Yesterday I saw the video of extreme conservative Michele Bachmann spewing her hate against fellow Americans with a fake smile. This ambush on my senses catapulted me into action and I immediately decided to give money to the Obama campaign.
Yesterday I saw the video of extreme conservative Michele Bachmann spewing her hate against fellow Americans with a fake smile. This ambush on my senses catapulted me into action and I immediately decided to give money to the Obama campaign. The other time I donated was after Sarah Palin's speech at the convention. Every time they decide to pit American against American, I just shell out more money than I have ever given.
But today, I was ambushed by inspiration. By coincidence last night I noticed that the Obama campaign was doing a matching funds drive. So I was extra happy to know that my $250 dollar donation would be doubled.
Today I opened my email assuming that one match would be found, but the campaign had separated out my donation into smaller parts, and five smaller donations were made to match my own. Getting 5 emails telling me that someone matched for $25, or $50, made me tear up. 5 for 1 on hope and inspiration, 5 for 1 on standing up for the country we love, 5 for 1 against intolerance, 5 for 1 giving us a chance to restore the constitution and return this country to its better nature. I like those odds people.
What inspires me about this campaign is all of you.
Please donate and know that we are standing up together.
