Wishing Barack Obama and all Obama supporters well!

[FrenchieCat]

And so I will donate to the Obama campaign tonight with that thought in mind.
You are invited to do so as well, as tomorrow is the last day to contribute for the Month of May! :)
Is there a specific link that allows me to make a contribution that will be matched? :shrug:

Chin up. We've got it in the bag. Obama will make us proud! :toast:

Just think of it! Obama is having a rally at the Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota on Tuesday.
That is the exact location where the GOP will be holding their National Convention late summer! :rofl:
Give it up for the "O" Team for dreaming up that one!

Also, McSame's name is sticking....and he is making losta errors in reference to what he has announced as his area of strength; Iraq and National Security (yeah...sure!) :)

Also check out a Robert Greenwald's Brave New World Production on McCain.
It is going viral. 1.6 million views in 4 days (watch it and add to the count!)

2. Hey Frenchie! I predicted 2 months ago that MT would put Obama over the top. Looks like it's going

to happen on Tuesday!

[FrenchieCat]

6. Looks like it.

Boy, this primary cannot end soon enough for me.

Too bad we had so much taken out of us fighting each other.

[John Q. Citizen]

21. I'm all fired up and ready to go. I'm scheduled to knock doors all day tomorrow and

Sunday, and to hang lit on Monday and do GOTV all day Tuesday.

It's the big final push and I too will be glad to take a week or two off before seeing how I can help in the GE campaign. I think we have an opportunity to win MT in the general, it won't be easy and it will be uphill, but if we give it a good shot it will make McCain expend resources here at the least and net Obama 3 more electoral votes at best.

The left has a shot to get a seat at the table, the first shot in about 40 years and I intend to seize the opportunity. It's time to use up all the powder and call in all the chits!

[ruby slippers]

10. there was a mention of matching in an Obama email I got tonight

from the Obama site. It was for 250.00. I already gave my 250.00 this month, or I'd join you....

[Cha]

11. I don't see a matching donation link this time but here's the "50 states".

Wishing Obama and all us supporters strength and courage as we go forward into new waters that are loaded with m$$$$fm minefields.

Dear z,

When Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee, we're going to turn out voters in all 50 states to vote for him and Democrats up and down the ballot.

Barack Obama's unique strengths as a candidate and the broad grassroots movement that has come together to fuel this campaign mean that we'll be competing in more than the usual few swing states.

Our unprecedented grassroots campaign will compete in states Democratic candidates have ignored -- places like Nevada and Colorado in the West, Georgia and Virginia in the South.

June will be a critical month. The final contests of the primary are less than a week away, and we'll need to move quickly to mount what will be the broadest national campaign in a generation.

The financial reporting deadline is this Saturday, and we're going to have to take this campaign to the next level in order to compete. You can help send a clear signal that we're ready to start preparing for the general election today.

Your support has already gotten us this far. Help us take the next step by making another donation of $25 to build our movement in all 50 states:

https://donate.barackobama.com/fiftystates

As the presumptive nominee of his party, Senator McCain has had a three-month head start -- which means we'll need unprecedented resources to compete with him in the coming months.

Fortunately, supporters like you have already started building the organization we'll need to succeed in November.

Together we launched an unparalleled voter registration drive in all 50 states, and soon we'll begin training thousands of Obama Organizing Fellows who will work to build our movement in communities across the country.

After more than four-dozen primary contests, you've built a network of millions of volunteers who are ready for the next step in this journey.

But Barack still needs your support to secure the nomination and prepare this campaign to compete in every part of the country.

Help us show that we're ready to start preparing for the general election by making an additional donation of $25 now:

https://donate.barackobama.com/fiftystates

With your support, we can open offices across the country and give staff and volunteers the resources they need to register voters in communities that have been ignored for years.

And no matter where we go, we're going to continue to run a different kind of campaign.

But Senator McCain and his allies are preparing to use the same old negative tactics that have left so many of us disgusted with politics.

Barack will respond aggressively and rapidly to any attacks that come his way, and with your support the voice of a new kind of politics will be heard loud and clear in every part of the country.

With the financial reporting deadline approaching, now is the time to show your support. Make another donation of $25 now:

https://donate.barackobama.com/fiftystates

Thank you for everything,

David

24. Mission accomplished.

[Cha]

[cliffordu]

14. Thank YOU FrenchieCat for all the wonderful work here at DU -

[FrenchieCat]

20. Thanks, cliffordu, KAZ and horseface!

[RazBerryBeret]

15. I donated today as well.

got the matching option from this link:

https://donate.barackobama.com/promise

my matching contribution was from a man in Indiana ...I'm from Ohio..
two of the swing states!!!

[NotThisTime]

16. I forgot today was the last day, here's the matching pledge link

Right now you have a unique opportunity to go head-to-head with George W. Bush.

This week, John McCain and George Bush gathered behind closed doors, away from the cameras, to raise money for McCain's campaign.

McCain used Bush to raise a reported $3.5 million from a group of about 500 Republican contributors.

That's a lot of money that will undoubtedly be used to attack us and make the case to continue George Bush's failed policies.

But I have an idea about how we can match it. And we don't need George Bush.

Right now, you can be the reason that someone decides to take the leap and own a piece of this campaign. If you make a donation today, your gift will match their first donation and double their impact.

You'll see the name and hometown of the person you inspired to give. And you can even choose to exchange a personal note about why you've decided to support a different kind of politics.

Your past support has helped us grow this movement. Please make another donation and double your impact.

Your donation of $25 will equal $50 for our cause. Make a matching donation now:

https://donate.barackobama.com/promise

As the presumptive nominee of his party, John McCain has had a three-month head start to build his campaign. In that time, he's made his fundraising strategy clear.

In the words of one reporter, the gala fundraiser with Bush was "part of McCain's delicate effort to find the balance between embracing an unpopular president and taking advantage of his huge continuing draw with well-heeled Republicans."

We'll see more of this dance in the weeks and months ahead, but we already know the steps.

As we prepare to take on John McCain, now is our first chance to show that a grassroots movement of people giving only what they can afford can go toe-to-toe with the Bush-McCain fundraising machine.

And with the last three contests of the Democratic primary coming up in the next five days, the resources we're building right now are an urgent necessity.

Help build our movement by making a matching donation today:

https://donate.barackobama.com/promise

John McCain can run from the cameras, but he can't hide from the fact that he's aiming to continue George Bush's policies for a disastrous third term.

Let's show that we're ready to take him on.

Thank you,

Barack
