Donating

Posted February 13th, 2008 in FAQ | Permanent Link

I am a foreigner!

  1. Can I donate to Obama’s campaign?
    Emphatically no. It is illegal to donate if you are not a U. S. citizen. Please do not donate, and please do not ask a U. S. citizen to take money and donate it for you. IT IS VERY ILLEGAL
  2. Can I buy from Obama’s store?
    No, that counts as a donation. If you want Obama gear, there’s lots of it on CafePress and all of it perfectly legal for you to buy.
  3. Well then, can I make an avatar and buy it for someone in exchange for them donating?
    No, you cannot. Please do not do this, it is very shady.
  4. Can I make avatars just for fun?
    Yes, you may.
  5. What else can I do?
    You could buy Obama’s books, Dreams from my Father and The Audacity of Hope, but if you really want to give money to someone, please choose a charity (use Charity Navigator to find a good one) and donate money or time to it. The true spirit of this campaign is not just to help Barack get elected, but to help ourselves and each other.

I work for a government contractor? Can I still donate?

  • Yes you can. You are not a government contractor, your employer is.

    • Why are so many people donating $xx.01?

  • In one of Barack’s speeches, he told us a story about an elderly woman who sent him a check for $3.01 and a Bible verse. The addition of an extra cent is symbolic: every little bit counts.
