I just donated $120 to Barack, despite being pretty broke. Who's with me???

[NC_Nurse]

:D YES WE CAN.

Don't let the turkeys get you down! :bounce:

[tekisui]

1. I'm with you that I'm broke.

I'll send $50.

[NC_Nurse]

Love you, tekisui!!!

What does that mean, anyway? :P

[tekisui]

16. A Zen Master changed his name to

tekisui upon enlightenment. It means "Drop of Water". I chose it because I see myself as one drop of water in this river.

[NC_Nurse]

18. Well, let if FLOW, Brother!

I'm so glad you're here! You are one of my NC touchstones. We've GOT to bring it home. :loveya:

[tekisui]

[NC_Nurse]

32. Thanks, I'm sure Mark Penn will appreciate getting paid.

:)

[dkf]

40. Well if you contributed $2300 then you've only got $6,997,700

to go until she's out of debt.

[NC_Nurse]

60. Truly. What a waste of money.

[BobTheSubgenius]

96. Oh, not to worry.

If the Clintons hold to form, they'll make that back and more before Labour Day.

[slinkerwink]

70. thank you for reminding me to donate to Obama!

[Tarheel_Dem]

103. ahhh...another one who throws his money away. that's cute.

hillary peaked on Super Tues., but the party's just humoring her right now. It's over, and everyone else knows it. I just hope she realizes it soon as well. Kinda sad really....

[gal]

255. Stopped dead???

Seems to me he's picked up more SD than her the last few weeks or do they not count?
I will donate to counter your nasty message.

[ScarletSniper]

33. Count me in..I've donated and so have others I know..last count 12 people..9 new donors gave...

I gave $75 last night..all others not less than $50

[NC_Nurse]

37. Fabulous news!!!

We are taking this over now. PA was the last state that Hillary was sure to win -
and she had to go WAY into debt to hold on! THIS is OUR time! :toast:

[ShortnFiery]

35. I'm with you NC_Nurse. This will be my third donation and I can give $100.

On the way! Yes, we're not going to let them STEAL this Nomination from US, the American People. :patriot:

Best wishes to your and yours. :hi:

[NC_Nurse]

38. Way to say it, SNF!!!

We are fighters too, and we fight for REAL change and ORDINARY people, not cronies and
the powers that be! :yourock:

[ShortnFiery]

113. Yes, Barack Obama is truly "grace under pressure" ... I'm so proud of him.

It is a tough row to hoe but if we can continue to support him and he wins the Presidency, we will be truly BLESSED as a Nation. Further, The World Community will release a "collective sigh" of relief.

Bless all of you! Stay strong - what's MORAL and RIGHT is not ever easy. :yourock: :grouphug:

[williesgirl]

41. I'm on disability, but gave him another $25 around Midnight.

[NC_Nurse]

44. OMG! That is so wonderful of you! EVERY donation counts, but yours is

No wonder he's flush. :D

49. Glad you lost your donor "virginity".

51. Pennsylvania Victory Brought in $2.5 Million

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=ax.qGwLcFzow&refer=home

April 22 (Bloomberg) -- Hillary Clinton parlayed her victory in the Pennsylvania Democratic presidential primary into a pitch for funds, and her campaign said she raised $2.5 million in the hours after the polls closed.

``We can only keep winning if we can keep competing with an opponent who keeps on spending so massively,'' the New York senator said at her victory rally in Philadelphia. ``The future of this campaign is in your hands.''

Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee said the money came in less than three hours after voting ended. He called it ``our best fundraising night ever.''

I'd like to know how much Obama's raised.

[NC_Nurse]

52. More. Count on it. He always beats her fundraising.

2.5 million won't even pay her debt to Mark Penn.

[Zachstar]

248. So much for her 10 million bull

[City Lights]

53. I kicked in $50 this morning and $25 last week.

I'll probably donate again next week.

[NC_Nurse]

56. Alright! We're doing great!

Thanks for giving every week! :yourock:

[Vapor Trails]

54. Just sent another $25..

And gave $25 last week with a matching donor responding. We need the SD's to step up.

[NC_Nurse]

57. Yeah! I hope they do, but I'm going to work like they don't exist!

:D What else can we do? Thanks for donating! :toast:

[cosmicsheep]

55. we just did

Glad to be of service!

