Chip in Now to Support President Obama's Agenda

I won’t mince words with you:

I could get a whole lot more done if I didn’t have Republicans in Congress obstructing our agenda every step of the way.

So I have a quick favor to ask.

Right now, we are facing our most important midterm fundraising deadline so far. Frankly, we can’t afford to fall short on this one. Will you chip in $5 or whatever you can today for a Democratic House?

If you've saved your payment information, your donation will go through immediately. All donations today are triple-matched:

EXPRESS DONATE: $5 >>

EXPRESS DONATE: $25 >>

EXPRESS DONATE: $50 >>

EXPRESS DONATE: $100 >>

Thanks,

Barack Obama


*Give what you can.

1. Let me re-write this request.

Hey! You voted for me in 2012 and I appreciate it. Now if you would just get off your ass and vote this time around, you could personally save the country.

Remember 2010? Remember how you voted for me in 2008, but didn't vote in 2010? How'd that go.

Pretend I'm on the ballot, because honestly, I am. When you don't vote in a mid-term, you negate your Presidential vote.

Thanks!

Vote! Vote! Vote!

P.S. I'll take some cash too.

2. I believe Obama will be pushing especially hard for Democrats. Do you think it's too soon

for threads like this? To me, it's almost April and when I saw the e-mail this morning it was a reminder
how fast time goes by. Yet only 1 response, and for that I thank you.

3. It's especially not too early this year.

I wish Obama would get into campaign mode, and hammer the fiscal roadblock the GOP is, every day until election day.

[Jefferson23]

4. I agree and not too shabby so far, an e-mail update was sent out:

Boehner’s going to hate this:

Since President Obama emailed you this morning, 6,098 of you have stepped up! That’s just since 9am!!!

5. Is this another "get the money out of politics" posts?

[Jefferson23]

6. I beg your pardon? Please clarify. n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

7. I always find it ironic that people who allegedly want to get the money out of politics

then ask for money for politicians.

[Jefferson23]

8. The money that is a concern comes from the groups that lobby for corporations/Wall Street/Pharma etc

Are you suggesting we should not bother to raise money for our candidates?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

9. I'm relieved to hear that the candidates won't accept money from corporations/Wall Street/Pharma etc

Go right ahead and raise money. But, don't squawk about "money in politics".

[Jefferson23]

10. Who said they won't take money from corporations?

If you prefer not to raise money for candidates of your choice, that is up to you.

I don't squawk about anything.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. OK. I was talking about the people who do want to get rid of money in politics.

[Jefferson23]

12. No one would accuse you of such a thing..no worries. n/t

13. Dear Mr President, get back to me when your agenda doesn't involve fucking over the people...

With things like free trade, pipelines, NSA spying, drone murders, banker bailouts, chained CPI, insurance mandates, the works. In fact, get back with me when you actually HAVE an agenda that wasn't written by Republicans. Mr. President, the best thing you can do for Democratic candidates is to stay as far from them as possible.

[Jefferson23]

18. Then you'll be supporting Democratic candidates through different channels. n/t

[Demo_Chris]

19. I will do what I can. Obama only motivates me to kep my money and stay home. nt

[Jefferson23]

20. We need to be rid of as many Republicans as possible, so anyway you help meet that end

is all good, I think.

15. Triple matched?

Who/what does the triple matching?

[Jefferson23]
