20,000 pledges of $500 -- Do you think it can be done?

[IHaveaDream]

If we could find 20,000 donors who could afford to pledge $500 on December 16, we would GUARANTEE our goal of $10,000,000 in a single day and probably garner more media attention than we can possibly imagine. Now, I'm a simple guy on a simple budget. I honestly doubt that I could stand that much pain at one time. But we may have enough warriors in this army who could. We would only have one week from today to get 20,000 solid commitments of $500. Does this grassroots campaign have that kind of muscle? Do you think this is doable?

no, it can't

most people are not middle income, that's what that price indicates

whatever you got, give it, that's the philosophy of the 16th

even if all in for you is $20 or $2300, go all in on the 16th

As of Q3, Obama's average donation was $1,275 based upon money raised/donors.

That's what happens when you take money from lobbyists, that's also why his fundraising is in the decline like all the mainstream candidates

I agree with this. What other chance will we have?


If you are thinking about giving $100 but can afford $200, give the $200! We might never get this chance again.
