Art For Obama is an online auction of photographs by 50 of the countries most prominent photographers. All proceeds from the auction will go to supporting the Obama campaign. From the site:

MISSION
ART FOR OBAMA is an online auction of photographs to benefit the Obama Campaign. Fifty of the country’s most prominent artists and photographers have donated their work for this cause. All proceeds will be donated to MoveOn.org, one of the most, if not the single-most, effective advocacy groups for the Obama campaign. Due to strict Democratic National Committee and Federal Election Commission regulations, we cannot legally donate directly to the Obama campaign or to the Democratic National Committee.

WHO WE ARE
ART FOR OBAMA is a group of five artists who have come together to help the Obama campaign. Because we cannot afford to make large donations ourselves, we want to bring together the leaders of our community to help create change. We are all unpaid volunteers.
