Monica Helms has now blogged, but if you need even more motivation, riftgirl has promised to have sex with her “friend” Les if we make the goal of 200 donors, and will post the video of them having sex on October 12th if we do!
Really!
Trans for Obama – 5:30 Update
Trans for Obama: More More More
Oh, now we’re really speeding up:
Annie Rushden – woohoo! another partner! – joins us, as does Jillian Todd Weiss.
Trans for Obama: riftgirl Does Obama
I’m trying really hard not to have a crush on riftgirl, but as Betty would tell anyone: I’m a sucker for the ones who make me laugh, & laugh hard. She’s gone & posted for Obama now, too, and don’t forget to check out her mean Sarah Palin.
Trans for Obama: Lena + Votes
& A new blog post from Lena Dahlstrom, our very own straight DQ and fashionista.
We’re at 142 people and $9020! Let’s reach 200, folks – keep it going.
The donations are good but it’s the votes that count – and every donation, no matter how small, counts as a vote! Stand up & be counted, trans democrats!
(We’re really need Obama in office if this bailout measure doesn’t pass, which it looks like it won’t.)
Trans for Obama: + Andrea James!
The queen of MTF voice work has blogged for Trans for Obama Day now, too.
The cool thing is that we’ve already raised $780, which has been donated by 23 people.
Let me know if you see that anyone else has blogged by leaving a comment, or feel free to gloat if you donate!
Trans for Obama: TGB
I’ve also put up a mirror post at Trans Group Blog, which is a group blog about trans issues I started a while back and which features writers from all points of the trans spectrum.
Trans for Obama: Add Kate
And Kate Bornstein has blogged for Trans for Obama Day, in her usual eloquent way.
Trans for Obama: Caprice’s Post
Caprice, who is one of the people who set up the campaign with the National Stonewall Democrats, has posted about Trans for Obama Day as well, adding her arguments about why McCain / Palin would be a disaster for LGBT people and why Obama needs all the small donors he can get.
So I’d like to take this moment to thank Caprice, who does more for the LGBT community than just about anyone I know, by being on boards and contacting politicians, taking regular trips to Albany for NYS concerns, and by working with the Name Change Project at the Center.
Trans for Obama Day
The National Stonewall Democrats have a page for trans people + allies to donate to Barack Obama’s campaign, which is a damned cool idea. Before this campaign started, over 105 people donated $5400, which is damned cool too. But if we really want to make ourselves visible – even in a small way – we should try to get that number – and the amount of participants – higher. So if you’re trans, or a trans ally, & support Barack Obama financially, do consider donating to his campaign through the site.
& Then tell two friends, so they tell two friends… by the end of the day we can easily surpass a couple of people on ActBlue’s list of top online donors. Post the info on your personal blog – on Yahoo 360, or LJ, or Facebook, or to a community message boards you post on.
I’ve started a Trans for Obama event on Facebook, too.
