If you donate to Senator Obama, please do so through the DU fundraising page
Edited on Fri Jun-06-08 07:54 AM by Skinner
http://my.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/main/du

In 2004, Democratic Underground raised $40,000 for John Kerry in one month. This year, we have five months to fund-raise, so I think we can probably raise a lot more than that. For now, our goal is $50,000.

After our one-week transition period ends on June 11, we'll probably do a very active fundraising campaign for Obama's campaign. But until then, just in case anyone wants to donate, here is the link:

http://my.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/main/du

Click the "Contribute Now" link.

David Allen
DU Administrator

ON EDIT: I am going to let this post float for a while so more people will see it. Later I will pin it to the top of this forum so everyone knows where to find it.

1. Can you also do a similar process for the DNC, They're going to need it too.

I'd like to donate to both this weekend.

Thanks!

7. I hadn't really thought of that.
I'm not sure. If we do fund-raise for them, I think we might hold off a bit.

37. The DNC and Obama are jointly fundraising now. The DNC
had been hurt by big fundraisers for Hillary cutting off funds. They could use some money.

12. Are you going to change the donation links on the home page?
The multi-candidate ActBlue links are still on the home page, are we going to replace those with this new donation link?

16. Perhaps when the "But Hillary won the popular vote" crapola posts go away.
Until then, I will continue to donate directly.

25. So does that mean from now until November it will be "ok" to make
oblique arguments that Obama is somehow not the legitimate nominee?

18. My family and I
donate regularly to the Obama campaign. I have never had a credit card, and being retire, do not have a "pay pal" option. I send checks. Is there a way to include our donations in the DU total?

Thanks,
H2O Man

23. As far as I can tell, there is no way to include checks in the DU total.
I looked around and I don't see that option. But thanks for thinking of us.

43. Maybe this is a dumb question but
would DU be considered a PAC and, if so, would this then be a violation of the new DNC rules?

46. HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN DEBT
So did Hillary throw her support behind Obama in exchange for him paying off her $30 million campaign debt?

48. No
but it is likely that Obama will encourage many of his wealthier supporters that have already given the maximum to him to help Hillary out.
