Midnight deadline: Double your impact
Friday, October 17, 2008 7:40 PM
From: "Michelle Obama" <[e-mail]>

There's nothing like being on the campaign trail with Barack -- right at the heart of the largest and most inspiring grassroots movement in the history of politics.

Our team put together a video that captures that energy, and I had to share it with you.

See what this movement is all about, then make your first donation of $5 or more before it's too late to make a difference.

It's taken a lot of hard work to get this far, but we still have millions of voters to contact in a very short time.

This week alone, we need to grow this movement by 100,000 new donors -- but we're almost there.

If you make your first donation before tonight's deadline, a previous donor will match your donation and double your impact.

Please watch this short video and make a matched donation of $5 or more for the change we need:

https://donate.barackobama.com/match

Barack will be the underdog until he's in the White House, so keep working, keep talking to your friends and neighbors, and together we can change the world.

Thank you for your commitment, passion, and hard work,

Michelle

1. If DU sent what it has now - wouldn't that have a bigger impact than waiting for 100,000? nt

3. Since the DU donation page is at Obama's website, I'm sure the money goes straight to the campaign,

and isn't being sat upon by Skinner waiting for $100,000.

If the money is sitting at DU, I'll cut off my head with a band saw.

2. Any idea if it gets doubled if we go through the DU donation portal?

I'd rather that the money be doubled than credited to DU if I had to choose.

4. I just donated and was given the name of the

person who is matching my donation. Way cool. A sense of real camaraderie :bounce:

5. Did you go through the DU portal?
