That's right. In the TEN HOURS since that story was released, more than 80,000 NEW, first-time donors have given to Obama's campaign. If you haven't given yet, do it NOW before midnight and join the crowd! Not 170,000 anymore, but 250,000 and climing. That’s right.

So many Obama supporters, on the other hand, like me, have given 25 dollars here and there and will keep giving as often as they can afford it. He's going to have money rolling in for a long time, and the small contributions really add up when you're talking about hundreds of thousands of people.

This is the first time I have made a donation to a campaign and I donated more to day with a pledge to match another donor as well. As a part of GEN X the generation without a cause and a single mother of 4 it moves me to be able to take part in what could very well be a moment, long over due but right on time, in history.<br/><br/>I hope he does well tonight and with so much news breaking today he needs only fear himself. <br/><br/>If anything pained me during this run is not seeing more young, black men out supporting him. All these rappers/actors with som much influence and egos to match very few have even rallied their bases to get involved. I never see many black men voting when I go and vote (sadly).<br/><br/>I voted in the primary here in Miami and although we lost (we were expected to) and no delegates were gained, I am surprised more was not made of the fact that the margin although large was not as large as many anticipated it would have been and with the momentum he seemed to have gained with people who actually cast a vote that day (as opposed to absentee ballots) I can only imagine what we are capable of comet he general election shouls he win the nomination.

Rikyrah,
Wazzup you just left my Blog HANGING and totally dissed me (sarcasm). You encourage me to get back to the Blog and then you leave me hanging? I guess you don’t like my decision to add some audio and video for the sake of creativity…(I miss your comments)

I’ve got some recent comments from posts that I know only you have the skill to chop apart.. don’t leave a fellow blogger in need now.

Peace..

But I assume they want to get the message out how energized their people are.
