7/30/2019 Campaign Donation Link in Obama Email About Sandy Hook

COMMENT
You may think that after winning the election, the
Obama team should be done raising money for its
campaign fund. But Sandy Hook apparently presents acrisis too good to go to waste, so with a new email from
David Axelrod, team Obama is using the President's remarks
about the Sandy Hook massacre to raise more money.
The new campaign email carrying the approval of Obama campaign chief David Axelrod
urges campaign supporters to watch Obama's address made at Newton, Connecticut and
also features a "donate now" button.
"The next chapter begins today. Stand with President Obama for the next four years," the
email is headlined.
Axelrod doesn't urge donations in the text of the email, but the "donate now" buttons are
both in the email and at the MyBarackObama.com (http://www.barackobama.com/news/entry/president-obama-in-newtown-connecticut) page where team Obama is
hosting the video of the speech.
Says Jeryl Bier (http://speakwithauthority-jsm.blogspot.com/2012/12/never-
let-crisis.html):
Not one, but two buttons -- two opportunities to donate to the Obama campaign. Not
to the Red Cross, or to a memorial fund for the children and adults killed in Newtown.
How hard would it have been to shift the focus, disable the buttons, for just one email,
just one blog post? But the show must go on.
The fact that any donate now button appears on any messages about the tragedy at Sandy
Hook elementary is quite crass, indeed.

Why does obama even still HAVE a donation page? Didn't he get the memo that he was " reelected"?

Leave it to the Crime Syndicate formerly known as the Democratic Party to raise money by dancing in the blood
of little children. The depravity of President Caligula and his henchmen is limitless.

I'll give the web page a pass... it looks l ike the "donate" buttons there are part of the standard page frame
layout, and not part of what was put up to celebrate his speech.
The email, of course, is another matter.
By the way, your link to the Obama campaign site doesn't work... it should point to "Newtown", not "Newton".
