I've been supporting Obama for President for several months now, and now that he's decided to give up public funding for his campaign he's going to need a lot of help from the "fat cats," big donors with deep pockets willing to give lots of money.

Who are these "fat cats," and how can we identify them?

For the Obama campaign, the average donation is in the neighborhood of $150. Given that, I think anyone who gives $250 or more to the Obama campaign qualifies as a "fat cat."

In order to identify these people I'm going to give an "Obama Fat Cat" car magnet to anyone who has given over $250 to the Obama campaign. Why? Because it's important to get out the message that this is a campaign with tens of thousands of "fat cats," not just the usual bunch of highly connected donors.

I don't have a design yet, but I was thinking of something cute and cartoony (suggestions are welcome--leave them in the comments).

If you've given $250 to Obama's campaign, send me an e-mail with your name and address to , and I'll mail you a magnet when I have them ready (I reserve the right to verify your fat cat status against one of the Internet databases of campaign donors).

This is something I'm doing totally on my own, and I don't have any connection to the Obama campaign other than some of my own dollars going to their coffers.

Please pass this around. The more fat cats the better!
