Senator Barack Obama raised a record breaking $66 million dollars in August. Wow! Most individuals in this country are worried about the one dollar jump in gas prices and here is a man who raised $66 million dollars in one month.
The Associated Press stated in their article, “Obama camp says it raised $66 million in August,”
WASHINGTON – Sen. Barack Obama‘s presidential campaign announced Sunday that it raised $66 million in August, marking another record fundraising month for the Democrat. The August total was second to the $55 million Obama raised last February.
He reached the $66 million mark with help from more than a half million new donors…Obama’s campaign said that with the latest figures he had more than $77 million cash on hand.”
Now stop and think about the opportunity that you and I both have in this same country.
“Yeah, but I am not running for President,” you may reply but think about the principle. He is doing something for a cause and because of that people are getting behind him and supporting him.
Think about your business. Are you supporting a cause that would excite people to rally behind your business, and spend money there as opposed to your competition? The Cone Report, which documents business that are in connection with a cause, shows that organizations that are attached to a cause experience greater success. If a half a million new supporters, just helped one man raise $66 million dollars in one month, what could your business attached to one strong cause do for your company?