[NC_Nurse]

58. Aw, that's great! It's much appreciated!

So are cosmicsheep those that follow the cosmic trends? :D

Sounds better than the usual sheeple! ;-)

[NC_Nurse]

59. Let's keep this kicked! I have to go shower so I don't stink up the Obama

office this afternoon. :D

[Inuca]

61. Another $25 n/t

[NC_Nurse]

63. Yeah!

:toast:

[myrna minx]

62. I made a modest contribution last night.

Yes We Can!

[NC_Nurse]

64. Excellent!

Fired up!

[Zachstar]

77. YES WE CAN!!!

[NC_Nurse]

65. In 2 hours, we made $915+, probably over $1000!!!

Yes We Can!!!! Off to the field office to report for duty.
NC for Obama!!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:


:patriot: Have a great day everybody!!!

[Zachstar]

81. In the last two hours there have been thousands of new donors!

Keep it up everyone! We are going to outfundraise Clinton and go into May EVEN stronger!!

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

66. $25 more from Colorado

The SD's can't ignore the fund raising prowess.

[NC_Nurse]

68. So you really ARE here!

:P Thanks! :hi:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

67. I'll donate again tomorrow (payday!)

[NC_Nurse]

69. Okey-dokey!

Sounds great!!!:toast: Thanks!

[RBInMaine]

71. Just donated again.

[NC_Nurse]

72. What can I say besides

:yourock:

WE're going to do this thing! Look at all this support! :D Thanks, RB!

[Zachstar]

74. Yes! we can do this! We can outfundraise Clinton and make Obama's warchest even stronger!

So thank you!


GOBAMA!!

[NC_Nurse]

76. Damn right! And thank you!

GOBAMA!

[Zachstar]

98. I try! Keep up the spirit everyone!!

[WA98070]

75. Beat you to it, I think. Anyway I doubled my last contribution to him! (:

[Zachstar]

78. Nice!! Thank you!

[NC_Nurse]

80. If my house sells this weekend - I'll join you.

*fingers crossed*

Otherwise, I am in a world of hurt financially! :-(

But I'm doing my best Scarlet O'Hara - "I won't think about that today. I'll think about that tomorrow."
I have plenty of time to freak out - AFTER Obama wins NC!!!

[Zachstar]

84. Best of luck to you!

Hugs!

:grouphug:

[Zachstar]

79. Just a note that in the last few hours thousands of new donors have Donated to the Obama campaign!

According to the graph on his website compared to records being kept here!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5625976&mesg_id=5643514

[NC_Nurse]

86. Great news! Thanks, Zachstar!

[Emillereid]

82. I gave $100 last night - I try to give $100 every time Hillary pisses me off - if this

primary doesn't end soon I'm going to be broke!

[NC_Nurse]

88. You and me BOTH! Thanks!

:yourock:

[Zachstar]

89. Better than maxed out like most of Clinton's old donors!

Tho please don't go broke over a primary! We still got the GE!

[stillcool]

83. I just donated the piddly...

amount I could afford. Better something than nothing at all! I'm invested!!

[NC_Nurse]

90. Those are the MOST important donations, because you REALLY have to

believe to give them! Thank you! :patriot:

[Zachstar]

91. ANYTHING helps!

Because together they form a HUGE warchest to help turn May into an Obama month while Clinton has to shake her warchest just to defend Indiana!


GOBAMA!!

[EnviroBat]

92. I'm in.

Gave earlier in the month, but I can scrape a little more.

[NC_Nurse]

95. Thank you. Every little bit helps (to repeat myself, but it's TRUE)!

:hug:

[EnviroBat]

106. You're most welcome...

:hug:

[since72]

94. My $50 bucks worth

Been there, Did that.

[NC_Nurse]

99. My husband was born in '72, me in 1961, so I'm officially a cradle robber!

:P Thanks and smooches for you! :* I like 1972 vintage, a fine year. :D

[Zachstar]

102. LOL!

[Zachstar]

144. Thanks!

[SoonerPride]

97. Another $50. I'll give till she quits.

Yes, I can.
Yes, we can.

[NC_Nurse]

101. A great principle. She needs to GO!

Si Se Puede!:yourock:

[Zachstar]

110. YES WE CAN!!!

[AllexxisF1]

100. I just matched you.

Stop the drama vote Obama.

[NC_Nurse]

104. Great slogan! Who needs more drama in life? We got wars, pestilence, a

fucked economy...sheesh! Fired up and READY! GOBAMA! :patriot:

[Zachstar]

107. Can you please crop and compress that image? It drives the 56k people away!

It is over 200k when it needs to be less than 30!

