Smear Michelle? Slander Barack? Now Obama's Small Donors Will Answer!
by Brent Budowsky | June 20, 2008


Barack Obama allowing his army, navy and air force of small donors to expand their participation in our democracy is one of the greatest acts of political reform since Thomas Jefferson.

snip//

Now, with every lie, the Obama small donors -- who will soon rise to 2 million in number -- are empowered to fight back. The force of their small donations will overpower the lies of the Swift Boat right-wingers.

Now, with every smear, the Obama small donors are empowered to fight back. The force of their $20 donations will allow the truth to overpower the smear.

The small donors are the heroes of this campaign. Their $10 donations will be used to expand democracy by registering new voters. Their $20 donations will be used to expand democracy by involving more average Americans to get out the vote for change and to defend the integrity of the polling places.

Most important, if Obama is elected, their $30 donations, multiplied by millions, growing by the week, will take America back from the power of mega-interests, giving mega-money, buying mega-influence for special interests.

This, folks, is the best kind of reform, and the surest road to real change in a government that should belong to real people, not the oil-company friends of George Bush, Dick Cheney and John McCain.

1. Exactly. As one who gives a tiny bit each paycheck, I never felt so empowered.
It's OUR time and it feels damn good to be appreciated! :bounce:

6. Get this: MoveOn shuttered its 527; time to cough up a bit more of the paycheck.
Great news, but it will cut financially. Link to DUer ProSense's thread:

7. K&R Spot on!!
At 71, this is the first campaign I have ever given to and I have given 5 or 6 times already at $25 a pop. Living on SS means that is allot of money to me.

Obama for America and I am with him 110%:toast: :kick: :yourock:
