(42,770 posts)Obama Now Taking Your Donations Via Text
Email0Smaller FontTextLarger Text|Print
Image credit: Obama for America
If you had any doubt that the smartphone was playing a bigger role than ever before in this election, this should do the trick. Today the Obama campaign announced that it will now accept campaign donations via text message. It is the first political campaign to do so.
Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular customers will be able to donate via text starting this week; the donations will be billed to their monthly cellular bills. All you have to do is text GIVE to 62262 and you can donate $10 at a time. Yes, 62262 spells out OBAMA.
It is limited to $50 per billing cycle right now. Standard text messaging rates also apply.
Previously the Obama campaign had accepted donations via text, but you had to register your credit card and phone number on the campaigns website. Now customers will be able to make small donations without signing in. The campaign plans to run ads with the information, making it easy for people to donate.

(42,770 posts)jsmirman
(4,507 posts)I mean, I know a guy who would know a guy (this is someone else), but if someone has a more direct path to the fundraising apparatus, it would be much, much easier.
As to the RFD, those guys are so far from the top of the food chain, I'm afraid.
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)jsmirman
(4,507 posts)believe me, this will be so much easier.
I panicked and donated through the main donation link (I have an "account" at the Barack Obama site as a repeat donor/volunteer/all that jazz), but my donation was for $40.12, so it was definitely of the DU $.12 variety.
His speech had wrapped and I had finished working out and was watching everyone move around the stage when I realized, "Now! Now is the time you agreed to donate." Instinct kicked in and I donated through the main barack obama site.
Hope it is findable.

(18,775 posts)The ABC site says: "All you have to do is text GIVE to 62262 and you can donate $10 at a time."
What does that mean? Type "GIVE to 62262"?? 62262 is the number/recipient and GIVE is the message? Does GIVE have to be capitalized?
NOT CLEAR AT ALL.
Also - how do you designate donation to DU on the Obama website? I don't see any place to do it.

After I donated last night, I ordered several bumpersitckers. Unfortunately, I don't care for the selection on
the Obama store site ( https://store.barackobama.com/ ) as I wanted stickers that say "Forward"...so,
ordered off of Cafe Press ( http://shop.cafepress.com/obama ).

Seriously people. Get out there and DO something for Your Party and everything that you believe in! for your Country! For America!
Get out there and Help to re-elect President Barack Obama!!!
P.S. I wasn't in on the .12 cent DU mark. But! almost everyone I was with last night got on their phones and pc's after the speech and made a donation. People were really excited and happy about the speech and couldn't believe how AWESOME the DNC was. It was fun! and I am excited about November- Let's Do This!
