Right now, thousands of ordinary Americans are working together to bring about change and end the era of big money dominating our politics. While McCain is teaming up with Bush to raise millions from a handful of donors behind closed doors, our grassroots supporters are stepping up and making commitments to one another to contribute to this campaign.

People all across America have pledged to match your donations and double your impact on the campaign. Here’s what some of you are saying to those who matched your contributions.

Michelle in Indiana… 

This is the first ever political donation I have ever made. I really believe in Barack Obama and I thank you for matching my donation. We can do it and put our country on track. I actually feel for the first time that my small amount of money actually means something!

Geoff in Texas…

Penny, thank you so much for matching my contribution.  I would have liked to contribute more, but I can’t. It makes me so happy to know that there are people like you who will match my donation… God bless you. Thank you.

Roseann from Pennsylvania…

I agree with all of your thoughts on Obama… I remember JFK and I can tell you too I remember how it felt to be proud of our leader… I want the next generation to feel that as well. [I'm a] 52 year old white female from PA, high school education, voting, and supporting Obama.

Lynn in Florida…

Jason! Thanks for matching my measly contribution. I NEVER make political contributions, but this country is in such bad shape I now feel compelled to get involved beyond my vote. Your promise to match made it an even easier decision. Sorry I couldn’t have given more. Thanks again! Let’s show McCain that the Big Money can’t match the power of the people. Ba-rock on!

Join Michelle, Geoff, Roseann, and Lynn and build this movement. With a little over five months till the election in November, we need as much grassroots support as possible to overcome the McCain-Bush big money fundraising machine. We can do this together - make a match today…
