The "DONATE FOR CHANGE" thermometer seems to have taken a perceptibly jump, since I had last checked it.

[Jennifer C]

11. So good!

:yourock:

[democracy1st]

12. great job I'm quite a ways from that level but I'm working on taking in donations from

other citizens who support Obama

[d_b]

13. Rec!

[BklynChick]

14. fantastic!

[Hope And Change]

15. Yay...K & R!!

[livetohike]

17. Thank you Ernesto

:patriot:

[Diane R]

18. Thank you! It's the best use of your money....I so wish I were able to donate that amount.

[billyoc]

20. I always say it pays to go with the union card every time.

;)

[Bensthename]

21. Wow, that much $$ Obama should give you a quick personal thank you call.

good job.

[VoodooGuru]

23. Dude, you're awesome.

We need an army of people like you.

Wait, we have one, don't we! Sweeeeeeet.

[benld74]

24. Can I have $1850? for next months mortgage?

[samsingh]

25. good for you

[medicswife]

26. WOW!!!! lol Even with my bi-monthly donations, I don't think I'll

reach $2,300, but it's so awesome that you were able to and that you DID!!!!!!

:woohoo: :applause: :toast: This one's for you!!!! :beer:

[Ernesto]

28. I'm just LUCKY to have been a UNION Sheet Metal Worker!

Sure, I fell off a couple of roofs and got plenty of stitches, but I'd be sh*t outta luck without my UNION pensions & SSI.
Unions & SSI are 2 of the very things that the McSames of the world want to abolish. SCREW THAT!

[Better Today]

27. With Obama having so much $$ attention; local and state parties and candidates crying

are suffering. Send some to the red state candidates that have half a chance. Or your county or state Democratic Party. They are almost all suffering because what folks have, they're giving to Obama.

[Ernesto]

29. Well I'm fortunate enough to have also maxed out

for my local congressional candidate, Bill Durston.

[KathieG]

37. Thank You!

:yourock:

[Mimosa]

38. We shall rise and call Ernesto "blessed" *smile*

Those who do good will be blessed.

Ernesto, I'm crying a little, because I'm happy and touched. I've been giving since November 25, 50, 100 at a time. What you've just done is coming at a time when it is most needed to 'take us there' to paraphrase FrenchieCat's song.

Your reason for giving is so damned LOGICAL, too.

[chill_wind]

39. Truly AWESOME. Now those are some hearty grassroots!

K & R

[quantass]

40. NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL A PATRIOT!! Amazing!!!! THANK YOU!

[Undercurrent]

41. Fantastic!

[backscatter712]

42. Awesome!!!

I wish I had that kind of money to give to the Obama campaign.

But hey, he's got a decent amount of money from me, and I've been phone-banking for him twice a week or so for some time now.

Even ten dollar donations and one hour of volunteering help.

[malik flavors]

43. Wow! That deserves a K&R

[olegramps]

44. Wish I could match you

Wish that I could send some money to Obama but the cost of our prescriptions and the rising cost of dog food broke us.

[Ernesto]

45. Once again folks..... I've just been lucky in some of the choices I've made

Just do what you can. You're all heroes to me.

[MadrasT]

46. Oh wow. Just wow.

:patriot: :yourock: :headbang: :party: :woohoo:

[progressiveforever]

47. Thank you, Ernesto

Thanks

[gristy]

48. Sent mine in last week, same as you

$2,300

[Ernesto]

50. Nice shot gristy!

Made ya feel good, didn't it!

[Mimosa]

63. Gristy, you're another HERO!

Let it be, let it be...

Nov. 4 is going to be a happy day!

[DangerousRhythm]

49. Wow, awesome!

:patriot:

I've been squeezing my very empty wallet, giving where I can. It's all we can do! :D

[writes3000]

51. I recommended this hours ago so KICK! Way to go! I gave the limit, too!

It feels great except when you want to give more and you can't.

Now, I'm giving to the DNC.

[Willo]

52. That's great!

Even better that you're feeling great about it :toast:

[Bonn1997]

53. Thank you! You're a true patriot!

[Usrename]

55. WOOHOO!!!

:kick:

[Beausoir]

56. Last Monday, people were lined up outside the Goodwill hut in my little town. Mothers looking for

clothing for their children.

I spent a few hours hauling and unpacking boxes from over the weekend drop-off.

Your dollars would have gone a long way in my small town.

Winter is coming and many folks don't have warm clothing for their little children.

Buying one more tv commercial isn't going to go very far to help these kids RIGHT NOW.

It's nice that you handed over your money, but I am CERTAIN that there are cold and hungry people in your community who could really use those dollars.

Think LOCALLY.

[Mimosa]

64. Everybody does what his/her spirit directs, Beausoir

As Jesus said to Judas 'the poor will be with us always.'

Ernesto, Gristy, me... YOU don't even know what we contribute to various charities. You do what you do, let us do what we do.

A BIG CHANGE IS CRUCIAL AT THIS POINT IN HISTORY!

Or else the social problems will get worse.

[Anwen]

57. Wow, way to go!!

You've just inspired me to donate a little bit more :)

[ecstatic]

58. Thank you! nt

[angee_is_mad]

59. God Bless You, my child

Unfortunately I am not able to donate such a large amount, by I've been making a monthly donation since the primaries.
and yes, my 1st time was all that they said it would be, lol.

FIRED UP, READY TO GO:headbang:

[live love laugh]

60. Thank you patriot!
