D.U. Donations: 982 people out of 127,588 registered users. Can't we do better?
(as of 6:00 pm EST., 9-17)

The average donation works out to just over $64.00! But only 982?

$10.00 anyone?

9. What's the point of donating through DU? I've donated a bunch of times but never here.
Why does it matter?

10. makes you kinda wonder
about hillary's supporters. she has that $22 million debt and 18 million voters. if each person gave $1.50 her debt would be retired.

15. I just donate at his website.
Today for instance, they had a matching donor thing going.

I don't know how the donation through the site works security wise, but I feel safer typing my card numbers directly into Obama's site.

16. Many have donated more than once, like me, making
the average even more pitiful.
