The Obama campaign announced that, combined with the DNC, the campaign raised $181 million in September. This is a huge increase over July and August, when the campaign raised around $100 million, although it is less than the $193 million it raised in September 2008.
The campaign said that just over 1.8 million people made donations to the campaign last month. According to the campaign, over 500k of these were brand-new donors, having neither given in 2008 nor 2012. 98% of contributions were under the reporting threshold of $250. Of these, the average contribution was $53.
35k people gave an average of $2,600, while just over 1.7 million people gave an average of $53. Half the campaign's haul came from people giving around the maximum amount and half from people who don't have to be disclosed.
Contributions under $200 don't have to be disclosed, but the campaign still has to keep track of the donor's name, in case subsequent donations push their contribution over the reporting threshold. For contributions under $50, however, the campaign doesn't even have to keep track of the donor's name.
Therefore you could make 10 $49 donations to Obama, and never even be reported!
just use one of those prepaid credit cards and its untraceable
The Obama campaign has disabled the credit card verification system, and anti-fraud security for online credit card donations, so pick any name and address you like!
But if your ordering some Obama swag from their online store, beware, anti-fraud verification is enabled.
