BTW, I'm A Real Person
Edited on Thu Jul-31-08 08:02 PM by AsherHeimermann
Some people here think that I'm not a 14 year old. My name is Asher heimermann from Wisconsin. I'm active in poltiics and government. I did not know that I could not let people know that I have a fundraising goal for Senator Obama's campaign. I'm sorry if I made anyone upset.
Check out this interview if you don't believe me:

12. Warning: here comes the Jewish mother in me
I don't think it's a good idea to post your full name and location on any public website. If my kids did it I would be furious. Please edit to take out this information, there are lunatics everywhere. I'm surprised that you would use your first and last name as a username - it's the first thing I've taught my kids never, ever to do.
End of Jewish mother lecture.

I don't understand how many times I will have to say this but the money goes directly to the campaign.
DU has it's own personal fundraising page:

17. Persistent, aren't you? Hey, how does the Obama campaign feel about you selling stickers?
Don't they usually, uh, GIVE them away?
PS: You want us to believe / trust you? Get in touch with the Mods, present your bona fides to them, let them check you out, and make a recommendation to us.
If the Mods say you're OK, I'll believe it. But not until then.

20. Well...
The campaign has not said anything but they know my fundraising ideas. Again, I'm not making one dollar. All of the money that I raise goes directly to the campaign.

21. And you can provide proof of that, exactly how? I'm done with your game for tonight, because I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow. I would say "I'll see you around," but I'm guessing that I won't.

22. You're too damn honest to be anyone but who you say you are.
The average age here is 97, so when a kid shows up, it's big news, and some won't believe it.
You might turn out to be a very clever junior at M.I.T., but I suspect you're who you say you are. Even if you're not, why would I care? You're apparently supporting Obama, and that's what I care about.

25. that's why I advised him to contact admins and tell them what he is doing ...
... and ask them to tell him what he can and cannot do here (that was in the other thread).
I assume good motives until I have reason to do otherwise. If he is the person he represents himself to be, he should be welcomed, encouraged, utilized, and educated. There is a chronic nastiness that some DU members heap on new posters, routinely, usually assuming things that are completely unjustified. Why not err the other direction?

26. Not a scam
Why would I be running a scam? I've been interviewed by a major TV station and I would not do something like a "scam" while be active in politics. I have began to think that you people have an issue with young people involved in politics.

9. Comment from Asher Heimermann
Again, the money will be sent to the CAMPAIGN and NOT me. I signed up for a personal fundraising page as I'm a member of Senator Obama's Grassroots Finance Committee. I know that I got started on the wrong side but I have come to know how to use the internet in a good way.
In fact, I was interviewed by an NBC station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for my involvement in politics and volunteering for the Senator's campaign.

But for now, I gotta go. I need to pack the cameras for my trip to Vermont tomorrow.
Do me a favor, would you, and send me a PM sometime over the next few days to let me know how all this ended up shaking out? (I absolutely NEVER go online when I'm on vacation.)

"Do not use our message board for personal fundraising, for-profit advertising, or selling products or services, except in the specially-designated "DU Marketplace" forum. We will occasionally make an exception in cases where the product or service contributes to the Democratic or progressive cause, provided that you ask an administrator for permission before you post."

Free Obama Stickers
I do have some left over Barack Obama for President label stickers. I am willing to mail out ten free stickers to the first 15 people that make a contribution of $5.00 or more. Just make sure that you send me your mailing address to me, so I can send out the stickers to you. I would really like to raise $5,000 by October, 2008.
Make your contribution on http://my.barackobama.com/asherheimermann in order for you receive your ten free Barack Obama for President stickers and to help me, a high school freshman, raise $5,000 for Senator Obama's presidential campaign.

When I was 14 Clinton was running for his second term and I knew he was no good. I knew, since I'd be able to vote in the next presidential election, that I'd be voting R. But besides that I had no political knowledge.

I turned 18 in June of 1972. Guess for whom my vote was cast. It was the first election for 18-year-olds.

Something seriously fishy is going on. However, I giggle at the idea that a 14 year old "democrat" went to skimmer's island to get support. These are the same people who consider their babies parasites. Like they aren't going to eat him alive. Wouldn't it be funny if it was a mole just being moley? :rotf:

EVERY damn episode, the Enterprise would be struck by some kind of Enemy Weapon, and EVERY TIME, everyone on the Enterprise's flight deck would FALL OUT OF HIS OR HER CHAIR and onto the floor.
Hadn't they ever heard, that far in the future, of SEAT BELTS?

I Have Administrative Approval
I have Democratic Underground Administrative Approval to fundraise for Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign.
As a 14 year old student, I dream of a President who is honest, personable, intelligent, and wise.
Many others as well as myself, want a leader with courage and integrity who has known the struggles of an everyday American. A lot of people have stopped believing that may even be possible. I haven't stopped believing. I support Senator Barack Obama because he is that leader.
Join me in supporting Senator Obama by making a donation to my personal fundraising page:

This campaign for the presidency is unparalleled in history. Our need for an honest, fresh-thinking leader could not be more urgent. Americans are hungry for change and Senator Obama will bring that change when he is elected.

You know, this really bothers me, that the cherub's parents aren't monitoring his internet usage.
The kid's setting himself up for a heap of trouble, from the rectal apertures, the deviates, the predators, on Skins's island.
I think the cherub should be playing with electric trains, not trying to be some wunderkind of the internet; he's setting himself up.

Well, this morning when I saw this was active, I hoped the bonfire on Skins's island had been doused, and the cherub was under the caring supervision of the parents again, given that he's barely old enough to ride a bicycle and have an electric train, much less post on an internet site known to have primitives, savages, beasts, and.....predators.

I've been on Skins's island constantly, and the only ones I see stirring up trouble are the Obamaite primitives.
