It's not like last time because we have less to spend thanks to John Doe Walker, but then that was the right's plan all along. I'm not going to be swayed, even though it is a smaller amount. Please do what you can. He is far from perfect, but is doing the best he can with a huge mess. Did anyone really wonder who would want this job after Gdub wrecked the whole country? This man stood up to the task and is making some good changes. Please help if you can. Even a couple bucks helps!

It's sad how much of this will end up in the hands of the very media who hate him.

Senior citizen, limited income, white, female, single..all good reasons why I donated this week.

I love it.

(16,401 posts)thought I would go sign-free until Sept. But I think I will get it out today. At least I don't have to water it like all the dead plants around it's location.

(16,401 posts)but between now and election day, it will be more than I donated at once 4 years ago.

(810 posts)I'm sure it isn't much in the big scheme of things, but I'll continue to donate until election. It is hard to keep up with the Adelson's and Koch Brothers of the USA, but hopefully we have the numbers and the message.

(6,994 posts)and the problem is with this election they have billions behind them and it just scares the hell out of me...I just cannot understand why any main street American could ever voter for a damn Republican and even more so if that American is a union member..
So with that said....I will be contributing to the Obama campaign because we cant allow this election to be stolen by or purchased by the likes of the Koch Brothers.
