A reader captured this image, though they're now accepting money again.



And per Stephanie's request, here's the donation page back again!

5. he raised 32 million last month
plus, there is a 2-4 week delay when you try to order your Obama Gear online.
We even ran out of Obama Gear at the Savannah Campaign office. All I have is a pin for my shirt. I might have a ball cap by Friday.

7. Is Obama gear made in America?
Little things like that might get you one more Edwards supporter.

15. America works best when you say UNION YES!

Gobama! Unlike most of congress, I've noticed he actually seems to have heard of poor people. When he punched Hillary right in the nose with the "while I was helping the disadvantaged you were on the board of slavemart" thing in the debate, I actually cheered out loud.

I hope your candidate mentions the working class/poor tonight as much as possible. Edwards brand class warriors like myself will love him for it. Yesterday I just wanted to build my bunker and wait for the end times. Today is another day though.

I've been ABC from the start, but having a reason to vote FOR someone is so much better. NY is NOT out of reach for Obama.
