Fox News has reported that donations from regions with high unemployment numbers have been directed towards the Obama campaign, although in smaller amounts.
According to an Associated Press analysis, Obama's fundraising in the second and third quarters of this year from areas with typically high unemployment are up from this time over the 2007 fundraising cycles, when candidate Barack Obama raised $81 million between April 1 and Sept. 30 as the country was barreling into a recession.Our elected representatives need to make laws preventing the Democrat party from funneling tax payer money in the form of welfare to the president.
While Obama reported this week his campaign and the Democratic Party raised a combined $70 million for his re-election bid this quarter -- more than the $21 million raised by Obama's campaign in the third quarter of 2007 -- similar fundraising totals for the GOP field point to growing support for candidates promising to change the country's direction.
