This past Tuesday, President Obama made an appearance in Charm City to attend three fundraising events to fuel his presidential re-election campaign. Among the distinguished attendees at these functions were Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Governor Martin O’Malley and Senator Barbara A. Mikulski. The trio of events was expected to bring in more than $1.5 million. According to an article in the Baltimore Sun, Maryland is ranked 11th in the nation for political contributions to presidential candidates in this election.
The Obama campaign has harnessed the power of telecommunications by allowing voters to register on their touch-screen phones and by collecting campaign donations through text messaging. Although soliciting via text message has been widely used in election campaigns, the technology behind the fund collecting process was a first for a presidential campaign. Donors were asked to type a “25” or “10″ into their phone and that dollar amount was immediately drawn from their credit card numbers already on file from previous donations.
