Obama Small Donor Fundraising on Track

DiAnne — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 01:33:05 +0000

Despite naysayers who claim there is less enthusiasm than in 2008, fundraising is impressive. Nearly $750 million was raised in 2008, and right now there are over 300,000 small contributors, compared with 180,000 at this time in 2008.

Large donors are also chipping in (see link below.) It helps that there is no primary and that Obama is an incumbent, but what really counts now is outraising and outrunning the GOP.

Obama: It Is Time to Focus on Nation Building at Home

OBAMA: Above all, we are a nation whose strength abroad has been anchored in opportunity for our citizens at home. Over the last decade, we have spent a trillion dollars on war, at a time of rising debt and hard economic times. Now, we must invest in America’s greatest resource – our people. We must unleash innovation that creates new jobs and industry, while living within our means. We must rebuild our infrastructure and find new and clean sources of energy. And most of all, after a decade of passionate debate, we must recapture the common purpose that we shared at the beginning of this time of war. For our nation draws strength from our differences, and when our union is strong no hill is too steep and no horizon is beyond our reach.

America, it is time to focus on nation building here at home.