[NC_Nurse]

105. Damn! I hate to leave this thread, but duty calls! Now that I've

eaten my elitist PB&J sandwich, it's time for me to meet the other RADICALS at Obama central here in Chapel Hill, NC!

I love you ALL! :hi: :loveya:

See ya later!

[Zachstar]

108. Have fun! GOBAMA!!!

[stillcool]

112. oooh boy!

I'm so looking forward to your posts in the coming days!

[Zachstar]

116. Me too!

[Renaissance Man]

109. I've donated!

Just donated $20 about two days ago. I'll be donating another $50 Friday. I might just go into my 401 (K) and send $1,000 after we have this nomination thing sealed up.

It feels great to see my dad inspired. He's like a teenager again. He's organizing a "Barbeque for Obama" as we speak.

[Zachstar]

111. Oh cool! Obama is bringing the Country together!

Just think Once Clinton rallies behind Obama we will have a force that will completely defeat the republicans come November!

[invictus]

114. I also donated more than I really can afford to because I intend to do everything I possibly can ...

to get Barack Obama in the White House in order to get America back on the right track. No more warmongers in the White House! No more talk of "obliteration" and callously singing about bombing other peoples. We need a president who has the correct temperament not to abuse the power that is given to him and to focus on improving the lives of ordinary Americans instead of lining the pockets of special interests and enriching himself and his wife as the Clintons have done.

[Zachstar]

115. Thanks but please don't put yourself at risk.

Obama has quite a warchest so no need to go into ruin.

But thank you! and I agree! It is time for something different! No more abuse!

[shomino]

117. I'm broke too..

But I donated today.

OBAMA '08!

[Zachstar]

119. GOBAMA!!

[PuppyBismark]

120. I did it last night.

It is time to rid ourselves of the cancer that is HRC.

[Zachstar]

121. Thank you!

[backscatter712]

122. Next payday, again!

Right now, I'm having cash flow issues, so I've got to conserve, but next payday, Obama's getting more!

[Zachstar]

123. Looking forward to that! Thank you!! Every little bit is going to help us win!!

[barack the house]

125. It's an investment, the more you believe in him the more he will in us. Which is great for democracy

[NC_Nurse]

126. I'm back! Time for another kick!

They let me off, an extra person showed up! Now I can obnoxiously kick this thread while I pack for Atlanta tonight. }(

[Zachstar]

132. Kick 2.0!

:kick:

[Honu one]

127. YES WE CAN

I just sent another $100. :bounce:

[NC_Nurse]

128. That's great!!!

We are raking it in today! And now with the NYT on board...Hell yeah!

Thanks for your gift! :toast:

[Zachstar]

131. Awesome thank you!

[NC_Nurse]

129. STOP THE DRAMA! VOTE OBAMA!

Slogan stolen from upthread. Thanks, AllexxisF1!


:woohoo:

[Zachstar]

130. Ha!

[Lucky 13]

133. Donated first thing this morning and got my sister in Texas to do the same!

[NC_Nurse]

136. I bet he brings more in today than she does. Even after his supposed

"thumping". If she gets enough to pay off her debt, it will be a miracle. I wouldn't extend her credit if I were a merchant in IN or NC.

Thanks for your $$$! And your sister's! :hi:

[Zachstar]

140. Not likely to pull in more by today However Between now and May 6 I think he can

The multiple Clinton gates are about to hit hard now that the attention is going to Clinton.

Her donors will worry about donating to a black hole of a campaign again and she will yet again be left with mainly maxed out donors.

Tho I have to admit I am glad they are maxing out on her now. Because she will empty every cent of that into defending Indiana and then there will be but a few new donors left willing to join her.

So lets keep it up everyone! Lets build the Obama May warchest!

[NC_Nurse]

143. I dunno. Personally, I don't have the money to pay off other people's debts.

Especially when I see they've been spending like a drunken sailor to no great effect. ;-)

[Lucky 13]

134. dupe

[FrenchieCat]

135. I gave last night....and I had contributed during the 1 minute for Obama on Monday.....

At this point, I have to wait another week.

Thank you for your contribution.

