*** John Edwards January 18, 2008 Donation Check-In ***
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 01:22 AM by Yael
Its that time, people!

https://www.johnedwards.com/action/contribute/form

EDIT TO ADD -- purchases from the Edwards store http://store.johnedwards.com/ (T-shirts, car stickers, yard signs) are all counted for the match per asdjrocky as they are considered donations, so buy up!!

Donations through the ActBlue DU links do NOT count to the match. You are matched up to $250, so please donate through the main site linked above and in the image.

Thank you for your support!

100. I donated $25, all I can afford right now
but I did send $50 earlier (unfortunately through ActBlue before I knew they couldn't match donations). I hope this is a very successful effort. :)

75. How are things looking for Feb 5th?
I doubt many candidates are campaigning there, or even sending surrogates. Seems like a One Corps/grassroots effort could win the electoral votes.

102. Not too much presence up here.
Hillary and Obama have local campaign offices -- it seems like Obama's was rolled out with a little more flair. I have no idea how the other Democrats in the state are leaning. I guess we'll find out on 2/5. I plan to stick to my guns. I'm really looking forward to the process. I haven't participated in a caucus before because we were always so late that it didn't make any difference.

325. Another Alaskan here
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 09:56 PM by PublicCommentAK
I'm another Alaskan and I gave some money today, and some last week. And I just ordered some signs and about 100 stickers and stuff to bring to the Caucus.

7. I donated a few minutes ago... AND YOU CAN TOO!!!!
It is really important to keep the $$$$ flowing to John Edwards with the Super Tuesday advertising that must be purchased in advance.

Let's keep this ball rolling.....

253. Your limit per election is $2,300 but only the first $250 is matched
The general is considered a seperate election form the primary, and I would be VERY surprised if that will be publically financed.

12. Recommended and gave $135.00
If 70,000 give at least $100 we can make the $7 million goal but any amount is great. I already gave $250 and $100 earlier so I am not sure this $135 will be matched.

28. Yes, it does! Good job! K&R
Donated myself just minutes ago. Spent several hours putting comments on abcnews.com, cbsnews.com, and bunches of youtube political videos telling people why they should go donate TODAY!



Send this link to people who like videos to encourage them to donate, or as a reminder -

29. going to bed
I spent hours putting posts on newspaper sites, youtube, and the major news networks blogs and stories. Could someone call a few of the major unions and ask to speak to their political head and ask them to put out an email letting people know that John's candidacy is having a fund raiser today? Hey you never know, your actions, like the ones I took on the computer tonight, could result in thousands being raised in John's name! Whatever you can do, emails, calls, comments on videos, etc, God bless ya all for doing it!

If there's people doing calls today for John's candidacy, and they get receptive listeners, I hope they know today is a big fund raising day, and tell people about it. I have spent so much time on the videos on my youtube, working, and then putting comments all over the internet, that I didn't think to find someone that makes calls to ask them that question.

Anyhow - THANKS EDWARDS SUPPORTERS - We're doing all we can to help John get OUR message out through his campaign! We should be proud of our effort!

please PM me and I'll send you $10 for some essentials. I too have donated more than I 'should', financially speaking, but this cause (progressive in the white house) is something I'll NEVER stop fighting for, in John's name now, and whoever in our future.

GO JOHN!

He won't?

Well, then why should I donate?

He has made his choice - between the Democratic Party and the Democrats in Florida - and chose the Party. So screw him . . .

104. What has the Democratic Party done for you?
Personally? Nothing? Then why choose them over someone who WILL do something for you?

Or are you just not voting at all? Because Obama and Hillary aren't campaigning in Florida either.

Please go and check out my video and spread it far and wide if you want. I worked over 24 hours on it and would appreciate some more support. I don't have any money to donate and this is my contribution. We're living on credit cards right now.

I know some of you have already viewed it, but maybe some here haven't seen it yet. Anyhoo, link below.....

saying he is behind in this horse race, but he might just get some much needed exposure from this fundraiser. Once the people see what he can do-watch out!

83. IS ANYONE COUNTING the number of CONTRIBUTORS here at DU TODAY?
Anyone with the spare time on their hands to count the contributors at DU would be helpful.

At the end of the day, we need to send the count to the Edwards' Campaign so they know how many contributors are coming from DU (since we can no longer contribute through ACT BLUE and have the contribution matched).

115. $41 at store, $50 on contribution page. Would help to know if store purchases are also "matched".
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 02:04 PM by calipendence
It's pretty clear that they are matched on the contribution page, but not so clear on the store page, which also lets you make a cash donation through there. Could have saved myself some time if I knew that donations added to purchases there were also matched. Anyone know?

137. Ye know what I think?
If we manage to get him a great great deal of $$
he should take out full page ads in all the major
newspapers stating:
"The MSM has decided who gets the attention...they have decided
that my message shouldn't be heard...
but enough people want to hear me and donated on 1/18/08...
The people want to hear my words..."

or something like that
sure would be nice if it was 10 mil...

146. Don't donate thru DU or ActBlue. He gets no matching funds that way.
You must donate thru johnedwards.com and only the first $250 is matched. So if all of your donations ever made total over $250 try to put the donation in someone elses name ie spouse, child,etc. so the funds are matched! Good luck everyone and let's keep this ball rolling!!!!!!!!!

