We all know that Obama's campaign will be funded by us, we are the ones who are going to do this, and yes, we are all struggling ourselves, but we can give a small amount, and if we do this, all of us, we invest in our future.
There are how many of us here on Kos? How many of us have friends and family members that support Obama but might not have donated yet? Now, now is the time to ask people to invest in the future of America, to give our candidate the support he needs, to make sure we have the finances to go forward against the lies and deceit of the GOP.

So, I am asking you for $8, a dollar for each year we want to see Obama as president. I am asking you to donate now, and to donate again in October, and once more in November. And I am asking you to remind your friends and family members why it is important that they donate as well.
The RNC and McCain are once again bundling money, seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars from those who don't want change, who are happy with the way our country is, they are content to continue to see wages fall, taxes lowered for the highest income earners, they don't want you to have health care, they don't want regulation, they don't want anything to change, and they are putting their money where their mouth is.
We can out raise them, all it takes is a little bit from the millions of us who support Obama, and reaching out to those we know who support Obama and who have never donated to a campaign before. Isn't our future worth $8?
So, you can help me to raise $10,000 for Obama, or just donate through the main donation page, but whatever you do, reach out and ask others to do the same, and let us show our true strength, let us show our support, and in $8 increments we build that path to the White House.
We are better then to wring our hands, we take action, and we, we alone are responsible for what happens. If we care, if we want Obama to win, we will volunteer, and we will go outside our comfort zone and reach out to those who also care, those who can help fund Obama's campaign with a few dollars.
Imagine the story when Obama's campaign reports thousands of donations at $8, each dollar representing a year in the White House, each donation coming from Americans who know what real change is, each and every dollar from small donors who are struggling.
Donate today, set aside $8 for October and November, set up your own fund raising page on Obama's site, but don't sit back because we are this campaign and we determine what resources it will have going forward.
