I've donated $30 to the Obama campaign in the form of a t-shirt.

Fuck no, not even for an instant would I consider passing over some of my hard earned cash to facilitate being further harassed with phone calls, TV ads and more political bullshit newsletters then my mail box can hold. The amount of money being pissed away in this campaign is sickening. If I really felt like it, I WOULD volunteer spare time, but Obama has always been a near sure win, and is now a certain win in PA so that would just be a pointless waste too. Increasing Obamas popular vote majority in the state is not a meaningful goal.

However, since i'm not (shrugs).
Write letters to American newspapers. I know the Chicago Tribune publishes 10-20 letters per day, so a good letter could have a chance. If not a major one, start looking for smaller, more local ones. Write about your perspective on america as a foreigner and how each candidate would impact it.

Tonight I did the condom thing I mentioned. Got some really hostile responses from a few until they noticed the "Veterans for Obama" button on my coat.

Also a lot of kids claiming they needed magnums. I doubt it.
