Digg it up and donate! Over 4.5 million so far.

Nice to see non-lobbyist money running a campaign unlike some other candidate.

2. Let Obama get $$ from his Right Wing Corporate buddies
Like the Nuclear Plant that paid him to weaken his bill protecting his district
against radioactive run-off.

4. check the records, his are all small personal donations
if your looking for the corporate candidate Hillary supporters have several thread, now that the corps have maxed out they are sending their money in, maybe it will give them a discount on the mandates, but I doubt it!

3. I just donated $50 bucks
with this email I got from David Plouffe!..

z --

I was writing a note to you about the state of the race after Super Tuesday when we got some startling news.

The Clinton campaign just announced that Hillary and Bill Clinton injected $5 million of their personal fortune into her campaign a few days ago.

This is a dramatic move, and a clear acknowledgement that our campaign has the momentum. We saw undeniable evidence of that last night as the results came in.

Barack Obama won the most states and the most delegates on February 5th.

We have gotten to this point thanks to an unprecedented outpouring of support from ordinary Americans.

To date, more than 650,000 people like you have taken ownership of this campaign, giving whatever they can afford.

The Clinton infusion of $5 million -- and there are reports it could end up being as much as $20 million -- will give them huge resources for the next set of primaries and caucuses.

Thanks to you, we have raised more than $3 million since the polls closed on February 5th. But we have no choice -- we must match their $5 million right now.

We're going to do it the right way, with small donations from people like you. It's never been more urgent that you make a donation of $50 right now:

https://donate.barackobama.com/results

Just two weeks ago we were behind by double-digits in many of the states that voted yesterday, but Barack won 13 states to 8 states for Hillary Clinton, with one state (New Mexico) still counting votes.

This is an enormous victory, and it's all thanks to you.

We won yesterday because thousands upon thousands of individual supporters canvassed their neighborhoods, talked to their neighbors and friends, and made phone calls to remind their fellow supporters to get out the vote.

And we accomplished all of this with a campaign funded by ordinary people giving only what they can afford.

Yesterday was proof that America is ready for change -- and that you are the force to make that change happen.

But there's still a long way to go before Barack becomes the Democratic nominee. In the next week alone, six more states will hold their primaries and caucuses.

We need to match this $5 million personal contribution from the Clintons immediately and put these resources to work in the states that will vote next.

Please make a donation of $50 now:

https://donate.barackobama.com/results

Here are some details about yesterday's historic victory. According to official results and exit polls:

Barack won 2-to-1 in traditionally conservative states where Democrats are hungry for a nominee who can change the map and help Democrats up and down the ticket win in November


Our winning coalition included Americans of every race, background, and gender -- including 64% of women in Georgia

We scored wins in every region of the country -- New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the South, the Midwest, the Rocky Mountain states, and the West

Americans had a clear choice to make yesterday, and they chose Barack Obama.

Now let's match this $5 million and take this campaign into the next stage.

Thank you,

David

5. SERIOUSLY!!!!! How are we acting as a party, when we spend this much money to fight other democrats!
I got a booklet from Obama! WTF... it said little or nothing!!! are we buying votes or are we trying to represent the wishes of the people?

Debates are free!!!!

and then we can save our money to beat the damn republicans!!!!

this is why I hate Obama more and more every day!!!!

I am my Precincts Chair... in charge of dropping lit and getting others organized... if Obama is our nominee... I can not speak a single decent word about the guy!!!! and I know unless someone's college age kid comes to the door, they won't want to hear it!

WE ARE F**KED AS A PARTY!!!!!!!
