New Site Lets Users Donate to Obama for Free

New York, NY, September 20, 2012 --(PR.com)-- ShopForObama.us uses Amazon's 'Associates' affiliate program to raise money from every purchase you make on Amazon.com and then donates that money to the Obama 2012 Political Campaign. This is the same method that websites and blogs use to monetize their sites by promoting products from Amazon.com.

"I was looking for a way to support the Obama campaign without donating a large sum out-of-pocket," said site developer, Chris Maddern. "Then the idea came to me to use this tried and tested method for a new and innovative purpose."

Maddern, a software developer and entrepreneur, developed the site in an evening and it has been online for 24 hours, already having raised several $100s for the Obama 2012 campaign.

When asked about the possibility of sites other than Amazon, Maddern responded, "We're working with other online stores to get more Affiliate programs online, allowing users to raise money for the cause on more sites, hopefully including iTunes."
