Question: Fundraising Ideas for a trip to Jamaica with Projects Abroad (orphanage work)?

I’m going to be volunteering at an orphanage in Mandeville, Jamaica next year but I need to start fundraising ASAP. I’m going as an individual with Projects Abroad so other than my close friends and family, I don’t have much help when it comes to fundraising events. I found a Fundraising Website and I thought the silicone bracelets would be a cool thing to sell but I can’t decide what colors to use or what text to have printed on the bracelets. I want to say something about Jamaica but I’m having a hard time coming up with ideas. I would prefer something short and comparable to the “hope for haiti” slogan. I’ve also thought about ordering t-shirts or lanyards but I’m running into the same problem deciding on what to have printed on them. I’ll be able to print more on T-shirts so there’s more creative room. Any other Fundraising Ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Question: Why/how is Barack Obama breaking so many records in his fundraising campaign?

Obama is smashing a lot of records in his fundraising. Does anyone here know how he’s doing this?

Is he using different strategies to raise funds? A different philosophy? I’m assuming there must be something unique in how his campaign is fund-raising. I often hear the campaign saying that their form of fund-raising is based on grass-roots from ordinary donors, and that they don’t take money from lobbyists. I don’t know what that has to do with it. I assumed lobbyists would have more funding-power.

This question is not looking for Obama-bashing or McCain-bashing, or why you think Obama is better or why you think McCain is better. Not looking for political views or any propaganda. Thanks.

Answer: Obama breaking this record tells us that many people want to see him win the presidency. Thinking differently is one reason why so many support him. His approach is truly unique and his ideas lead many to believe in the change that he promotes. Borrowers are servants to their masters and by so the lobbyists with deep pockets will dictate how to run the government. but, who can have a say when the contribution was a few dollars a month from people like you and me. At the touch of his computer button, he has contact with million of his supporters having their phone number, home address and of course e-mail address. Is it not wise to say that his experience as an organizer has paid off?
