Many people are donating time instead of money. We know we'll be outspent in ads. And there's not a damned thing we can do about it. Raising $1000 for your Obama page doesn't pay for ONE ad to run ONE time on ONE channel. I choose to spend my $50 buying cell phone minutes so that I can call into Virginia and excite others in my neighborhood about campaigning.

Obama's campaign is people-powered. Deal with it.
