A recent email from the Barack Obama campaign shared some extraordinary news.
We’re already more than 900,000 strong, including over half-a-million donating so far this year. This unprecedented foundation of support has built a campaign that has shaken the status quo and proven that ordinary people can compete in a political process too often dominated by special interests.
Unlike Senator Clinton or Senator McCain, we haven’t taken a dime from Washington lobbyists or special interest PACs. Our campaign is responsible to no one but the people.
Not a dime in lobbyist or PAC funds? Close to one million individual donors?
This is an exciting election. Voter turnout keeps surprising election officials. Youth turnout keeps surprising everyone. Have you noticed? Did you notice that when Obama wins it’s by 60/40 margins, or in some cases he garners three or four votes to Hillary’s one. That’s extraordinary. Hillary keeps rising to the challenge and pushing on, making the primary season more energetic.
Campaign finance reform has been a topic for years. It was a topic for debaters when I was in high school – over 30 years ago. A million individual donors, no PAC money, no lobbyist money, that is reform. That is change.
Why don’t you be a part of it?
