At \nthe same time, supporters all across the country are\nbusy defining the role this grassroots movement will play\nin the administration.\n\nIt's a new and unprecedented set of challenges, and\nBarack and I still need your support. I know we've asked\na lot of you recently -- but that's because we're\ncontinuing to do things differently.\n\nPast transition teams have taken donations from\ncorporations and lobbyists. Our team will not accept any\ndonations from Washington lobbyists, and individual\ncontributions will be limited to $5,000.\n\nSo while half of our funding comes from a government grant,\nthe second half is in your hands.\n\nWill you make a donation of $250 or more to support the\npresidential transition team?\n\n...\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Dear Joe,<\/p>\n<p>You picked a <a href=\"http:\/\/prospect.org\/csnc\/blogs\/tapped_archive?month=12&amp;year=2008&amp;base_name=rick_warren_to_deliver_invocat\">really bad day to beg me for yet more money<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect from now on, most days won&#8217;t be much better.<\/p>\n<p>Best regards,<\/p>\n<p>Evan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Joe: You picked a <a href=\"http:\/\/prospect.org\/csnc\/blogs\/tapped_archive?month=12&amp;year=2008&amp;base_name=rick_warren_to_deliver_invocat\">really bad day to beg me for yet more money<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goer.org\/Journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goer.org\/Journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goer.org\/Journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goer.org\/Journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goer.org\/Journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.goer.org\/Journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":760,"href":"https:\/\/www.goer.org\/Journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389\/revisions\/760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goer.org\/Journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goer.org\/Journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goer.org\/Journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
