i offered a matching donation to Obama today.
Edited on Mon Oct-13-08 04:04 PM by mkultra
I donated for the first time some time ago based on the matching donation system. Since we are so late in the game, i thought i should step up and offer a matcher. So my $50 donation apperently got a new donor in CT to donate as well and she sent me a nice little message.

I told here that this was the first time i had donated to a national campaign and it just seemed too important to not help.

When she donated, she said that it was a first for her too and that she felt the same way.


I must say that the strange excitement I got from it seems almost addictive. Now i must wrestle with the desire to do it again.

In either case, Heres to you Susan in CT.

i think you must have donated at least once to set up a matching donation promise.

3. I've donated several times. I'll go poking around the website
& see if there's any way I can set up a donor match.

7. HELL YEAH!
Lets top off the treasury $25 at a time. Nothing like a constant tv ad campaign to slam McBush/Falin

8. I got the same e-mail and made my donation today too.
Not much this time - only $25. But, I keep sending those small amounts whenever I can.

9. I got it too and I will be sending another donation.
If DU alone averaged $10 per person on the matching it would generate over $2million.
