  I'm 28 years old and this is the first time I've contributed, besides voting, to a political campaign. I'm not in allegiance with any party and I've been a non-partisan voter since I began voting 10 years ago. I'm investing my money in my future and that future is being lead by Barack Obama. The truth is, at this point I don't trust anybody else to "guide" me and mine to the next level. The contributions I give are to him, not the democratic party.

  As an outsider (african-european), I find the movement and its organization admirable. A compelling lesson in democracy, and if the adventure become conclusive (Obama president), it will show to the rest of the world why its greatest nation is actually the greatest: its people can err, as it were 'being under the influence' (Cheney/Bush), but its people know also how to take back hold of itself...

  Obama is our next president, and these supporters are there to help him purge the Democratic party of the cowards in Congress who are as much responsible for the crimes and incompetence of the Bush administration as any Republican, He will be endorsing candidates in the 2o10 election, and those candidates will have this same base to build on. Personally I think that HOward Dean will make a great ally in changing the party to suit Obama

  I have never felt as invested in a candidate as I do in Barack Obama. I am low middle-income (white middle-aged female, as long as we're looking at demographics) with college bills but have given $25 to $50 to Obama's campaign about six or seven times since late January. I originally supported John Edwards but switched to Obama when Edwards dropped out. Hillary was never an option because I knew that her big donors had all the pull.
