So I Just Made My 1st Donation To Obama
This is the first time in my life I've ever been so inspired to actually send a friggin politician any money, and you know what? All the Clinton supporters who would make those posts that I would always make fun of, the "I just donated to Hillary and it feels good!!!"threads,well they were right it really does feel good-sorry Clinton supporters that I made fun of...you were right and SFJ? Wrong again...as usual

1. I made my first to Obama a few days ago.
I agree, it feels good to put your money where your mouth is.

2. I was hoping you would give the reason
But welcome to the world of the donors. I started donating in 2002, and the five Senate candidates I funded modestly all lost. But eventually things started to improve. :)

6. I plan on donating to BO
I have donated to Andrew Rice 3 times here in Okla. Trying to get J. Inhofe out. What an embarrassment to our state.

7. Big Thanks!
I also gave money for the first time to any political cause back in February, and it does feel good. And the Hillary supporters should also feel proud to support their candidate of choice.

12. Hubby & I are retired & just making it but we gave a little bit to Obama yesterday
It sure wasn't much but I felt like we had to give something. We need Obama to give some integrity back to the White House! It is OUR house after all! We might have to put a tent out front in the near future, but I know that I have lived an honest life and that is what I expect from our next President!

GObama GO!!!!

14. woo hooo!!
I had had no plans to donate to another primary campaign, but Obama pulled the $ from my pocket too. I just so want him to be in the White House and soon!

Plus it's kinda fun.

Anyway, thanks for pitching in!

David
