Michelle Obama is sending around an e-card to Democratic supporters to sign wishing the President a happy birthday. Once you sign your name and email address though you are taken to a site where you are asked to donate money, with a disclaimer saying that none of this money will go to political candidates.
So who is it going to? Does the President really need private money to spend? Can't he already bill everything to the taxpayers? This whole thing is just kind of weird to me.
Here is the text on the donation page
Thank you for standing alongside us, with the President
Now can you make a donation to help us take on the year ahead?
This movement has done incredible work by contacting Congress to help push stalled legislation forward, by re-engaging supporters in the political process, by giving back with service projects across the country, and by doing so much more. Together, we have made history.
Now we need the resources to make sure we can continue pushing forward for change -- in this year’s elections and beyond.
Please make a donation today, using the form on the right.
