I gave to Obama every month and I have to admit my giving has slowed down. How about you? I'm gonna send some money tonight.

3. Yes, I did give during the primaries but haven't for the GE
I'm going to donate to EMILY's List, but probably not till August. I've given more this primary cycle than I ever have, but I'm beginning to get really turned off by the amount of money necessary and the amount of spending people have done.

5. what would cause me to stop??
have we won something or do we still have a fight??

i can't afford to give much, but i will give to try to get someone in the WH who might, and i know the difference between might and will, who might get some things headed in a different direction in this country...

7. I'm still giving, but...
... since the primaries ended I've been splitting my monthly donation between the Obama campaign and the DNC.

21. She doesn't care.
She's still bitter and looking for things to criticize Obama about. It's blind rage. There's no logic to it.

16. I didn't, and I'm not.
I'm on a limited budget, and all my campaign contributions are going to elect my progressive Representative candidate who is facing a strong challenger in the primary.

23. Yes I intend to keep giving at the 25 to 50 dollar range, as I did during the primary.
I just couldn't bring myself to hit the DONATE button for a while after the FISA vote, but the big picture is starting to come clear to me again, and I will be doing it before the end of July.
