Obama tells donors that McCain has head start
Barack Obama is putting the hard sell on his army of online donors, declaring that he will be the first presidential candidate in a generation to deploy staff in all 50 states and warning that Republican John McCain has a three-month head start because he clinched his nomination in March.
In a message today to supporters, Steve Hildebrand, Obama's deputy campaign manager, set a goal of 30,000 new donors and asked for $25 that would be matched by a previous donor.
Hildebrand also noted that the Republican National Committee is vastly outraising its Democratic counterpart and that Democrats are hamstrung by not taking money from Washington lobbyists
"Every day counts -- voters head to the polls in less than five months," Hildebrand urges. "This is your opportunity to shape the election by helping to launch our unprecedented 50-state campaign now."
He then asks again for $25.
"Thanks to your support, Barack Obama is now the presumptive Democratic nominee," Hildebrand concludes the solicitation. "But he cannot determine the outcome of this election on his own. It will all come down to what you are willing to do. It's time to answer the call."

They are smarter than you realize. I have yet to see a reporter notice that they ask for an amount of money based on WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN IN THE PAST. If you haven't given, or haven't given much, it's a request for $25 (or maybe less). If you've given $50, they ask for $50. Or $100. Or $250. They are quite targeted.
Most presidential issues dwarf in contrast to the expenditure of illegal immigration? You wouldn't think so, when you listen to the complicity of the pro-illegal immigrant organism. The amount of money that taxpayers are expected to pay, for the hires of parasite businesses is just astronomical. If our government was just extending a helping hand, to our own legal population, who in their time of need could rely on the welfare safety-net. Obama, a straight talker said he would sign an AMNESTY bill, that came across his desk. McCain, a globalist is sure to promote the same agenda, if for a different reason from the other party. His plan of the open border, free market elites, whose party-plan is the free movement of cheap labor to flood the North American Continent. Hillary from her comments was completely in agreement with Senator Obama, so obviously the little difference between all three?
However the welfare state has become a cash-cow for anybody who manages to slip past the border patrol, ignore their visa overstay or even leave a ocean going vessel without permission. Without papers they are illegal and should be deported. Today! More than ever, we need the pending Federal SAVE ACT(H.R.4088) because a new AMNESTY will be signed into law, with the next president. Then millions more will come and nothing on earth will stop the new deluge of poor. Details at NUMBERSUSA. Tell you Democratic representative to co-author this bill.
