Donate to Barack Obama
http://my.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/main/benbrownI have donated almost $1000 to Obama. I highly encourage you to donate too, especially because 0 people have donated to my personal fundraising goal. If you donate now, I won't put ads all over your websites!

I believe with my heart.
Unfortunately, I am a broke-ass dirtbag, so I am unlikely to believe with my wallet.

I don't think I'll ever donate to a presidential campaign, and even less so this election because I'm completely undecided.
I did though pledge money to NPR for the first time ever last month and felt awesome for doing so.

Every little bit does help! And Obama is approaching 1,000,000 individual donors to his campaign. He has taken NO money from lobbyists - only money from people like you and me!
ALSO, he voted AGAINST the Telecom Immunity Bill, which Sen. Clinton voted for. This means he took a stand against our government spying on our email. Sen. Clinton supported this bill! She wants to read your emails!

Here's the deal - if you donate, post here and I will *MATCH YOUR DONATION* up to $25.

On a similar note, Larry Lessig is considering a run for Congress. He has a great video about the kind of change he wants to bring to Washington on his new site. I encourage you to watch it!

i made donated to the obama campaign...after biden dropped out. obama will be the best consolation president ever.
i'll tell you this, i would have been onboard with obama out of the gate, if not for his campaign stealing a supporters myspace page, if you recall. he's more than redeemed himself, though.

@ben, should we say how much we donated, or are you notified automatically?
Dead Air said, (321 days ago)
I already donated money to Obama. You already know that, since you are notified automagically. :D

How about a donate-for-a-feature-request drive? :D
If I can get my finances sorted (have a bit of a tax issue happening at the moment), I would consider joining you in matching donations from other folks here.

I did it.
Downside: I'm about to be unemployed and I could use that cash for travel money.
Upside: Since I'm moving I hope I can avoid future money request mailings and canvassing calls. I'd prefer anonymous donations if it wouldn't open the door for corporate and rich-people fraud.

Upside 2: I used my credit card so I get frequent flyer miles for it!
Sucks about the money ending up with fox-ad-execs, tho.
I've already donated $100. That's the first time I've _ever_ donated to a Presidential candidate. I plan on donating more when I have the spare dough. I'll try to remember to do it through your page when I do. :)
