The power of $4.00...

I just did a quick donate to Obama's campaign for $4.00. When I do this it makes me laugh even harder at the fools who paid $50,000 for a rubber-chicken dinner where Romney was caught calling 47% of Americans deadbeats. They may laugh first, but we will laugh last, because when I put my $4.00 together with yours and my neighbors' and the guy who bags my groceries and all the others who make up the 47% and all the other Americans that the Republicans want to turn into second class citizens...we are a whole lot more powerful than the $50,000 dinner crowd.

I get excited when I see Obama raising more money than Romney...knowing that so many real people are standing behind that money.

Not trying to outdo anybody, but I've been putting it off for too long.

I may do it again next month.

Anyone else?
