The Biggest on Planet Earth?

The figures are in!

The private organizer of Friday's Debate Watch Party reports 285 paid admissions to the event! After only 8% overhead (some of that went to buy drinks for you!), your contributions at the door amount to more than $2600.00 pesos directly to the Campaign to Elect Barack Obama as the Next President of the United States.

(No figures as of yet from all of the T-shirts and buttons and stickers and books you that you purchased ...but I'll be back with you as soon as we get contribution numbers from those private vendors!)

Counting press and people we missed (and no admission was charged before 8pm or after about a half an hour into the debate) we well exceeded 300 people! Quite possibly the Biggest Debate Watch Party on Planet Earth! The Obama campaign privately informs me that there is only one other debate watch party that could come close.

Democrats Abroad Argentina has broken record after record this year because of the tremendous efforts of all its members and volunteers.

YOU did it ...and we hope to proudly display the FEC filing statement for the contribution as soon as possible.

We love you madly.

In gratitude to all of you that showed up Friday... the Sarah Palin - Joe Biden debates will be free and open to the public! Come on down to Sacramento Resto Bar this Thursday from 8pm to whenevah! It should be some great fun ...and you should congratulate yourselves.

And while you're at it, send some congratulations to everybody who organized and volunteered for the big event. See you Thursday for the FUN one!
