I just donated $100.00 to Hillary Clinton for President...

[CyberPieHole]

and I can ill afford it. I'm struggling to make ends meet, but she has made me proud to be an American. I want to see the Clintons back in the White House.

If you support the Clintons and if you want Change you can COUNT on. Not pipe dreams and heel~tapping~dreams, then Please donate to her campaign.

1. I wonder if she'll notice it among the scores of $2000 checks from corporations?

Probably not.

[CyberPieHole]

5. Probably will not mean much...

but if I had more to give I would. Why do you have to be hateful when a candidate has come back from a sure loss? You must be pretty bitter to have posted that. I'm sorry for you.

[William769]

8. Because some people are really poor losers.

[CyberPieHole]

19. I guess...

but why be so mean spirited about it?

[LostInAnomie]

9. Not bitter.

Just pointing out that she's the corporate candidate. Looks at her donor roles.

[CyberPieHole]

15. If your'e not bitter, than why would you bother posting...

and why should you care if I support a candidate here on DU? What is wrong with you? No need to answer. I'm putting you on ignore. Have a wonderful life.:hi:

[ronnykmarshall]

28. I'll join you as well.

[emilyg]

27. Don't rain on my parade tonight.

[regnaD kciN]

13. Because she's a horrible, horrible candidate...

...who will destroy any chance of Democrats being able to dig this nation out of the hole Bushco put it in.

[RummyTheDummy]

30. Seems to me, you're pretty hateful yourself calling another canidates

Message pipe dreams. I donated $200 to Obama today so I cancelled out your measly 100 bucks.

[jonnyblitz]

32. you Obama supporters are the nastiest bunch around.

I never saw a bigger group of raging ASSHOLES. :puke:

[RummyTheDummy]

33. Yeah, I feel the same way about Shrillary supporters

I'll enjoy watching her lose in the GE if it comes to that.

[Anouka]

26. Probably not.

Unless you're out there actively pounding pavement, you're just a name on a mailing list.

But if it makes the OP feel better to donate, then by god donate. I'm extremely worried about them making this significant of a donation, however, when they can ill afford it. $100 is a lot of money to regular folks.

It's pennies in the fountain, to a Hillary Clinton. (and yes, I know the apocryphal stories of rich tightwads that crawl in those fountains to steal every coin. ha.)

That's too much like the fake churches which take the money from lil ol' grannies who only want prayers in return and a bit of holy water, those churches which tell those lil ol' grannies that if they don't donate God will punish them instead of bless them.

Off topic, I remember when I was working for one of those rip-off PIRG enviromental groups which advertise in the classified every summer telling students they can earn $300 - 400 a week canvassing. I didn't earn a dime for all the time I spent. It was a money scam. We were supposed to read off a script, and the prime focus was collecting money. Not knowledge. Not passion for the issues. Money. And at the end of all that time reading those environmental scripts, my group's team leader recited what had to be a 'we don't need you back' script because we didn't make enough money, and then he pocketed his 'share' of the donations. Again, none of us received a dime. And they didn't care about the people whose money was being collected, either. They were just folks who were going to receive more sucker mailings with requests for more money.

I say that, having donated to the Red Cross and Save the Children and feeling happy doing so. But I'm not going to put myself at financial risk to do so.


Take care of home. Then you can take care of everything else.

[BigDDem]

34. You can always donate online via credit card

that way it wont get lost among the scores of corporate checks. :rofl:

[jzodda]

2. Good for you!

support your candidate with pride! And don't let the others who will come to flame you get you down :)

[CyberPieHole]

7. Thanks, jzodda...

Everyone should try and put their money where their mouth is...or go out and help in campaigning. I am living far away from home and can only do this bit for now.

:hi: to you.

[emilyg]

3. I gave $30.00. Hard month for me.

[CyberPieHole]

11. Hi emilyg...

I wish I could have given a little more. I love reading your posts by the way. Always a kind word for Clinton from you.:hi:

[emilyg]

21. Thank you.

[oldtime dfl_er]

4. Thank you

I'll donate as soon as I get paid.

[CyberPieHole]

24. Every little bit helps...

politics is expensive.:(

[William769]

6. The day after Iowa I sent a check for $300.00

I am now at my limit.

[CyberPieHole]

23. I was so moved by her speech today...

I hate to admit it...I shed a couple of tears...is that crazy? I really was so friggin shocked that she came from behind. What a great night...but the race is gonna be tough. May the best woman win.:toast:

[regnaD kciN]

10. Too bad...

...you'll probably need that money to help pay your required-by-law insurance premiums under "No Insurance Company Left Behind" HillCare. :puke:

And now I'm going to have to somehow come up with $200.00 to donate to Obama...

[CyberPieHole]

12. Thank you for your concern...

and now off to iggy land for you.:hi:

[regnaD kciN]

14. And also with you...

:spank:

[Zueda]

16. Heck why not!

I always thought living in America should be just like working at Walmart. GO HILLARY!

[Anouka]

17. Giving $100 when you can't afford it is like tithing 10% when you can't afford rent.

They are not going to notice if you give in dribs and drabs (unless you're Mormon or go to a prosperity ministry church) as you can afford it. It's fine to give $5 here, $10 there, that adds up.

But (like I tell folks who put money in the church tithing platter when they don't have groceries and the utilities are about to be cut off) don't give what you cannot afford to give.

The most serious thing is that she doesn't need your money. She has the biggest war chest out of any of the candidates. You give a dollar, you give 100, it's all the same to them. To her.

She needs your volunteer work. Not you putting yourself in dire financial straits.

[ronnykmarshall]

18. I love you!

Thank you.

I've got a new big ass mortgage on my new house ... but I'm gonna donate again as well.

Thank you. But please donate what you CAN. Don't get yourself in a bind.

[CyberPieHole]

20. I love you too!

I love reading your posts...fair and balanced but in a GOOD way.:toast:

And, no need to worry, I worked some overtime and will just spend my money that way and won't get the jeans I wanted.:(

[quinnox]

22. I will be donating when and if she wins

I don't have much money either and I will hold off to donate what I can when she wins the nomination.

Anyway, ignore the asses who seem upset, they are just angry (some are hysterical) Hillary won tonight, its human emotions.

[Little Star]

25. In the morning I am on it .

$50 is about all I can do right now, but every little bit helps. I think she will happy to hear that lots of smaller checks are flowing her way. It will help and show her that we want her to win.

[ronnykmarshall]

29. I sent $50 early last week.

Probably more towards the end of the month.

[shayes51]

31. I just sent her $50.
