Money talks. Donate till it hurts.
No one is more qualified to fight the lies spewing from the Republican party than Senators Obama and Biden.

The more we give, the more effectively they get can promote their message of change.

I'm up to my eyeballs in credit card debt with little hope of paying it off soon.

So the donation I made today hurts.

The hell with it.

$50, $25, even $10.00 -- I'm sure any amount is welcome.

The link is at the top of this page. It's easy.

Money talks.

Make these bullshitters walk.

1. Never donate "til it hurts." Donate "til it feels GREAT!"

3. Where can we get the most bang for our buck?
Normally I would just donate to Obama, but at this point I'd like to see the 527s get enough money to really go negative. Obama can only go so far with that, without stepping on his message.

Thoughts?

4. If you're going to donate under $2,300...
...then you should probably just give it to the Obama campaign.

If you can donate $28,500, then giving it to the Democratic Party would help Obama.

If you can give even more, then state parties in swing states like Ohio, and PACs like MoveOn can be added.

5. sorry to hear about your
credit card debt.

I don't even have credit anymore--still owe the debt but all my cards were closed by the issuers because I couldn't keep up with the payments after I lost my job.

Thanks for your sacrifice it will be worth it when we win.

I appreciate it. Looking for work is taking a back seat to the election but I do have a phone interview for a really good job scheduled for next week.

Things could be looking up for me!

10. I just donated to Obama and have a message for Palin
As an Alaskan I want to say thank you to Sarah Palin for the energy rebate money (Troopergate hush money?) and to big oil/neo cons for continuing to share their war profits and fleecing off the rest of the country with me and my family!

I was quite pleased last night at midnight to find that over $9600 was directly deposited in my bank account last night! Thanks again Sarah for the money because we are a middle class family and have been hurt by the economy. I love it when money is redistributed to everyone from the top down, which is why I am a democrat.

By the way Sarah, my first purchase today was donating far more to the Obama campaign than I normally would be able to afford. I am sure that Obama will spend it wisely and do some shopping with it to stimulate the economy!

12. The energy rebate was $1,200 per person and our PFD's this year are $2,069
It comes out to each person getting $3,269. This is the most I've ever seen.

14. If you can't donate money, donate time
Volunteer at your local dem headquarters. I'm doing this and it's great being around so many committed, energetic dems.

Volunteer with these people
What You Can Do to Defend Election '08

Obama has a way to do phone banking from home on his website

Donate money too if you can - any at all will help, but time helps a HUGE amount.