I did send a "Donate to" letter to my mail list last night. :)

[NC_Nurse]

137. You are keeping this board in line, you and ProSense and Katz!

You're doing SO much for us here! Hat's off to you! :patriot:

[FrenchieCat]

139. There are so many excellent and dedicated Obama supporters on this board,

it ain't even funny. Thank you for giving me Kudos, but there are many, if not more, as deserving of your praise. But I'll take it! :pals:

[Zachstar]

141. Well Obama is getting everyone together. He is inspriational

If we give this much attention during the presidency then lobbyists will just have to go home because they cant influence congress as well!

[NC_Nurse]

142. I know I probably forgot some, but kudos to ALL who post actual DATA

and NEWS for us and not just drive-by snark (not that it's not fun too). :)


:hug:

[Zachstar]

148. Well here is some DATA for ya! 1.41 MILLION people have donated as of this post!

[Zachstar]

138. Thanks!

[joehack]

145. good

I'll try too

[NC_Nurse]

147. That's all we can ask. We're all trying our best.

:) :hi: Welcome to DU!

[Zachstar]

151. Every little bit helps!

[knixphan]

146. look in your rear-view mirror

That's me comin' up with another 100.

We gotta keep the fight funded, and keep special interest $ down.

GO GRASSROOTS!

[NC_Nurse]

149. I see ya!!! Way to go!

Si Se Puede! :yourock:

[Zachstar]

150. Amen!! Grassroots Gov and Grassroots Space!

Time for the lobbyists to take a hike!

[NC_Nurse]

152. As of now, we're $1410+. This is great!

[Zachstar]

154. Yes! Keep it up everyone! Lets outfundraise Clinton!!

[ej510]

155. I just gave $1000!

[NC_Nurse]

156. Are you f*cking KIDDING me???

Holy Sh*t!!! Tell me you're not joking. :D

[NC_Nurse]

159. Cue the music..."We're in the money"

"Happy Days are Here Again"

Please tell me nobody robbed a bank or anything. :D

Kidding, I'm kidding. (just in case DHS is on the board lurking)

[ej510]

161. I'm not!

I've been saving this.

[NC_Nurse]

162. Wow. That is SO wonderful of you! I wish I could do that...

I'm floored by your faith and generosity! :loveya: :grouphug:

[Zachstar]

165. Me too! GOBAMA!!!

[Zachstar]

166. Me too! GOBAMA!!!

This is a great day!!

[Zachstar]

164. Holy moly!!! Thank you!

[ZinZen]

158. Donated 25.00

[NC_Nurse]

160. Right ON, ZZ! We are going to get this thing DONE!!!

Thanks! :toast:

[Zachstar]

168. Thank you!

[Zuiderelle]

167. I just donated $200,000 to Barack.

whatever :eyes:

You should save your money until we have a nominee. Sad to waste it like that.

[NC_Nurse]

169. Another bitter Hillary supporter.

Too bad, so sad.

[Zuiderelle]

177. Not bitter at all.

:hi:

[Zachstar]

170. More like you are trying to stop the donations so clinton has the advantage

You think I don't see that two bit POS post?

[Zuiderelle]

178. LOL! Yes, I was completely serious. I just gave 200K in order to stop you from making a couple

of bucks here. :rofl:

[Zachstar]

179. Considering the fact that it is against the law to donate 200k

[Zuiderelle]

186. You need to look up the word "sarcasm" I think.

[NC_Nurse]

194. Go work for your candidate. She needs you.

Buh-bye! :hi:

[Labors of Hercules]

213. So, what was sarcasm? That you're NOT full of shit...

or that you're rolling on the floor laughing? :shrug:

Just wondering.

[knixphan]

171. that last 100 put me at the 1000 mark!

Whohooo!

[Zachstar]

172. Awesome!! building that warchest!!

May is going to be OBAMA month!!

[NC_Nurse]

174. That is so inspiring! I'm not there, but I have put in a bunch of hours at the

office! :D :pals:

[Fox Mulder]

173. I'm broke because I filled my tank up.

Damn gas prices.

I just donated another $20.

[NC_Nurse]

176. Don't I know it! My husband said it cost him $45 to fill our car up last night.

Holy Jeebus!!! Thanks for the $20, Barack's made most of his incredible haul on small donations like yours.
Not the MAXED OUT folks that Hillary panders to.

[Zachstar]

181. The news is talking about how people are spending 100 dollars at the pump.

The gas prices are insane. If we do not open the reserve soon the trucking companies are going to start going out of business.

[Fox Mulder]

183. Woah, I didn't spend that much.

But that's horrible.

It cost me $40 to fill my tank. x(

Oh, and at the store yesterday, I got a week's worth of groceries for $100. I remember a few years ago when I bought a week's worth of groceries for $40.

