So, when can we start donating to Obama's re-election campaign?
What are the rules on this? I'm pretty sure I can max out over 4 years and I'm also pretty sure we could raise a billion dollars over that time. It's never to early to get a head start on these bastards.

2. Actually, if you donate through ME...
...you can give far more than $2,300 a year. It's true, I swear: would an anonymous stranger on the Internet lie?

4. tell you what.....
I did some phone banking for the campaign, but I will find a lot more time in 2012 to work phones and canvass. I truly believe we will not see another Republican President in my lifetime...but it will take work, and lots of it.

8. I heard they invented some kind of thing where you can store your money...
for future purchases and stuff... savings something... you should ask your bank about one.

11. So, you don't know when.
That's all you had to say. No need to be a dick about it.

14. I wasn't trying to be a dick. I was trying to point out in a humorous way...
that you can just save up the money to donate in the future. I am sure we will find out as soon as he starts raising money but for now he isn't even in office yet.

Sorry if it came off offensive. I should have used an emoticon.

10. LOL. I saw a funny ad asking if Obama bought the election
Your post reminded me of that, but it is sad that we're at the point where we have to pay to ensure a halfway fair election.

12. Our focus should be 2010 and find progressives to run in support of HR 676.

13. I agree but I still want to know when the re-election fund raising begins.
Does anyone know this? Next year? The year after? Surely the Republicans are going to Iowa soon to start it all over within a fortnight.
