DU Obama fundraising seems pretty slow.

[Laurab]

I know I forgot about it, and donated last time without going through DU, so just thought I'd post a reminder since it's the last day of the month deadline, and I just donated (through DU this time).

McCain IS going nasty as Obama's latest email says - I hope we can help ensure Obama's fundraising stays healthy!

1. $40,000 for Kerry in ONE month in '04!

Only 14,555 for Obama so far.....c'mon DU!

2. I've sent my donation in but have not heard from Skinner or any of the mods

They have ignored the emails and letters I've sent making sure that my donation has been received. I've yet to hear back from any of them. Did they receive the donation? I guess I'll never know...

4. If you mailed it, it looks like it goes right to Obama.....

I'm not sure how you sent it - wish I could help.

9. Thanks. I appreciate that. I sent a donation to DU. I work in D.C.

and the DU headquarters is here in D.C. I never got anything bounced back to me in the mail. I've inquired about the donation several times and no one has responded.

10. Well it must have gotten somewhere...

I'm sorry you can't find out - I think that's why a lot of people miss the old "Ask the Administrators" forum - it came in handy for things like this.

3. Already Gave the Legal Limit, Didn't Know About Doing It "Through DU"

We're gonna have to raise BILLIONS to match all the FREE ADVERTISING they are giving McAin't.

6. Yeah I forgot about doing it through DU, too

I'm not sure the free advertising is helping McOld though - he just seems to look more and more like a fool - even people who WANT to vote for him have to wonder about his sanity - unless they stick to Faux News, and in that case there's no help for them, anyway.

5. I'm doing in-kind donations

to my local Obama campaign. That way I know the money goes to the foot soldiers in my area.

7. That's great! n/t

8. A couple of recs would be greatly appreciated!

Even if you donated already, just to remind people it's the end of a fundraising month!

11. I have been donating to my own fundraiser and directly to the site for the backstage

pass.

[Laurab]

12. Good luck!

I donated for a special t-shirt and couldn't do that through DU. I'm still waiting for it, but I imagine they got lots of donations for that one.

15. LOL

I donated through Gore's website the night he endorsed Obama. I've donated through DU a couple of times and I've donated directly to the campaign in response to some Obama e-mails (like the backstage pass one). A little bit at a time is what I can afford and reminders help.

[Laurab]

13. Ah well I tried - one rec short! n/t

[Mabus]

14. I donated a few days ago

It was only $25 but it was what I could give (it being near the end of the month and all).

16. Either next month or in September I'm going to try to do a

DU challenge. I just need to handle a couple of expenses first.

17. For those who could afford, great.

I can't. I didn't donate to any candidate this cycle. I only donated to DU once so I could keep my star so I wouldn't have to look at the ads.

18. There have been months when I couldn't afford a thing.

I give when I can, and only what I can afford, but just wanted to remind people who CAN afford!
