Capital of Hawaii -- Sen. Barack Obama's campaign told that while it is
on track to raise a record $fifty million this calendar month, it
received money by its millionth donor online from a Kaimuki resident.
Zachary Ellison acquired his wish and then some. The Kaimuki university
student desired to be among the 1st a million people to donate to
Obama's campaign. It turned out he was the millionth donor online.
"I believe it is actually significant to get involved. It is
significant to take an alive role in politics," Ellison said.
Ellison had been following the campaign for months and had planned on
donating, but just never got around to it.
"I am among those eldritch people who enjoys politics, and and so I
just arrange it away and then it was payday and I saw the ticker and I
told, 'You know, I am going to donate. I prefer to state I was part of
this,'" he told.
Ellison attended a political rally at Kapiolani green, wherever Obama's
sis addressed. He had been active agent in the antiauthoritarian
presidential election 4 yrs ago.
Although the 21-year-old history major owes $ninety, in college loans,
he sent in $25 to the Obama campaign.
"I saw how much so many other people were doing and I told, 'I better
do my little part as all individual human counts in this election.' It
has not all about big donors or people making 1000s and 1000s of
calls, just talking to your family and acquiring it to vote is a vast
matter," Ellison told. "Not plenty people vote in this nation and I
think it has to change."
Ellison came back to Hawaii, acquiring classes at Kapiolani Community
College this semester, working on clock time* Supermarket
He program to go back to finish at Reed College in Oregon. s'
