The deadline for the first financial quarter of 2008 is 11:59 eastern daylight time tonight — just an hour away. If you donate before midnight tonight, your donation will be part of our March financial report to the FEC. This will be the final report before the next series of primaries, and the results will be seen as a key measure of the strength of our campaign.
We've heard from thousands of supporters today who have not only donated, but have who have also been motivated to take action in their own communities to work for change.
Carol from California:
As an adult, I have never contributed to a political campaign because I have never believed in a politician. This is the first time I have worked on a political campaign in earnest. This is the first time I have believed in a politician as an honest person. It is my belief that Barack Obama has the power to inspire people and, therefore, our country to do great things.
Candy from Florida:
I'm 51 yrs old, have always voted Republican until now… We don't need someone that thinks they have all the answers, we need someone that can build bridges with people and provide an atmosphere to work together to solve the great issues of our country. This country and our political process needs change and a leader that brings people together rather than alienates them… I am certain that Obama is the person to lead this change.
Amy from Oregon:
I have been so discouraged by the political scene of the past 10 years or so that I have done nothing but vote. Now, I feel that "Fierce urgency of now". I realize that Barack Obama gives us an opportunity to truly change how we do things in this country. I feel compelled to leave the shelter of home to go out and work for change. I have been phonebanking from home, writing postcards to women in Pennsylvania, tabling and registering voters on the Oregon State University campus, and working with the new Corvallis for Obama group.
When we started this campaign over a year ago, the pundits and the political insiders didn't think it was possible to mobilize ordinary people to reject conventional thinking and fight for real change. Tonight, we have a chance to prove them wrong.
Help us finish this quarter strong:
