Ithink it’s the last day for primary donations, I believe you can start anew once his nomination is certified.

According to an email I received from the GOP

You may already know that I have decided to accept federal matching funds for the final months of this campaign- keeping a campaign promise I made. But that means that August 31st marks the last day I can accept your primary contribution.

I don’t know, so I donated today.

I’ve been throwing out all requests for money from McCain and the RNC, awaiting this pick. His choice for VP made me donate AND order some bumper stickers and yard signs.

My target is the liberal Hillary! voter down the street who is now flumoxed that her girl is out.

I donated as soon as he picked Palin. First donation.

It would be quite the news story if McCain reported a HUGE uptick in donations after her selection.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have spent most of the morning trying to complete a contribution on the www.johnmccain.com website and kept getting a message that there was no www in the address!

I called their headquarters—17 rings—left a message asking for the site and also sent an e-mail!

The maximum contribution is $2300 per person and $4600 per couple. I’m almost sorry we sent them our stimulus checks earlier!

A freeper on another thread said to enter Sarah Palin in “Referred by”. I entered Sarah Palin!!!! Hope they can’t count all the money in one day that her selection will bring!!

The pundits—even Karl Rove—are all saying we need to wait 5 or 6 days to see how this goes.

Hey gys, I have big news for all of you... :)

Contributions to John McCain 2008 and the John McCain 2008 General Election Compliance Fund are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income-tax purposes. In accordance with federal limits, a contribution is designated first for John McCain 2008, with the contribution’s balance designated for the Compliance Fund. For contributions to John McCain 2008 (primary-election account), an individual may give up to $2,300, a couple may give up to $4,600, and a federal multi-candidate PAC may give up to $5,000. For contributions to the Compliance Fund, an individual may give up to $2,300, a couple may give up to $4,600, and a federal multi-candidate PAC may give up to $5,000. Contributions to the Compliance Fund will be used solely for legal and accounting services to ensure compliance with federal law, including a portion of the cost of broadcast advertising, campaign offices, and computer/website expenses. Federal law prohibits Compliance Fund contributions from being used for a candidate’s election. Contributions from corporations, unions, government contractors, national banks, and foreign nationals without permanent residency status are prohibited. *Federal law requires us to report the name, address, occupation, and employer of any contributor who gives more than $200 in an election cycle.

There's another thread where Politico (I think) is reporting that McCain/Palin raised 4 1/2 million bucks yesterday!

I just love it when children so young “get it” about Obama, especially when so many adults are taken in by the empty mantras of “hope” & “change”. A couple weeks ago I was in Costco in the book section. There was a dad with two children, about 5 & 7 years old. The kids saw the books about Obama (both pro & con) and immediately started loudly proclaiming the truth about Obama so clearly that I was astounded. Their dad was sheepishly looking around, expecting the Obama supporters to come around and attack them. But nothing happened. Anyway, those children warmed my heart!

Another reason to donate! She visits troops in Germany and doesn't need a horde of cameras to come along!
