Remember, when you donate to Edwards funds up to 250 will be matched....

Public campaign financing matches your donation up to 250 dollars. Donate 25, he gets fifty. Donate 250, he get FIVE HUNDRED.

If you love John Edwards, but still haven't donated, NOW is the time. Let's defy the corporate media & give him every cent we can afford. This is THE time to invest in Edwards. If he can pull out a second place in NH, the media will not be able to ignore him, & his message will continue to catch fire as we move onto super Tuesday.

You can also go to Edwards site & phone bank from home to NH voters. Edwards will need all of our help to win this thing. Or, if you are in driving distance, go up to NH on Tuesday & go to a volunteer headquarter & help out.

Obama may have billionaire Oprah & be the media darling, but the people can decide this, if we put our hearts and our souls into this battle.

GO, JOHNNY, GO!

1. Right On!
I don't think many people realize this, but it's true. It's good to keep getting the word out.

2. The FEC is out of business, it doesn't look like anyone will get matching
funds any time soon.

7. Biden and Dodd are gone
So I think there will be money. I trust Edwards to know what he is doing. He's very efficient.

13. Actually, Edwards is able to 'bank' matching funds.
So even if he doesn't get them right away, he'll be able to spend against the contributions that are recorded.

Or something like that.

5. Thanks for posting this. It's also important to remind people that he ONLY gets the matching funds
for direct donations. If you donate through ActBlue or any other group other than his own campaign organization, he WON'T get matching funds.

I already donated, and I hope to find a way to afford to donate more soon.

14. You were reading my mind when you began composing
I knew I'd heard something about the FEC, Edwards and ActBlue but I wasn't sure what the outcome of it all was.
