John Edwards supporters. The campaign needs cash. Can you contribute?
I got an email from the John Edwards campaign. Here's an excerpt..

John and Elizabeth are on their 36-hour "Marathon for the Middle Class" bus tour across the state. The enthusiasm and the size of the crowds are unbelievable -- we've not seen anything quite like this before.

We know it's a tough race in New Hampshire. But we also know that folks who live in New Hampshire have a strong independent streak -- and that when they vote tomorrow, they will vote for the candidate of real, lasting change: John Edwards.

Your contribution to help us raise $100,000 before midnight to expand our final outreach efforts will allow us to reach those independent and undecided voters.


If you support John Edwards and have a little extra cash below is a link to donate. I donated last night and I'm going to send $50 more tonight. Remember too that for every dollar you donate, the Edwards campaign gets matching funds.

1. I've already given them $200 in the past 7 days.
I might give more later, but I can't afford it now.

3. Make sure you contribute through Edwards site only and he will get matching funds if..
you contribute $250 or less. I gave up to $250 over several donations and now my husband is, so he will get matching funds on all of it!

12. My response?
I agree with him on the tearing up. If I was him I wouldn't have said it but it is the campaign trail and he spoke is heart. He could have made up a bs but more diplomatic answer I suppose.

It's funny to me that the most coverage that ABC has given to Edwards is about his haircut and now this. Hey at least he's getting SOME press.

14. Actually, Edwards has been all my local news stations - all day - all channels!
Edited on Mon Jan-07-08 06:56 PM by Breeze54
He's been getting interviewed but not featured as
much as 'Mac the Jerk', HRC, Mitt the Shit (old Gov) and Obama

13. So JE can be a 'dick' - good for him! Sent $250 today....
None of them are going to make it to the finish line without being a 'dick' occassionaly - it's the nature of the beast. HC has a pretty sharp tongue herself - and I admire her for it. I just prefer JE's platform to HC's and can't get a handle on Obama's at all.

15. I am sending fifty right now - Remember, donations up to 250 ARE DOUBLED

Under public campaign matching funds.....

So, it may not be huge but it will be 100.00, & that's something!

C'mon everyone, the first time voters who have no idea about politics are throwing this to Obama. Let the adults who pay attention show their might!

DONATE anything you can afford, & if you have time tomorrow, PHONE BANK. I am!

22. Scroll down past all the contact info boxes, you'll see it.
It says "Pay by US Mail or Paypal." And you don't have to fill out all the info on that page, just click the Paypal link and pay as you normally would.

17. I have donated twice in two weeks (not large amounts), and plan on donating more
as soon as it's financially feasible.
Go, Johnny, GO!!
