Fundraising

We're building this campaign from the ground up, and the Obama 2012 app has all the tools you need to join the fight to move the country forward. Now available on iOS devices with the Android version coming soon.

 Hey everybody. I'm Jim Messina, the President's campaign manager. I wanted to give you a quick update on what we've been up to this month, and what that's going to mean between now and November.

We had 169,500 first-time donors in April—putting us within reach of 2 million donors this election cycle. And here's my favorite part: our average donation was $50.23, with 98 percent of those donations $250 or less. That makes our campaign different, and it's how we're going to build a winning organization across the country.

We would like to assemble a basket of good election year books for our silent auction. You can help by purchasing and donating a book such as Hillary's Living History, Obama's Audacity of Hope or any other titles that you might recommend to readers. Please email Geri Wells at gjwells@windstream.net to let me know if you will be donating a book.
