This is so fantastic.

Markos, you wrote last week that you were withholding $2,300 from the Obama campaign, claiming that your individual donation didn’t matter….Thus, when I see someone so influential as Markos suggest that his personal maxim is to withhold donations, I grow concerned.  Clearly Markos does not want all of us to stop donating, as he expects us to do it all for him. I guess we do matter in the grand scheme of things after all, even if he doesn’t.

…We all have to do all we can to make that happen this time. If anyone’s got $2,300 they can so easily part with, well… I’ve got a pretty good idea what they can do with it.

Update, 12:20 p.m. CST: So far I’ve counted $1,068 in donations as stated in the comments. Now that’s people power. Keep it going!

Update, 12:41 p.m. CST: Make that $2,460. Talk about a people-power-hour! But I’m sure you’re not going to stop now, are you?

Update, 1:13 p.m. CST: Now I’ve got $3,677 total on my spreadsheet tally. That’s fantastic! Thanks for your generosity, and your willingness to prove that our individual actions add up. Don’t stop!

Update, 1:28 p.m. CST: Jeepers. I did one last swing through the comments, and we’re up to $4,708. That’s phenomenal. I’m a big believer in people power, but y’all still manage to amaze me. Stay on it!

Yup.  Kos doesn’t matter. Not one bit.

UPDATE - Confirmation that Kos saying he won’t give you money triples what he’d give you.  Redhorse in comments says it’s $7,200 at 5pm.
