I see messages all over the place indicating that people are still waiting to make their donations... This is a huge mistake!
For starters, there have been reports all afternoon that the donation site is hammered, and it may take multiple attempts to make your donation.
That said, if all of the normal supporters jam up the site during the late evening push, it may prevent a new donor being able to make a contribution in time to meet the deadline.
Plus, rampant donations create a positive feedback loop, and increase the likelihood that news stories will get out prior to midnight, and that people who were not planning to donate might be encouraged to do so.
Pony up people... We have no shot at $10M today if we don't get close enough that people start to believe we can make it!
