Obama Email
Hillary Clinton announced her support for our campaign today.

Senator Clinton made history over the past 16 months -- not just because she has broken barriers, but because she has inspired millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to causes like universal health care that make a difference in the lives of hardworking Americans.

Our party and our country are stronger because of the work she has done throughout her life, and I'm a better candidate for having had the privilege of competing with her.

Senator Clinton will be invaluable to our efforts to win in November, and I look forward to campaigning alongside her to bring this country the change it so desperately needs.

Hillary and her supporters are joining us at an urgent moment.

It's going to require a new level of commitment from every single one of us to build a national campaign in the general election.

And we're going win this election the right way -- by growing our grassroots network of ordinary people giving only what they can afford.

Will you help by making your first donation today?

If you give right now, a previous donor has agreed to match your gift, doubling its impact. Help us reach our goal of 20,000 new donors by making a matching donation today:

https://donate.barackobama.com/match

It's time for all of us to come together to take on John McCain in the general election. John McCain offers another four years of George Bush's policies, which our country simply cannot afford.

To win, we must continue building an unprecedented organization in all 50 states. And that will only happen if we all work together, side-by-side.

Thank you for joining this movement and supporting a new kind of politics.

Together we can do more than just win an election. Together we can change this country, and we can change the world.

And we are honored to have Hillary Clinton at our side as we do it.

Barack

4. Why is his campaign still designating donations to the primary?

The text at the bottom of the site says that the first $2300 go to the primary, the next $2300 goes to the general election.

Just wondering if anybody knows.

5. DH & I matched last night - pretty cool, got an email from the person
we were matched with. I think the bottom is a FEC legal disclaimer - which I had the problem of donating over $2,300 for the primaries so the overage would go to the general.

6. I sold stock and will be donating $2300
I'm going whole-hog as they say. This is the first donation I've ever made to a politician's campaign.

I sent a little money to the DNC when Dean was getting dumped on last year.

So, I just want to make sure the whole $2300 goes to help against McCain.

The money for the donation came from the profits I got on stock in an oil company. 50% return in one year, not bad.

7. Primary Money can be used until the Nomination is official.
Up to $2300 per donor. After then the $2300 limit on general election donations again becomes available to donors. This means that donations given now can be used now, not later, and the max given can be $2300 now plus $2300 more after the convention.
