1 Hour 30 Minutes
until the deadline for the month of July. We need to donate to Obama because these attacks are coming early and fast. They've hit him on three different issues this week:

1. The injured troop visit in Germany ad
2. The Celebrity ad
3. The Race Card


I fully expect for the McCain campaign to hit the airwaves in the next couple of days accusing Obama of "playing the race card" and saying calling on people to tell Obama "not to divide this country". I've been hearing that tone and those talking points dropped all day. Usually when they do this, they follow up with an ad to reinforce or "legitimize" what some talking heads have been talking about. This is all coordinated and the M$M is on board with the McCain campaign.

We are on our OWN. We are basically keeping this campaign, and thus, the fate of the entire world afloat. My $25 and your $25 is what is keeping this campaign afloat and is the ONLY hope for the fate of the world.

Please, we have 1 hour and 30 minutes to donate to Obama before the end of this month. We need to rock it out.

4. Thanks
I'm going to be broke before this is all over. I already made my donation this month last week, and now I just made another one.

You know when you make a donation and at the end you get transferred to a page to send out emails to your friends?

Well, here is the message I sent to my entire address book, premade by the Obama campaign.




Hey,

Instead of a serious debate on the challenges we face in this country, John McCain's campaign has given us a steady stream of desperate, negative attacks.

Tonight at midnight is the financial reporting deadline for the month of July. I just made a contribution to Barack Obama's campaign and watched a great video of him at a town hall in Cedar Rapids, responding to John McCain's attacks.

Watch the video and make a donation here:

https://donate.barackobama.com/deadlinetonight

Thanks

2. McCain=Bush III
We can't get distracted from the message and label Dems have given McCain since the primaries...call him Bush III everytime, to all you know, everywhere you post...and we can't lose.

10. I'm with you. I fluctuate too.
Since I started donating to the DNC, I have to budget more. But this mess just really made me mad. I guess I have to give up Starbucks next week. It's worth it though!

And I don't even patronize them, so that's huge!

11. I'm in the central time zone but I go by eastern time for the campaign deadlines
I don't know why I do that because his campaign office is in Chicago and they are central time zone too. I just like to be on the safe side. :D

12. I just donated under the wire..Here's my story I wrote along with my donation:)
I was born in Denver and I would love to go back to the 2008 Democratic Convention to join Barack Obama and everyone
else who is cheering our campaign on to Victory in November!

Thanks, Obama, for being there for us.

15. Great.
I never write my story in that little box. I think I did once when they had the contest to eat dinner with him. But not since then. Oh well. I don't expect to get chosen to go to Denver. I bet hundreds of thousands of people have donated just for that chance. It is going to be an amazing night.

is going where you want to and there's that odd chance in a million.
