Donating to Obama online is all fine and well...
...but I still find writing a check, and sealing it in an envelope, satisfying in its own bygone way. Kind of like putting aside the iPod or the CD player, and going for the crackling warmth of vinyl on the turntable. It's a nice way to cap off an evening of paying bills and balancing the checkbook: donating to Obama For America!

Obama '08 :patriot: :bounce:

2. You get one, every month...
It is filed with the FEC, all you have to do is go to their site, it's all there.

4. I don't write checks, or lick stamps.
All my bill paying and donating (except when I see Al Franken or Tim Walz in person, I guess) is done on line.

5. I appreciate the adhesive stamp era, lol
That's an innovation I welcomed, being that the ones requiring a lick never tasted pleasant.

I normally donate online, but since the Obama campaign sent me a snail mail solicitation, I thought it would be fun for old time's sake. ;-)

I recommend it for anyone who still uses checks, and wants to write a worthwhile one on this "VP Eve".

I like to wade into the muck of GDPres once in a while - but nobody's perfect. :hi:
