through her website, which gives me a sense of urgency. Not her announcment (bring it on!) but her website. It's VERY sophisticated compared to barackobama.com.

If you haven't already, please go to barackobama.com and sign up. I've been signed up for quite a long time, but today is the first day I tried forward info to friends. I had to go to an e-mail from the site ("Escalation is not the answer") and forward that to friends, it adds a signature to click the link to the site. It is not easy to forward info from the site. If any of you find an easier way, please let me know.

So I joined the HC site to stay informed, and immediately received an email with my own personal fundraising link "your hillraisers link" from which I can track all contributions made through that link (yikes!). Of course, I immediately went to barack's site and contributed, my first ever monetary policital contribution! I have a strong suspicion $ is the reason our site is still so basic.

Please tell all your friends. I've already sent feedback to our site. Hopefully we'll have more tools through barackobama.com soon.
