Today's postings remind me of what's at stake, so I just made another donation to the Obama campaign

[Faygo Kid]

(Originally, I cited CatnHat's posting, but there are many more today from Hillary supporters, so I edit so as to not leave their inspiration out.) I needed that jolting reminder about how I personally need to fight back in support of Barack Obama.

Anybody with me?

[lligrd]

1. I'm In

I can't wait for Obama to win and the CatnHat to leave before the grown ups come home.

[maddiejoan]

2. I donated

To a shelter for abused women.

They actually needed the money.

[Faygo Kid]

4. Good for you. I donate to such shelters, too.

And many other worthy causes. As a result, I have more than a billion (or so it seems) address labels from just about every organization across the country.

Since I watched Mom being beaten when I was a small child (long ago), shelters for abused women get special consideration. I'm also a big-time sucker for abused animals and historic preservation.

Congratulations on your donations. I am sure you donate to your candidate, as well, and that's a good thing. I'm just trying to inspire some donations for mine.

28. any Democrat who expects to win is going to need resources to win also

:hi:

[Kittycat]

3. I put my Sharing of the Green donation in last night.

Make sure to ad .17 to your donation for this weekend of support to O'Bama.

[sorrybushisfromtexas]

5. I will on the 25th when I get paid

I am giving $100.00 each month on the 25th.

I just wish the the Hillary campaign could do math.

It is so simple 1=1=2 It just doesn't add up.

I wish the Superdelegates would go ahead and pledge.

Barak wins, Game over, let's start on the GE.

[arundhatiroyfan]

6. I'm with you, too.

Can't wait to see Obama beating McCain in the GE. I'm convinced that he is the right choice

[C_U_L8R]

7. Just contributed twenty-five bucks... BAM!!

Take THAT Hillary!! Take THAT Sean Hannity !! Take THAT George Bush !!
Take THAT all the naysayers, whiners and pessimist groaners !!!!!!!!!

GO BAMA!!!!!!!

thank you faygokid for the inspiration.. WOW that felt great !!!!

[Faygo Kid]

9. Thank you!! It does feel good, doesn't it?

BAM, indeed!!

[11 Bravo]

8. It's your money.

My primary dollars all went to John Edwards. Afer we have a nominee, my support and my bucks will go to whomever my party selects.

[DesertFlower]

10. yes. i made 4 already.

i guess it's time i made my 5th.

:toast:

[Faygo Kid]

11. I'm up to five now, myself. Thanks.

[DesertFlower]

18. i love that picture. nt

[Frank Booth]

31. Yeah, Obama's hatred of white people really shines through in that picture...

:sarcasm: (I don't like to use this sarcasm thing, but with the ridiculous tenor of this board lately, it's become necessary).

[DesertFlower]

36. i know what you mean.

:crazy:

[Voice for Peace]

12. With you.

This is the first candidate I have ever donated to and I keep getting the urge to give more, it's unlike me.

[DesertFlower]

19. me too. nt

[Utopian Leftist]

13. Ditto

First candidate I've ever given money to, as well. GoBama!

[slinkerwink]

14. thank you for your donation!

[Scurrilous]

15. Good for you!

:thumbsup:

[goclark]

16. I'm in ~ every time someone gives me a vile response

I draw a line on my paper near my computer.

Yesterday I sent him $5, today I am up to $2 and counting.

I don't mind if someone is truly and sincerely stating their side, but when they say something vile to me, I get my check book ready.

[Kittycat]

20. What a cool concept.

:D

[goclark]

23. Yea ~ I've noticed the snippy comments slow way down

when I thank them for inspiring me to donate to the Legal Defense Fund of the NAACP and Obama.... :bounce:

[greguganus]

21. I don't have enough money to do that, even if I donate 5 cents per vile comment! n/t

[CreekDog]

30. you are not alone --one of his biggest days was after New Hampshire

Political analysts said they'd never seen anything like it. Usually after a loss a candidate has more trouble fundraising. After New Hampshire was apparently his biggest day up to that point.

His supporters are invested in him.

I hate to quote Chris Matthews, but in Hardball (the book) he said that a politician actually gains more firm support by asking people to do something (that is, if they do it). Once that happens people are invested in that candidate. Matthews says that it's more effective than doing things for people. He said that LBJ understood this very well and asked people to support him and got a lot accomplished from their support.

[globalvillage]

17. Made mine yesterday.

I donate monthly via Act Blue.

[Crooked Moon]

22. he'll need it

since he's having to donate another $75,000 of dirty rezko money to charity.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0308/9054.html

[Faygo Kid]

24. And he'll get it.

Now, what about Hillary's tax returns?

[goclark]

26. Then I'll have to tell my Mother that he needs more money

My mother thinks he belongs to her,she is 89 years old.

She'll come in to my computer room and say," Do I need you to let me hit the Barack Button?"

If I tell her, "They are messing with him today, she says, "I want to Hit the Button for him right now!"

And, depending on how he is being treated,she'll direct me..."Let me hit it for $10, 20,100 -- she is wild about him."

Mom says hitting the Barack button is much better than going to Las Vegas.

[Crooked Moon]

35. it's the same in many ways.

put some money in the slot and gamble that it'll really give you some "change".

[goclark]

37. Exactly

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

25. I have already promised to...

...donate $25 every paycheck to Obama to help him beat Hillary. There's no better cause for me to donate to right now.

[CreekDog]

27. Thanks for the reminder

he is still the best choice. :hi:

[Raine]

29. Me ... I'm in!

:hi: :-)

[DerekJ]

32. Would it be wrong, if I (as a Canadian) donated money to his campaign

through my American relatives?

ETA: it

[Window]

33. Count me in.

:thumbsup:

[Vapor Trails]

34. Right behind you. Just donated another $50. n/t

[Unbowed]

38. It's like an invasion. They aren't posting at KOS so they are coming here. Oh joy.

Anyhow, I just donated. :)

[jconner27]

39. If McCain wasn't the Republican..

If it was anybody but McCain, I would galdly stay home on election night.
