11. Is there any way to give without giving my info?

I want to give him money, I don't want 50,000 emails and snail mails because I did it.

[Tennessee Gal]

12. I don't think so.

The law requires them to get certain information for their reporting of donations.

I donated several weeks ago and have not been bombarded. I have gotten a few emails and that is all.

[Yuugal]

15. um, will they get my credit card number?

Sheesh, when we gave for Thom's scooter is was just a simple paypal thing. I'm very nervous about giving out so much info. Is there any way to paypal him the money so that his campaign people don't have all my info and my card number and exp date too? Sorry to be so paranoid but when you're poor and someone steals your identity you don't eat.

[Tennessee Gal]

16. They have a way to use PayPal.

Lets do this DU!

[bajamary]

23. Donated again

Thanks for the post. I just donated to the Edwards campaign once again.

There is no question that John Edwards really means to fight for the working people in America.

Hillary's too tied into the corporate world.

And Obama is too tied into the sleaze here in my home state of Illinois and my hometown of Chicago. It's only a matter of time before Obama's connections to the now indicted Rezko come out. While I doubt Obama is not personally corrupt, his major backer certainly is. My hero Patrick Fitzgerald is leading this campaign against corruption in Illinois, and it was he who indicted Rezko.

[Diamonique]

24. In for $50!

I wish I could have donated more, but I've already donated twice in this 2-week pay period. So I'm pretty much broke.

I wish this had been announced before I made those other donations. I could have held onto it and done it all today.

But that's OK. It's all good, and it's going to help John's campaign!

[Tennessee Gal]

25. Please help keep this kicked throughout the day!

Go John!

[chimpymustgo]

26. Just donated! Don't forget to donate through JRE's site. so he get's the matching funds!

Go Edwards!

[Arkansas Granny]

37. I donated through PayPal a few days ago and the payment

44. A little background on today's grass roots fundraiser

This was started by a blogger on NewsCorpse.com. He posted his idea to DailyKos, and the rest is history. Here's a link to his dkos post from today about this.

http://dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/1/18/4156/21728/621 /...



Here's a piece of his initial dkos post from January 13th this:

"There's been a lot of talk in these parts about how the media is shutting John Edwards out of the race. He has been excluded from polling. His campaign events have not been covered. Other candidates with less to show for themselves receive more attention. Etc.....

All of the these things are true. And all of the solutions I've seen have merit. We definitely need to put pressure on the media to cover this election fairly. But the media is probably not going to alter course and suddenly exhibit a journalistic integrity that they haven't even thought about since their freshman year of college. They need to be given a reason to change course; a reason that fits their definition of news.

So either Edwards could engage in a high speed police chase with Britney's kids on his lap and a missing white girl in the trunk, or he could raise $7 million dollars in one day."

And here's the link to his original 1/13/08 post: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/1/13/171722/549/52/4 ...

SO LET'S ALL DONATE!! https://www.johnedwards.com/action/contribute/form

:kick:

[More Than A Feeling]

61. Donated. K&R.

Does anyone know how much the processing fees are (that his campaign has to pay) to donate via credit card through his website?

[Yael]

62. It depends on their contract. It isn't uncommon to see something

like $0.20 a transaction plus 3% of the total.

[More Than A Feeling]

67. Good, then he still gets the benefit of most of my money without having to pay a cent to solicit me!

[Arkansas Granny]

58. Is there any way to find out if we met the goal? Does his staff

know of this and would they post updates on his website?

[Tennessee Gal]

59. It is my understanding that his campaign is not involved in this.

It is a totally independent internet effort started on Daily Kos. I have searched for some form of a unified place that is tracking it, but haven't found one.

There is somewhat of a gauge here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/1/17/17235/8304/839/438507

It may only cover those involved on Kos, which I am not.

[Yael]

63. I wrote Mark over at News Corpse (the guy who started this at Kos)

and asked if he knows of anyone tracking.

The campaign is not sponsoring this, but they DO know about it. They are the only ones who will have access to the donation information, so will be up to them as to release information and when and how.

SOmeone could always right the campaign and ask??

[sce56]

60. Error: You've already recommended that thread.

Just gave my $100.00 :kick: Anyone know where we can see todays tally?

[Yael]

64. We're working on tracking that down. The campaign is the only one with access to the numbers

[Tennessee Gal]

65. Good to know. Thanks.

[Blue_In_AK]

[musicblind]

79. I donated as well

I hope they release the final tally of how much they made today :)

[gdaerin]

80. OK, I'd like to tell you that, as an independant observer concerning this matter,

Edwards supporters' fundraising on this site has now reached the tipping point.

I just saw this thread and felt annoyed.

You know what that means don't you? You're turning people off of Edwards. Not, that I support him, and I know he needs money, but it's not good for him to look needy!

[Tennessee Gal]

81. There is no reason for you to feel annoyed.

This is a one day effort. It should be a sign to you that Edwards is being supported by THE PEOPLE!

Surely you can put up with THE PEOPLE supporting a candidate they believe in on this public forum for one single day.

[ursi]

86. Did Ron Paul look needy when his supporter gave millions? NO!

[Tennessee Gal]

87. Good point!

[ChiciB1]

94. Well, I Gave THREE Times This Week! How Does THAT Figure In???

I'm sure ALL money is helpful... but since I made a mistake and thought YESTERDAY was TODAY, I only gave $26.50 today! But all clumped together it was 3 figures!

I saw a post of how many gave here at DU, but is this post included in that number?? Who's the GREAT person keeping track here at DU?? And does anyone know about Daily Kos?? I was over there today and THEY were donating too!

How will be get numbers? I believe I heard that THIS was not an Edwards campaign drive! I don't know where it came from, but I sent it out to all my email friends and some of my family also gave.
