Check in here if you will be willing to increase your Obama donations to make up for the slack
that will occur because of various individualized agenda frustrations, a hurting economy, as well as natural decrease is interest based on an incumbent President.

There is a lot of noise from the blogs about staying home, withholding cash donations, etc.

I will personally double my 2008 donation to help offset at least one financially struggling family.

1. I'll be making up as much as I can
Not only Obama, but any organization that has been unfairly targeted by those with an agenda.

My Rep is Jerry Lewis (CoRRupt-CA) and I have no hope of seeing him out of office, but I can dream!

7. Yes!
And family obligations kept me from working for Obama as much as I have for past campaigns. I plan to step up there, as well. And I'll make sure that my kids, who will be 18 and 14 in 2012, participate as well.

8. For sure
because those gun toting teabaggers will be out raising hell. If we stay home and withhold donations, they win. :mad:

12. Yes, I will definitely increase my donations to Obama for the next election.
Somebody has to counteract the idiotic push for Dems to not donate and not to vote or vote third party.

Seems like quite a few liberals have never heard of game theory. Pity that. It's simple logic but for the logic impaired an advanced political science class just might have helped.

13. I hope to be able to donate to Democratic candidates this year -
even the "liberal media" is writing us off for the election in November-Tweety thinks it's a good joke on the Dems that the GOP will "win 5 or 6 seats in the Senate".

We must stand together or we will lose what very little advantage we now have, and have absolutely NO input into government.

20. I'll quadruple if necessary. You just can't put a price on some things,
and this would be one of them.

21. I intend to increase my donations for Obama. In addition to
donating for my Democratic Senator who is up in 2010, I am going to try and donate at least something toward other Democrats running for Senator in 2010. Especially those running against a Republic incumbent whom I especially want to see go away. I can't vote for Democratic candidates of other states, but at least maybe a small donation will make me feel like I hit a lick.

22. Thanks for this thread, AVID~ I thought about it
yesterday even though I wasn't online and knew when I came back ..I wanted to donate to the OFA:patriot:

Here's the link now.. http://www.barackobama.com/learn/about_ofa.php

I haven't donated at all since the election 'cause I was taking a break from all the donations leading up to that..whew!

So now I've a had break..
