It's Lincoln's birthday--time to "money bomb" Obama!
This is an action item I got from Daily Kos.

Go to Barack Obama's "matching donors" donation page (https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/semmatch?match_campaign_id=4) and give $5.01. The reason for the odd amount? It's Lincoln's birthday, and Lincoln is on the five dollar bill and the penny. By using the matching donor page, the campaign will actually get $10.

It's fun, it's cheap, it helps Obama--come on, Texas, join in!

1. Great idea - scary title
I'll donate, but you know that bombing name idea - kind of scary.

2. How much?
Does he really need to take money from poor people like us who can barely afford it?

The energy company ComEdison gave him over $200,000. MK Communications gave over $200,000. Time Warner gave over $200,000. Cerberus Capital Partners gave over $50,000. Solomont Bailis healthcare ventures gave thousands. Core Capital Partners private equity fund gave thousands.

Why does he need us?

3. He needs your vote
You don't have to give money if you can't afford it.
