Gary, a staffing coordinator at a hospital in Southern California, just made his first contribution to this campaign. Even though Gary is feeling the squeeze of escalating gas prices and a mortgage to pay, he decided to contribute now because he felt we need someone in the White House who cares about, and can inspire, our country like Barack. 

Born in Paris, raised in Ireland and living his adult life here in the United States, this was his time to stand up and, moving forward, he has pledged to donate $25 per week. 

Gary’s enthusiasm is even rubbing off on some his Republican friends, one of which is a Bush supporter. As their conversations about this primary season and the problems facing our country have progressed, his friend has been listening closely.

Obama has the ability to make people talk again.  I’m not a Democrat or a Republican, I’m an American…I’m sick of the bickering.

This movement is about rallying around a common purpose.  For Gary, this isn’t just about changing our country but it’s about restoring America’s standing on the world stage.  His family in Ireland is even pulling for Barack too!

Our coalition is built on the support of millions of voices just like Gary’s.  Make your voice heard, join our movement and contribute today. 

The May fundraising deadline is tonight, at 11:59 EDT - just minutes away . . .
