[quote=Dom1;426751]Yet those people who donate $25 per month are counted as giving $25 or less when in reality they are giving much more. These are not poor or lower middle class people pledging $25 a month over the course of a year.QUOTE]
Dom1, those 1.5 and growing voters are giving at minimum $25.00 donation. Some of those 1.5 million voters or more are even allowing a certain monthly deduction from their check cards, the key here is that now voters can give a certain amount every month. Under the current campaign financing laws, each of those 1.5 million donors have a maximum contribtution amount of $2,300.00. Obama has taken advantage of fund raising on the internet.
On the eve of the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, we reached another incredible landmark: the 1,500,000th person made a donation to this campaign.
This has been an incredible journey so far. Along the way, countless of supporters who had never donated to a campaign before now, and inspiring stories of people who have challenged themselves to donate, to organize, to canvass and call to help build this movement.
The Obama grassroot supporters and every day blue and white collar democratic voters have made it clear to the politicians, corporations and lobbyists alike that the REAL power is with an electorate that is engaged and involved.
