Barack Wants Us to Raise $1000 each. Join the GFC!

[redstate_democrat]

Dear XXXXXXXX ,

Barack will accept the nomination in less than two weeks, and the pace of this campaign will get faster than ever.

Millions of new people will be paying attention, and you can help bring them into our movement at this crucial time.

Join the Grassroots Finance Committee (GFC), a core group of dedicated supporters who are setting a personal goal to raise $1,000 each in small-dollar donations.

Barack is relying on ordinary people giving only what they can afford to support this movement. Join the GFC and reach out to your network of friends, family, and neighbors and encourage them to make a donation and own a piece of this campaign.

Sign up to join the Grassroots Finance Committee today.

You don't need to have any prior political experience. This campaign is about ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

You've already taken the first step by setting up a personal fundraising page on My.BarackObama. Today, we hope you will take it to the next level by joining the GFC.

We've made it as easy as possible, and campaign staff will be available to make sure your personal fundraising efforts are a success.

More than a thousand people like you have joined the committee and helped power this movement through personal contact with fellow grassroots supporters. That stands in stark contrast to the campaign being run by John McCain and the RNC.

Right now, McCain and the RNC are raking in huge contributions from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs to fund their increasingly negative attacks.

With just 80 days to the election, we need more supporters like you to join the GFC now.

Even if you have never done anything like this before, you can easily get started today.

2. sadly i have to agree ...

i have a limited amount of money allocated for donation, and my priorities are food banks, disaster relief, and animal shelters (and paying off the CC). American politics has become obscenely expensive and i have a really hard time justifying my hard-earned dollar to finance that circus. Of all politicians, the only one I donated to without reservation was Wes Clark, in 2004, and would do it again if he were running this year. Even tho' Clark did not win the nomination in 2004, I think it was money well-spent because it raised his profile in the Democratic party. This primary season, I sent money to the Edwards campaign because poverty is my most important issue. But after the events of the past weeks, I've felt burned by him and have become even more distrustful of politicians.

I'll probably end up sending something to the Obama campaign in the coming month, but with reluctance.
