We Hit $7.5M and Stopped the Counter..... why go on..... Do Dollars matter?
People Matter
We Matter
Tonight, Obama has started a new drive, one others will be hard pressed to match... He stopped counting dollars and he started counting donations... not the amount, but the giving. He's counting you and me every time we give... and that counts more than any dollar, any amount, because it counts us Equally...

Perspective Below
We announced tonight a new drive for 500,000 Donations by March 4th for the year 2008.
Perspective: January 31st: 224,000 Donors = $32M announced
Today when announced: 317,000 Donors
Using same math ratio of $142.85 per Donation = 317-224= 93,000 Donors X $142 = $13,206,000 IN FEBRUARY!!!
Left to go: 183,000 x $142.85 = $26,141,550
Total from 500,000 Donors = $71,425,000
In the 5 hours since the tally went up, he's now at 326,577. That's 9,234 Donors in 5 hours... or $1,368,074... 5 Hours. Will this slow? Maybe when he hits 500,000... But really, a gap of 177,000 will only take days more at this pace, if Hillary keeps a Money war underway... What I would have given to see what the Ticker would have done when Terry Mac went on TV boasting that His Campaign just reached $7.5M, the same figure Obama decided to stop Counting petty $$$'s at... and start counting the movement.
This is what a Movement feels like. Obama has Hard Working Americans sacrificing, giving up Restaurants, Fast Food and Beer, eating Canned Soup for Lunch every day, working for change in thousands of ways other than just money... because money only buys TV ads, yet Obama, he moves people.
Barack's National Call team made 10,000 calls yesterday to Washington and Louisiana, and made 12,000+ calls today. Please, try 20 calls Friday... Your effort is always the difference maker!
YES WE WILL!
