Campaign officials announced the new program early yesterday morning, allowing supporters to be able to send contributions of under $50 by simply texting \u201cGIVE\u201d to 62262; numbers that correspond with the letters in the name \u2018Obama\u2019.  Officials say that the service should be available almost immediately for the likes of Sprint, US Cellular, Verizon and T-Mobile customers, with AT&T and other carriers set to follow suit \u201cin the near future\u201d.<\/p>\n

Other possibilities include soliciting text donations in internet and broadcast adverts, as well as during major political events including the forthcoming Democratic Party convention, which is taking place in Charlotte in North Carolina.  \u201cAccepting small donations by text message will help us engage even more grassroots supporters who want to play a role by donating whatever they can afford to the campaign,\u201d says campaign manager Jim Messina.<\/p>\n

The move toward text messaging donations apes a fundraising tactic that has long been made use of by the American Red Cross and a number of other charities, following decisions made by the Federal Election Commission to allow the practice under certain protocols that adhere to campaign laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