[Zachstar]

187. One of the reasons I plan to join the Military next year.

I can't afford to live life outside of the Military. The only thing I can do is work so America gets a great commander of the armed forces (Obama) Urge him to support things such as fusion and opening up the reserve and go!


Heck atleast I WORKED to help the military before I prepare to join!

[NC_Nurse]

191. OMG! Another reason we have to GET OUT OF IRAQ NOW!!!

I dread what you may be getting into unless we have a CIC COMMITTED to diplomacy over
military interventions. :scared:

[Zachstar]

202. My life means little compared to the many who needlessly lost theirs.

Many of them with kids!


No I will be fine. I want to Join the Navy to work in Fusion because they will be the first to have it.

[NC_Nurse]

190. I know the feeling. Thank God my son went off to college. He and my

husband had me spending OVER $200/week on food! I shudder to think what it would cost now.
Even just two of us, trying to eat cheaper (we've pretty much cut out beef, fresh fish, expensive cheeses), we're spending almost that.
OUCH!

[Zachstar]

203. With costs like that think how many people are living on vitamin pills and ramen noodles.

This 8 years of Bush without doing crap to get us off of oil is going to cost us dearly. We do not have time for small solutions we MUST have change in now so that we can get stuff going AT ONCE. Rather than waiting for the lobbyists to come up with a solution.

[graycem]

175. Nice!

I am not bragging, so please don't take it as that, but I have donated for the 3rd time this week alone to him, and several times to the DNC, and the DCCC once, always ending in .08, so they know where it's coming from. The first time I ever donated to anything political was in 2004, to J.K., because I wanted Bush gone so bad.

This time, it's so different. Every time they do something extremely atrocious, like that sham debate, I donate again, and I think many people must be following that same principle. That's why he's kicking fundraising butt. I know for me, every time I click that button, it's my own little personal "face scratch" (in blanguage! :D ) to all the people who keep trying to spin everything like he's not winning. Feel's great to be involved.

180. My Grandma used to say: It's a poor dog who don't wag his own tail!

In other words - feel free to let us know about how COOL you are! Go ahead and brag if you want.
You are helping make the difference for ALL OF US! Thanks to the ire of people like us, there are a lot of
"face scratch" donations! :yourock:

[graycem]

204. Nah...

You're coolest! Nursing is some hard, selfless work, so in my eyes your dollars are better than mine... I swear every time I read about it here, or on other sites, about people giving whatever they can, people who are retired or just barely getting by because of job loss or gas prices or for whatever reason, I get a whole new sense of patriotism. Just so proud because this election is so important, and so many regular people have invested so much to get take our country back. Really is a beautiful thing.

(and that's a new one for me... and I've heard many, that was the best thing about my gramma, her wit. For any situation, she had a simple one liner that always seemed to be true..)

[NC_Nurse]

207. Aww...that's really sweet! Actually, when she said it, she meant that you

should go ahead and brag when you do something good. In that old country saying they meant poor as in "poor in spirit". :-)

My grandma had a LOT of old Southern country sayings that I've never heard anywhere else...she was from swamp-ass, cracker Florida. Way
back in the day. Very Southern, VERY rural.

[graycem]

212. LOL, mine too..

but the Loozy ones... she would wake up literally with her chickens every morning to do the usual southern things like making biscuits and all the "good food that kills you" from scratch... (man that lady could cook) and she was ever wise about the world. Yay for grammas everywhere. :D

[NC_Nurse]

219. Love it! Here's to Grannies!!!

:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

[Zachstar]

182. I notice that! Every time they try to crap on him the donations flood in!

I can't WAIT to see the numbers! My guess is he will be over 40 million!

[graycem]

206. I can hardly wait too..

I love the fact that he has a near endless supply of small donors. This has to be the smartest political move ever. He won't even begin to tap out all the way through to November. Smart team he hired, and yay for us.

184. There's Nothing Elitist About...

189. While I was on the site, I found this...

Former Edwards National General Chairman and 49 Other Edwards Supporters Throw Support to Barack Obama

Edwards backers call North Carolina primary clear choice between real change and more of the same

Raleigh, NC -- The Obama campaign today announced the endorsement of 49 prominent supporters of John Edwards - including Ed Turlington, Edwards’ former National General Chairman. These North Carolina leaders - ranging from Members of Congress to a former Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court to former law partners and longtime friends of John Edwards - cite Barack Obama’s commitment to fighting for change on behalf of working Americans and taking on the special interests in Washington.

