Overall, how much money did you contribute to Obama's primary run?

[BklynChick]

[Occam Bandage]

1. In total, I think about $150.

[Labors of Hercules]

2. Do they count the hours we missed from work?

Or the donated office supplies, or the mileage and gas, or... :shrug:

[BklynChick]

3. for this poll, no, but of course that's a huge contribution as well in addition to time. this poll

I'm just curious about money.

[Labors of Hercules]

9. DAMN. I was hoping for a tax writeoff!

:rofl:

[TahitiNut]

4. I'll be delivering a minimum of four votes - but unless Obama and the DNC campaign in Michigan

... it won't be nearly enough. A McCain/Romney ticket will have enormous attraction to many in this state - especially after the FUBAR in January.

[Cha]

13. The fubar in January was the fault of the local MIchigan

dinos..but how could that be worse than the last 8 year bushite FUBAR, Tahiti?

[TahitiNut]

16. BULLSHIT.

Don't even try to go to the "blame game." The state Democratic parties of the "Four States" got involved. The DNC took draconian steps that they later back off on. The GOP in this state added their share!

NONE of that had to do with the VOTERS in Michigan. I get sick and tired of such superficial blame-mongering by folks outside this state.

The people in this state feel disrespected ... and they HAVE been. By the Democrats even more than the GOP (who never totally disenfranchised THEIR primary voters!).

It's time to EARN support by more than merely pointing to the failures of others.

[Cha]

20. okay

[rox63]

5. $100 - Two donations of $50 each

I hope to be able to send more for the GE.

[myrna minx]

6. $75.00 plus I bought a yard sign and a few buttons. n/t

[Politics_Guy25]

7. $250-n/t

[libnnc]

8. $75 plus

two yard signs, two hats and two pins.

[MadBadger]

10. Total of about 100

90 in donations and merchandise, and I bought a 10 or 15 dollar ticket to see him in Madison.

I've also bought 25 dollars worth for the next phase.

[Khaotic]

11. In Total: $160

Lots of little contributions added up to a lot. :-)

[Cha]

12. You know what..I really didn't keep track..

Just everytime the moment hit me I would click that donate button and send $25, $30, and $50 bucks. I'm still waiting for my Obama Poster I sent $30.00 for on April 30, 2008.:P

[lojasmo]

14. I voted 50-100

But it's probably closer to $200. I haven't kept count. Still on $25/month.

[CakeGrrl]

15. I think either $550 or $650...

I donated $100 at least three times, then after that last ugliness over MI and FL, I gave him a $250 bump.

:D

[hokies4ever]

18. What's a hundred dollars when you're swimming in dough?

:rofl:

[libnnc]

17. Just FYI

Dear libnnc,

Today, I am proud to announce that our presidential campaign will be the first in a generation to deploy and maintain staff in every single state.

The network of volunteers and the infrastructure built up during the historic primary season -- on behalf of all the Democratic campaigns -- have given us an enormous and unprecedented opportunity in the general election.

We need to register new voters and bring people back into the political process. We need to reach out to Independents and Republicans who know that our country cannot afford another four years of George W. Bush's disastrous policies.

And we need to overcome the three-month head start that John McCain has had to raise money and build support.

Your past support has brought us to the Democratic nomination. But we need to expand our base in order to build this 50-state organization. You can do that by encouraging a fellow supporter to step up and own a piece of this campaign.

Will you promise to match the gift of a first-time donor and double their impact? You can even exchange a note with them about why you are supporting this movement for change.

Help reach our goal of 30,000 new donors by making a matching donation of $25 now:

As in every presidential election, some states will be more competitive than others, and we will scale our resources accordingly.

But unprecedented grassroots energy during the primary means that the list of competitive states will be longer than ever before -- and it will include states like Virginia and Montana that aren't traditionally within reach for a Democratic presidential candidate.

And in every single state, our staff will build volunteer capacity that will provide help where we need it and impact races up and down the ballot this November.

Every day counts -- voters head to the polls in less than five months. This is your opportunity to shape the election by helping to launch our unprecedented 50-state campaign now:

https://donate.barackobama.com/promise

Last month, John McCain and the Republican National Committee raised nearly $45 million.

It's going to take a lot of hard work to compete with those numbers. But we're going to compete the right way.

Unlike John McCain and the RNC, this campaign has never taken donations from Washington lobbyists or special interest PACs. And Barack has directed the Democratic National Committee to make the same commitment.

We're going to build our organization the way we have since the beginning -- by relying on ordinary people like you giving only what you can afford.

Will you help take our campaign for change to every part of the country by making a matching donation of $25 today?

https://donate.barackobama.com/promise

Thanks to your support, Barack Obama is now the presumptive Democratic nominee.

But he cannot determine the outcome of this election on his own.

It will all come down to what you are willing to do.

It's time to answer the call.

Thank you,

Steve

19. I would've contributed the max, but they wouldn't take my money

because I'm a registered lobbyist. So I'm giving to specific Senate and House campaigns (Warner in VA, for instance).
