== How to donate ==

One of the cool things about Barack Obama's fundraising system is that anyone can set up his or her own fundraising page, in order to raise money from friends and family. To do this, sign up for a My Barack Obama account here and follow the easy instructions.
== Notes about Donations ==
Because Barack Obama is committed to changing the way things work in Washington, the Obama campaign does not accept donations from PACs or federal lobbyists. If you're a federal lobbyist, your money will be sent back.
By law, the name and employer of anyone who donates over $200 to the campaign are published by the campaign. This information is collected in a searchable database by Open Secrets.
You can donate up to $4600 total to the Obama campaign - $2300 for the primary election (which lasts until he officially accepts the nomination on August 28, 2008) and $2300 for the general election.
