What are you waiting for? We've got a nominee... Now donate!

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

Every little bit helps. Even if you can only spare $5, your donation can make a difference. The Obama Campaign is funded almost entirely by small donors like us -- all those small donations add up to big money!

Remember to click this link before you donate, so we can keep track of our total:

And while you're there, sign up to volunteer on the campaign!

2. Unfortunately, no.
But you are encouraged to donate to the DNC directly.

6. Skinner, tell me why - and others, too
we should donate through DU rather than straight thru our own links to BO.

Does it help this forum?

I give to the campaign, and have. But have done so directly.

Help me see why I should do it thru DU, please.

14. You’re still giving directly to the Obama campaign. You donations through the link Skinner gave is
processed by the Obama camp not DU. It's a DU page on Obama's website. Skinner and other Admins don't even see who donated, or how much each individual donated, just the totals.

It only shows to the O camp that DU managed to raise 50K for them. That is it shows the DU community support.

7. Skinner - Just donated, happy to help. But I'd like to point out that, if it seems that donations
are a bit slow, it's probably because many people (like myself) have already donated beyond their means
to Obama, multiple times, and are just tapped out about now.

I cannot wait for President Obama to be inaugurated and start to make things right!

Thanks for doing this.

11. I'll chip in a bit more, but it would have been nice to have this earlier. I've already given
more than I can realistically afford to.

13. Skinner, when did this start?
This is the first I've heard of it.

I'll hit it on Friday, even if it's a bit early for my next donation.

19. Some of us can't anymore.
All the discretionary income that I once had to get a manicure, wash my war, and donate is going into my gas tank, my prescription drugs, my groceries and medicine for my ailing cat. There's nothing left. Sorry. I'm sure many DUers like myself who are on fixed incomes are finding themselves in the same boat.

$25. It may not be much, but I am going to try to duplicate this every month until we have a DEMOCRATIC president. Come on folks, even if it's only a one time $5 donation, I know times are tough, but every penny will help!

30. I don't get it. Obama raised millions, more than any candidate
in the past. Why does he need more money? He certainly has more than McCain, no?

As the economic conditions are getting worse, as none of us is certain of his/her job, I'd rather donate any spare money that I have to the local homeless shelter or food bank or.. even DU.

During the primaries I donated to three non-Obama candidates, a lot more than what I've budgeted.

Sorry, will have to pass.

That's life.
