They both are from Illinois (birthplaces actually in KY-Lincoln and HI-Obama, a little latitude is needed haha). So I propose that on February 12th (Lincoln's Birthday) we have a money bomb extravaganza of small donations of $5.01 for Senator Obama. The reasons for this amount are easy to see:

1. Small donations are powering Obama's campaign

2. Lincoln is on the $5 bill and the penny

3. .01 is also for us online progressives making a statement to the campaign that we are here and we've got money. That we aren't the huge bundlers for campaigns. We sacrifice parts of paychecks that mean more proportionally to those of us with smaller incomes. We buy into Barack Obama because we do dream of a more hopeful future instead of cynicsm. I would much rather be called a Hopemonger than a Warmonger. So if you believe in the hope that small donors are powering the Obama campaign, please join me in showing that when Americans united with Hope can wield large influence with small donations!
