More than Half a Million New Donors in August

This morning the campaign announced that more than half a million new donors contributed to the Obama campaign during the month of August, bringing the total number of donors so far to over 2.5 million. In August, these donors helped raise a record $66 million.

Campaign manager David Plouffe said:

John McCain says that he’ll take on the special interests and lobbyists, but McCain can’t fix a problem he’s been part of for three decades. The 500,000 new donors to the Obama campaign demonstrate just how strongly the American people are looking to kick the special interests out and change Washington. We are proud of the millions of volunteers and more than 2.5 million donors to the Obama campaign who are contributing to help us deliver the change we need instead of letting John McCain just continue the same failed Bush policies while middle class Americans struggle.
