Can you spare $5 for John Kerry and John Edwards?


TODAY IS $5 DAY!

We get over 20,000 visitors to this website every day. If everyone gave $5, we could easily raise $100,000 for the Kerry/Edwards ticket.

Maybe you haven't donated to Kerry/Edwards yet because you don't think you can afford it. Maybe you can't afford $50, but can you spare $5?

Maybe you already donated to Kerry/Edwards, and you weren't planning to donate again. But think about it: You can spare another $5, can't you?

For a campaign that's raising millions of dollars, one $5 donation won't make much difference. But if we all give $5, we can raise thousands and thousands of dollars. By donating together, we can leverage our numbers and have a real impact!

And while you're donating, you can sign up for the Kerry/Edwards email list, and you can sign up to volunteer. Everyone can help out in some way.

MAKE YOUR DONATION COUNT!

I have set up a personal John Kerry supporter page, under my real name "David Allen." If you donate to Kerry's campaign through my page, we can easily keep track of the donation total from DU members! Just click this link to visit my page and send your donation:

My supporter page: http://volunteer.johnkerry.com/member/178307

Look for the link on the right-hand side of the page that says "Make Your Contribution Now."

It's only $5. You can do it.

Thank you.

David Allen

2. Oh heck, why not? You should release Grovelbot on the board.
:) Going to make a donation now. Thanks!

7. That's not a bad idea, actually.
I worry that people might have GrovelBot blindness. But it's worth considering.

5. I actually donated last week...
Edited on Tue Jul-13-04 09:17 AM by southpaw
But I think I can spare another $5

You really should activate Grovel Bot. Its a worthy enough cause and what with all the Robot-mania (courtesy of I Robot) he should be allowed to get out and flaunt his circuitry!

13. Nope... wish they did... Kerry's campaign would be swimming in cash
if that were allowed. Makes sense actually... don't want you ferners controlling our elections (well, actually, in this case, I do). :)

Seriously, I got an e-mail from them acknowledging my contribution. I just sent 'em another 25 bucks.

32. I tried to donate, but...
...they said there was a problem with my credit card. Repeatedly. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH MY CREDIT CARD. I've got virtually unlimited credit and have ZERO debt. So I guess I'll just toss a tenner to the next Kerry kid I see on the street.

Oh well. Would have loved to have been part of your DU club, David.

Just cuz you had a little trouble with their website doesn't mean you can't be part of the club. :thumbsup:
