"One Step Closer To Real Change"
July 4, 2008
Over the past couple of weeks, the campaign has asked grassroots supporters to declare their independence from a broken system. We’ve asked you to tell us why you think it’s important that this campaign is truly funded by the people.
Here are some comments from people who matched donations or had their first donation matched…
Cilly from Texas:
When I decided to make this donation, I asked myself what is important about this cause? My answer was if this man is elected president all of the other things I am passionate about will be closer to resolution like environmental concerns, homeless and uninsured children, a neverending war sending home unappreciated veterans. This small donation is one step closer to real change.
Nancy from Wisconsin:
I hope you are as inspired by Barack Obama as my husband and I are. He represents a real opportunity for our country to be something different, something better than it has been in a very long time (perhaps, ever). We have donated many times to his campaign, and even though the amount has been small, it has made a difference.
Let’s bring about this much needed change together.
Virginia from California:
As someone who came of age in the 60’s this presidential election has been a long time coming, and I am very excited by the possibility of electing Barack Obama as our next president. It is inspiring to see the numbers of young people as well as my generation and older participating in this campaign. While there seems to be a huge groundswell of energy and enthusiasm, it is paramount that we stay connected, engaged and active in growing this movement and getting the result we want in this election.
I have never been a political activist, but it really is time for all of us to be heard and seize this opportunity for change. Thank you for joining me in contributing to Obama’s campaign. If possible, let’s do it not just this once, but as often and as much as we can and get others to do the same.
Kathleen in New Jersey:
I am so proud to be part of this grassroots movement that is changing politics from the same-old to the new…of integrity, organization, and vitality. I have given small donations throughout Obama’s campaign and am proud to do so as often as possible. Welcome to a positive and powerful group of people!
Let us know what you’re doing in honor of this weekend in the comment section below.
