Perhaps we can contribute to a one day fundraising record. I know we have all given quite abit over this election but if you follow me over the jump, perhaps we can dig just a little bit deeper...
As Politico (a site I hate to visit) points out, Obama is set to raise big bucks in one day at two fundraisers in California..
Politico Article
Barack Obama has planned appearances at back-to-back Beverly Hills fundraisers Tuesday evening, with the events on track to raise more than $9 million combined, possibly breaking the single-day fundraising record.
Given the recent record set of 66 million in a month by the Barack Obama campaign, this might be a great opportunity to change or continue the narrative that may exist at that time.
- If the narrative by the Media is against Obama, this single handely could change it into a positive narrative,
- If the narrative is positive Obama at the time, we could continue that trend or at minimum keep McLame out of the cycle for a couple of days...
Most Importantly - The fact that Obama's campaign raised over 10 million dollars after Palin's gracious fundraising event for us, combined with our fundraising to date, combined with this single record setting day, combined, could make for a 100 million dollar month scaring the bejesus out of the McLame camp.
Whats interesting is a perspective from the article on the fundraising that is taking place...
“People are really scared that McCain is gaining,” said a Hollywood politico involved with Tuesday’s fundraiser. “In my 20 years here, I have never seen folks write checks like this.”
With the economy as it is, the drawn out primary season, and the end of summer combining to a taxing period on the pocketbooks, I am asking that we have an honest gut check time on how far we are willing to go.
Can you give up a couple more lunches you would normally eat out? Or cancel one night out to eat with the family? Perhaps pass on the latte that us elitists have everyday from starbucks?
My Friends (LOL) , I am asking that we again as a community do all we can to take advantage of this opportunity to begin putting Barack Obama, and Joe Biden in the White House.
DONATE HERE I know it hurts at this point, but imagine the PAIN if we fail ?
UPDATE
While I appreciate the donations, I should have made it clearer about donating on Tuesday 09/16 to contribute to the total number raised for that Day. I realize we may raise pennies in comparison to celebrities, but whatever it takes to contribute we should not shy away from in order to help
