change and declare your independence today to help reach our new July 4th goal of 75,000 donors.

2. Me, too. I'm doing my part to keep the average donation low.

I budget a whopping $25/month.

3. Every dollar counts. Even $10 or $25 increments. Believe me.

I'm right there with ya.

4. I plan on donating $25 a month through November.

Just imagine if we get 2- 3 million people to do that. :)
