So, I'm not sure how to solicit money for Barack, though I have an email list that I send political updates to. How do I get those friends and family members who have been sitting on the sidelines in terms of showing financial support, but are actually Obama supporters, to go to their computers and donate? Well, here's what I'm doing.
I call up, I ask for an early birthday present: "Hey, this might sound a little silly, but I know you're an Obama supporter, and the best and only present I want for my birthday would be $5.00 to Obama." I explain how important it is terms of the campaign to have everybody who is a supporter show it in a concrete way. We chat a bit about what's going on in the race, and that today is the last day in April, so it's especially important to give today. So far, I called my brother, and it worked. I have a niece, a sister, two step brothers, and step father, some cousins, and who knows who else.
So, maybe this would work for you!
