Just made my first donation to...
Obama...$25 is all i can afford right now, but its a start...i wonder what # contributer i am?

I started off this primary season as a pretty die hard edwards supporter, Iowa for obama really surprised me and his speech i watched that night just blew me away to put it simply...by SC i started to transition into supporting obama, then when edwards dropped out...well that was it.

i wish edwards had caught on, his simple rural-urban populist message would be catching wildfire if he could have stayed in it, but alas it was not to be...i do miss john and his wife to this day.

obama has inspired me with his message, and with edwards out i never ever considered supporting hillary...so you do the math...obama will be the next president .

anyhow...just wanted to share.

6. join the crowd!
You can tell by my name that I was an Edwards supporter - I wanted him to stay in--he was so good at keeping his opponents focused on the issues, at least when the media wasn't talking about his haircut!

Obama is inspiring - as much as the idea of a female president was appealing, I never found Hillary inspiring. Anyway, here's to victory!

13. great!!
his campaign was built by people who cannot afford much. But when there are a lot of us around who can only give a little, it adds up to a big change!

14. Congrats!
Made my first ever to Obama a week ago. Just some odd tip money,not much- right now we're scrounging, but I felt it was signifigant in that I feel strongly enough about his candidacy to do something I never did for any of the other candidates in any election.

Thank you for sharing! :)

15. As a fellow Biden supporter said (back in the day) --
contributing to his campaign was like investing in the future.

18. Yes. Thanks for noticing!
One of mine too. :D

My actual fave gilliam movie is Baron Munchausen, I'm working on finding an image from it and perhaps using that for awhile.

16. You have just joined a group of Patriots that could say are like the 1776 group!
Welcome! I have given twice but small amounts too. I just wanted to be a part of a great political movement for the future!

19. Thank you! Welcome to the 1,500,000
Robes are hanging to the right at the bottom of the stairs. Please choose a color that compliments your season. Koolaide is in the kitchen and if you are nice to Sniffa, he may even hook you up with some Vodka for it.

26. Absolutely.
I couldn't give much, but I want to be able to tell my kids, and for them to know as they grow up, that we helped out with Barack's campaign.
