Democratic Underground Obama 08 Fundraising is not even half way met

[Demi_Babe]

we really need to change this pronto. I'm serious guys and gals. Let's do something about this. Any ideas on how to bump up the total? It's for the most critical cause in our lifetime. I was able to add an additional 40 bucks today. What can you do? We gotta do this together. It's the only way we are going to win this fall.

1. It's *bush's fault. Bush raped the economy!

Gas prices, food prices, school supplies and fees...........I'm broke!

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. Same here :^( It's really tight for a lot of people this year.

[yardwork]

2. Oops. I keep forgetting to donate through DU.

[goodgd_yall]

8. I did too

and I can't spare anymore right now.

[Sugarcoated]

4. My first donation through DU is today

And another directly to Obama. I'll give monthly from here on out if I have to.

10. Geraldine, is that you

you cranky old bitter bitch :rofl:


Really, for your first post you want to kind of start slow, then wait till around 25-30. Then you can act like the asswipe you know you are :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Sugarcoated]

11. Haha

[Larkspur]

12. I won't donate to Obama because of his support for the last FISA bill

and he supports free trade even though he currently says he opposes it. His closet economic advisors are Rubin and his wannabes.

I don't trust Obama. I'll vote for him in November because the Repukes must go, but I'll oppose his pro-corporate agenda after he gets in the White House.

[Sugarcoated]

15. I don't agree with the FISA vote either

but this time there's too much at stake.

[stray cat]

13. I donated directly for the free shirt and car magnet bumper sticker Obama/Biden!

[Greyskye]

14. Come on, folks!

I tried to get a "Biden Spike" going through the DU fundraiser page on Sunday, but only made it about halfway to the modest goal I set.

:kick: & R

[Cha]

16. I just made a donation on DU to Obama-Biden..thanks

Demi! For the message to the political page I wrote.."Hi DU, Love zidzi":)

[truthisfreedom]

17. I just make a $1K donation via the DU page.

I'm givin' till it hurts.

[Mabus]

20. Thank you!

Thank you for the reminder that we all have to give until hurts. Our collective futures depend on it.

[crazylikafox]

18. Just donated thru DU. Thanx for the kick in the pants...

cmon folks, time to send some bucks to flood the airways for Obama next week. Takes money to answer all those negative ads.

[Mabus]

19. I've got to wait until next payday

I've given several times through DU. I've been giving about $20 to $25 each time. But I've also given through the Obama website, the DNC website and Al Gore's website (after his endorsement). I've also been giving what I can to local Dem candidates both here in Maryland and back home in Kansas. I'm tapped out until next payday (Sept. 4). As soon as hubby gets paid I'll kick in some more.


This past month we've had family and friends staying with us off and on and our budget went to shit. As did our productive work and health habits but that's another story.

[Demi_Babe]

21. come on guys...lets get fired up

[Dem2theMax]

22. I donated last night. Am shocked that less than 20 people have added

to it in the past 24 hours. Come ON DU'ERS! Donate. Even $5.00 each will get us to the top in no time.

[Demi_Babe]

23. I'm shocked too...I know we can do better

[Demi_Babe]

24. I wish we could at least get it to the half way mark by the end of the convention

[Dem2theMax]

25. I thought it would be well over the half way mark by now!

I think Grovelbot needs to invade the threads! :)

[Demi_Babe]

26. I still can't believe we can't get it to the halfway mark...come on guys...we can do it

[Demi_Babe]

27. we're at about 40% guys...lets get it to 50% by conventions end

[Demi_Babe]

28. I just gave 10 more...every little bit helps

[Demi_Babe]

29. I'd like to challenge someone to match my 10 bucks...anyone?

[Demi_Babe]

30. you guys...we're doing it...we are almost to the half way mark

we can do this before conventions end...PLEASE dig deep and lets get er done!!!

[AllentownJake]

31. I do inkind donations locally

Sorry can't do both

[Occam Bandage]

32. Eh. I know I should donate through DU, but I usually just go through barackobama.com to donate.

Bad Occam Bandage, not supporting DU's efforts.

[trudyco]

33. I've been flooded with obama mailers and some phonecalls

I've given twice already, before the DU challenge. Maybe I can cough up a little more. At least the Senatorial and Congressional committees have left me alone after I told them I will not give blindly - no more money to DINOs.

[maseman]

34. I have been donating directly to BO online

I just dropped $50 to DU for BO. :)

[my3boyz]

35. Perhaps if the mods would do the pop-ups for donations like they do when

they are raising money for DU, more people would donate via the DU link.

[Demi_Babe]

36. just checked again and we are really getting close...less than 24 hours left...come on...HELPPPP
