OBama NEEDS Funds….a desperate Plea from a Supporter

The Wall Street Journal has reported this morning that Senator Barack Obama has only raised $30 million in June, about $20 million short of where he needs to be in order to beat the Republican’s $400 million machine in November.  [The Obama campaign has issued a statement saying that the Wall Street Journal numbers are way off.  Looks like a false alarm brought about by the Rupert Murdoch owned media machine.]

Senator Obama only raised $8 million more than John McCain, and the Republican National Committee has $95 million dollars on hand compared to the Democratic National Committee’s paltry $3 million dollars.

If these numbers don’t scare you for the future of the country, they should, and we need to DONATE if we want a country that’s not under four more years of Republican rule. Sure, you can say, “But, but, but, FISA! But, but, but, FISA!” and ignore a whole host of issues that we need a Democratic President to work with us on:

  1. Health care.
  1. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
  1. The economy.
  1. The Supreme Court to prevent the rollback of discrimination laws, property laws, environmental laws, civil rights, and keep habeas corpus solvent.
  1. The environment.
  1. Affordable early child care.
  1. Education for our children.
  1. College education.
  1. The national public safety system.
  1. First responders, our firefighters, and police officers.
  1. The highway infrastructure system.
  1. Social Security.
  1. Medicaid.
  1. Medicare.
  1. SCHIP.
  1. Paid family leave.
  1. Equal pay.
  1. Our reproductive rights.

And there’s more that we need a Democratic President to work with us on in 2009. Let’s make it our goal to elect Senator Barack Obama to the White House in November!

We need him.
We can’t afford to lose him.

My future employment and health care depends on a Barack Obama electoral victory in November. I’m 25 years old, engaged, and about $13,000 in college loan debt.

WE NEED TO DONATE.

Do it to save the planet, and you know I’m not joking when I say the future of our planet is at great risk under John McCain.

Wake up. Shake yourself out of that complacency. Get out to register voters. Get out to phonebank. Get out to canvass.

And most of all, get out that pocketbook and donate. 

We need you. Our kids need you. Our grandparents need you. My friends need you.

Wake up and DONATE.