168. got my mom to donate!!
i called her and said, "mom, donate to edwards' campaign today 'cause we're trying to get him noticed by raising $7 mil in one day."

she said, "NO! i'm not donating to anyone's campaign."

gasp!!

"mom, PLEASE donate. if not for you, for me and MY future."

"how do you know he even gets it?"

"it's federal matching funds - he gets it and the government matches it."

"hmmm... well... ok."

I have no life, so it gave me something to do. So far, my count is 175 donations and over $5,500 in announced donation amounts. I didn't separate store purchases from regular donations.

Done.
Still not sure who I'm voting for, but I don't like the way he's being marginalized.
I also called my aunt and uncle - Edwards supporters, but not good with the computers - and helped them make their donation!

256. My very unoffical count of DU donations to the JRE campaign.....
I've been following the various threads about the Edwards fundraising drive all day and so far, I've counted 224 donations made by DUers. 93 DUers have stated how much they donated and/or spent in the campaign store and that total equals $7,784.92.

265. If you extrapolate
estimating that all givers gave the average of the stated gives, the total is $18,750.

I didn't realize that contributions through the ActBlue site don't count towards matching funds. What a bummer! I'd already given $50 there. When you only make $15/hour, that's a lot of money.

I hope that once the campaign has a full count (after midnight on the west coast) that they will frame it and drop a cluster bomb of a press release -- that is if MSNBC can't ferret out a hint beforehand.

284. Done!
Kicked, rec'd and donated! Here's the reply for the donation!

Dear friend,

Thank you so much for your support.

I never accept any money from lobbyists or PACs, so our victory depends on people like you pitching in. And that's the way it should be.

Your contribution will enable us to reach out to voters in living rooms, town halls, and on the airwaves. You're helping us build support for transformational change in early primary states and across the country.

Everywhere I travel, Americans are ready to join you and me in the great work ahead. To bring our message of real change to voters, we need offices in cities, organizers on the ground, and outreach materials to send in the mail.

Yes, the work of a national campaign comes at a cost, but truly changing America offers a far greater reward.

Thank you again for making all of this possible.

Sincerely,
John Edwards

307. This isn't specific to DU
It is all over the web. Google up "John Edwards $7 million dollars" -- the linkage will blow your mind!

The idea was dreamed up by Mark over at NewsCorpse.com on Sunday and after he posted it at DailyKos.com, it took off.

We are just one very small cog in a very large wheel.

344. just googled over 60,000
the first 100 are pretty consistent with this project. While reading this remembered Elizabeth taking on matthews after the Iowa caucus saying they were having one of their best days. this just makes me want to cry knowing that if the DU is doing this well what is the real total across the country. If I can pull up my post with the asia video I think I will e-mail it to Mr Edwards

330. Contributions on John's site get matched by feds, no matching $ contribs from Act Blue-
and the whole point of Edwards doing it this way is to double his funds and show
running can be done honestly.

Wish DU would put up something notifying that the courts have ruled against matching funds from DU's Act Blu.

334. It's a good day
to contribute to the campaign of the man who should be the next president of the United States!
I sent a couple of hundred this morning. I wish it could have been more.

339. Just made my first $50 contribution.....more to come later in the campaign.
This is the man for change in this country. If he gets elected and lets me down, I'll never believe in another politician again. I have put all my faith in his words, and I pray he is planning to follow through with what he is promising.

The man is inspiring, and I hope he is also ready to put his actions into words, because I believe he is going to get the nomination.

345. GO JOHNNY, GO!!!
Long time lurker, but not much of a talker here. I was a delegate in 04 for Kerry and saw great stuff in Boston by Edwards. I gave $100 to help keep his dream alive and support the dreams of so many at DU! I really love the intensity right now; soon it will sort itself out. Then we will need the heartfelt efforts of all of us to take back our country from the people who believe democracy is an institution to further the desires of those who have inordinate levels of wealth and arrogance.

352. That is up to the campaign -- on wording and timing
They are the only ones with access to the figures and as this was grassroots, they are not a party to the promotion.

371. That is up to the campaign -- on wording and timing
My concern is that if we didn't beat Ron Paul's KKK-backed record, they may be reluctant to announce. It may also have ties to strategy on when and where this information would be of the most use. (Weekends aren't the best for news dumps)

Keep the faith :bounce:

376. I don't know what k/r n/t means, but just spent $26.25 @ JE store
plus shipping. Donated last week but wanted to participate today.

I live across street from a popular park. Will put the yardsign up on the balcony, makes good viewing.

Irritates me that the media has so pointed ignored Edwards. Why not let the VOTERS decide, rather than the media selecting only two candidates? Just like the MEDIA decided we needed to find WMDs in Iraq and relentlessly banged Bush's war drums. Just how correct were they then?

377. Thanks Biscottiii. K&R means to bump the thread and click to recommend
it so that it is on the greatest page. Several have used the "recommend" count to match dollar for dollar for donations.

n/t means that there is nothing in the body of the post, just the title.

Thanks for your support and welcome to DU from another high-rise dweller. :hi:

Prez-to-be Edwards could announce the total in his Nevada acceptance speech. Won't that be awesome. :)

It's still Friday in my time zone.

I got a yard sign for Super Tuesday, I hope it stands up in snow, as the ground is frozen and it won't go in to soil, I'm sure.

She was so happy that I was an Edwards fan (guess she'd been at it for a while) and when I said yes, I think she almost cried.
