You don't have to get 100% of registered voters to participate. For one thing, if someone gives more than $3 then that means you need less people to contribute.

You don't have to get 100% of registered voters to participate. For one thing, if someone gives more than $3 then that means you need less people to contribute. But more importantly, the top corporate donor is AT&T (http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/index.php http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/index.php) -- if you click on AT&T's name, you will see that AT&T contributed $4.5 million total in 2008. At $3 per month, that's only 125,366 users. The $3 per month per registered voter is to outspend all contributors and all lobby expenditures combined -- including what individuals gave. You don't need to raise that much to be an influential player.
