Truth be told, I don't care whether it's legal or not. The way it's set up, it will be an administrative nightmare for his campaign if he is honest with it. (Yea, I know...big IF.) Think about it. If you were about to give $1000 to his campaign, it now pays you to make that contribution as 200 smaller $5 donations, each one of which must be recorded somewhere, complete with name, address, etc. My guess is that the overhead of something like this for computing power and the people to enter the data will eat up about a third of the contributions. Get idea, Obama...sorta like a lot of your other proposals.

Frankly, I think if you send $5 to a campaign, you pretty much cost them money. They will put you on a mailing list, and send you stuff every month, they have to track your name, report it to the government. If you pay by check, they have to process the check, if by credit card they have to pay the card company.

It might be worth it to have a publicly proclaimed REPUBLICAN movement to give $5 to Obama, so we can have republicans sitting with him before his speech.

That way, when he announces how many more people are giving to his campaign, we can say it was because republicans were messing with him.
