ORGANIZING

FUNDRAISING
Barack Obama does not accept donations from Washington lobbyists or special interest groups. Instead, we depend on a network of grassroots supporters giving whatever they can afford.



PERSONAL FUNDRAISING PAGE
Take the fundraising process into your own hands. Help support the campaign by reaching out to people you know and asking them to give through your personal fundraising page:
http://my.barackobama.com/outreach

MATCH SOMEONE'S DONATION
This campaign has always been about reaching as many people as possible and bringing them into the political process. When you make a matching donation, you'll learn the name and hometown of the person whose gift you match, and even exchange a note with them through our unique system:
https://donate.barackobama.com/match

STORE
Let everyone in your community know that you support Barack. All purchases through our online store go to support our campaign and are considered political donations. Show your support in style:
http://store.barackobama.com

As we prepare for the general election, a strong grassroots network will be crucial to our success.

Thanks,
Obama for America

8. Thank you! I just came in from a fundraiser for Obama with Matt Damon, Ben & Jen Affleck
It was great fun- really well attended- sold out as far as I know!

Tomorrow is canvassing down here in Miami- tomorrow and every day for anyone who can donate time. We have a lot of work to do folks and we all need to chip in. Those of you in the very blue states, we're going to need your help in the purple and red states big time! Phone banking from homes is something we all need to get really good at!

Get involved folks-- it's time.
