Bringing People Together ... To Give Me Money
Barack Obama's campaign has launched a new financial intiative, getting individual contributors to give money and have their donation matched by another supporter who agreed to match that amount.
"This isn't an anonymous donor program backed by big checks from Washington lobbyists or corporate fat cats," Obama campaign mgr David Plouffe writes in his email. "This is a one-to-one, supporter-to-supporter effort. If you make a donation, you'll be matched up with a real person -- another supporter who has put their faith in you. And you'll be able to read a note from them and send a response."

Just another way the Obama campaign is a pale imitation of those who paved the way.
The DNC did this in Election 2006.

If I recall correctly, the DNC ran a similar fundraising push in '05 or '06.
