Can we borrow the Obama fundraising model?( Sell branded merchandise, $5 donations, Believe signs everywhere)?

So, Obama has won election in the USA, people are more happy (maybe not only part of people in USA) - they want to pay for that ;)

they can't pay to Obama and find other ways to pay for this (their) victory. If you are happy you are able to give more.

Maybe :)

In 2007 after 2 weeks banner has been changed.