"Barack Obama and John Edwards share a commitment to taking on special interests and standing up for regular Americans. Along with Edwards supporters from across the state, I am honored to join Senator Obama's movement for change,” said Turlington. “As president, he will bring together Democrats, Republicans and Independents behind an agenda of change. From ending the war in Iraq to confronting the scourge of poverty to making health care affordable for every single American, Barack Obama will bring our country the change we need.”

Cool indeed!

[NC_Nurse]

193. Doesn't surprise me one bit!

[Zachstar]

195. I am still holding out hope that Edwards will endorse Obama. Just a hope.

[NC_Nurse]

197. Hope's what it's all about. Otherwise, we'd all have given up over these last

horrible 8 years.

[Barb in Atl]

226. I hold out that hope as well... n/t

[Zachstar]

188. Nice!!

[graycem]

200. Awesome.

Was it a matching donation? I love those.. hearing back from someone on the other side of the country about why they support him. That was a terrific idea for his campaign.

[Barb in Atl]

245. Not this time.

But the donation I made before was matched. I apparently have to search the site so that each donation I make will be matched.

Thanks for the heads up (thought it had been a one time dealie).

[Arkansas Granny]

192. Delete, wrong thread.

[NC_Nurse]

196. Funny how the turkeys start landing when they see you beating them...

[SKKY]

205. I gave an extra 100...

[NC_Nurse]

209. No problem, I don't always tell mine either.

Your secret is safe with me. ;) And a very quiet "Thank you" too!

[Labors of Hercules]

211. I'm gonna tell on yoooooooooouuuuuu.

:P

Wha'd I miss last night???

[NC_Nurse]

218. Me sweating. Was that place hot or what?

We watched a bit longer and I called it a night. I suspect numbers will
close some over the next few days as provisional ballots and more final vote tallies come in.
can you believe all the donations we got on this thread!!!???!!! GOBAMA!

(For those who may wonder, last night we were at a gathering for Obama volunteers to watch the PA returns. No surprises. Darn!)

[Zachstar]

214. Ha!

[MattNC]

208. I'm in for $25

my first donation to a candidate ever. I can't really afford to donate much, but I couldn't pass up doing so. He's the first candidate I've ever been truly excited about. (I'm only 26.)

[NC_Nurse]

[Missouri Girl]

221. I'm an Obama convert and I just made my first donation!

I like to think of myself as a pretty sharp gal, but I must confess. . . I was snookered and played by the Clinton machine after New Hampshire. I could kick myself for falling for it. Thank God I never sent any donations to THAT campaign and now I have seen the error of my ways.

Looking forward to many more opportunities to give! Cheers!

[NC_Nurse]

223. Welcome to the team! Glad you saw the light!

We're SO glad to have you. Thanks for donating, MG!

:pals:

[Zachstar]

227. Welcome! And thank you!

[psychopomp]

224. Done

I have been confident for about a month that Sen. Obama will eventually win the nomination in this Primary race. That being said, it is up to supporters of his campaign to help make sure it happens.

GObama! :bounce::bounce::bounce:

[Zachstar]

228. Indeed! And thank you!!

[NC_Nurse]

230. You rock!

Gobama!!!:toast:

[NC_Nurse]

232. Way to go!!!

Fired up! Give a shout out to all of them! :D

[Birthday]

[dana_b]

240. NC_Nurse, that's fantastic!!

I can't afford $120 right now, but I did give $25 last night after his (and our)loss.
from another nurse in California...

[Zachstar]

251. Every tiny little bit helps!!

[ileus]

241. No way I donated 300 bucks to C1 to pay off my credit card.

[SoonerPride]

253. I'm down for giving between $100 and $150 per month until November.

I've given up porn.

















;)

[EnviroBat]

254. Nice, I appreciate your sacrifice...

We made our own, and it's more economical that way. Better too!

[Omaha Steve]

256. Not at this time

Marta and I together kicked in $360 to John Edwards. $100 of that was a few days before he dropped out. Right now we are helping candidates that are strapped for cash across the country. At this time Obama doesn't need it the way others do. But I'm glad so many have given so much to ANY Democratic candidate!

[Zachstar]

257. Well yes the congressional campaigns could use some love.

With some running at under a million dollars they could use some money.

[wrando]

258. I went $250

but it went to Hillary

who's with me?
