It was announced today that President Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize and that he is indeed, “the man”. Poster design created by Jimm Lasser who also contributed t-shirt designs for our Barack On! Obamathon fundraiser last year.

Thanks to the man in Portland, Max at Viewers Like You.

With so many people ready and willing for change in the White House, it comes as no surprise that fundraisers for the Obama/Biden campaign have reached record amounts both in dollars and in number of donors. But what is surprising is just how much the people have donated. With a staggering $186 million raised since Septmeber alone, the Obama/Biden ticket has now topped the $600 million mark. I’m both pleased and proud to say that on Friday, October 17th the Barack On! Obamathon I organized with Jon Barlow (producer of Beautiful Losers) and Jonathan Sample (Fresh Pressed) added to that record total by raising $6000 in only 5 hours! With pro-Obama designs contributed by local arists and designers for silk-screening of shirts and posters, bakers feeding those hungry for change with a sidewalk bake sale, and people of all ages coming out to support our effort with positivity and enthusiasm, what started out as a modest fundraiser quickly turned into a mini block party. The “fun” in fundraiser was definitely on display as we Baracked the night away!

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make a difference! Special thanks to all our friends who contributed their time to dj, take photos, participate in the bake sale, tend the bar, help usher in the long lines, and work behind the counter! Extra extra special thanks to Max Erdenberger, Jimm Lasser, Jessica Louise, Amy Martin, Megan McGinley, Lenny Mesina, Jonathan Sample, and Nick Toga, for their artistic contributions and getting their design on in such a hurry!
