Private donors
Only the ones she made to her campaign donors.
Democratic campaign headquarters were housed in the Watergate. I think CREP was interested in names of donors and prospective donors, as well as anything else they might find.
Obama believes taxes are GOOD, & the more, the better. More to spend lavishly by crony capitalism with his donors & bundlers. Like Solyndra & Barry Rand, CEO of AARP, whom Obama helped get his job.
In the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton's campaign raised approximately $1.4 billion. This total included contributions from a wide range of donors, including individuals, political action committees, and party organizations. Clinton's fundraising efforts were notable for their focus on small donors, alongside significant support from larger contributions.
Private sources of campaign finance include any group who is not affiliated with a branch or agency of the government itself. This includes diverse actors such as individuals, corporations, non-profit organisations, lobbying groups, and others.
Senior Democrats said that Mr Obama will announce his candidacy in a text or email message with a video announcing his intention to seek a second term.At the same time, his campaign team will file papers with the Federal Election Commission. The exact timing depends on spending negotiations on Capitol Hill that have to be resolved this week to prevent a government shutdown.Mr Obama is making his announcement earlier than is typical for a sitting president so he can get ahead in the race to raise money for a campaign that is likely to shatter all records Although he emphasised small donors in his 2008 campaign, this time around he is asking campaign "bundlers" to raise $350,000 (£217,000) each by leaning on friends and colleagues. Campaign finance laws limit gifts to $2,500 per donor.Mr Obama's campaign team wants the bundlers will raise $500 million (£310 million), leaving the campaign to raise another $500 million from smaller donors to build up a $1 billion war chest. During his 2008 election campaign, Mr Obama managed to raise $750 million.The president is due to hold his first re-election fund-raiser in Chicago on April 14 and has already telephoned top donors to enlist their support. Joe Biden, the vice-president, is to meet key supporters in New Hampshire on Monday, where the first primary will be held.
The biggest donors to PBS include major foundations such as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which provides federal funding, and private organizations like the Ford Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trusts. Additionally, individual philanthropists and corporate sponsors also contribute significantly to PBS funding. Overall, these donations support a wide range of programming and initiatives across the network.
While the exact number has not been released to the media, we do know that President and Mrs. Obama sent out a large number of holiday greeting cards to personal friends, supporters (including those who volunteered on the campaign), donors, important members of the Democratic party, and members of the press who cover the White House. It should be noted that taxpayer dollars do not get spent on White House Christmas cards: they are generally paid for by whichever political party is in power.
One of the major advantages that incumbents have in raising campaign money is their established network of donors and supporters, which often includes large contributors and political action committees. Their previous experience in office can also enhance their visibility and credibility, making them more appealing to potential donors. Additionally, incumbents typically have access to government resources and events that can help them fundraise more effectively than challengers. This combination of recognition, relationships, and resources gives incumbents a significant edge in securing campaign funds.
