Outspent

Pacquiao -- It's deadline day. We're down to the last few hours before we tally up our numbers -- and make some tough calls about what Democrats can do in August. This could be our most important deadline yet. If you can, please support Democrats across the country with an urgent donation of $3 or more before midnight tonight. We're getting drastically outspent in this election, and people keep asking me how we can step it up. But the reality is, we're playing a different game -- relying on people chipping in a little bit whenever they can -- and we need to do more with less. It's my job to pinch the pennies and make sure we're putting our resources where they'll do the most. That's a tight budget. And that's why I'm emailing you. I don't think anyone makes a donation just because they're happy to hear from me again over email. Everyone who supports Democrats is stepping up for a reason. Maybe it's because you believe in winning elections the right way, building something one person at a time, and working together toward a better future. Or because you don't want to see so much hard-fought progress erased, or a return to policies of the past that sent the country into a ditch, or maybe you're just fired up to re-elect this President and win a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress. Think about your reason for supporting Democrats, and please give $3 or more today: https://my.democrats.org/July-Deadline I couldn't be prouder of what we've done together. Let's make sure we don't slip in the last few months. Thanks, Hildy Hildy Kuryk National Finance Director Democratic National Committee

Last email from me for a while

Pacquiao -- I'm here to tell you, really quickly, about why tonight's fundraising deadline matters. The past couple of months, our president has been vastly outraised by Republicans. Democrats in races across the country are up against the same thing, with outside groups pouring millions in to drag us down. If we don't stop this trend, and start closing the gap, 2012 could go down as the year that powerful special interests learned that elections can have a price tag. I'm not willing to accept that -- and I hope you aren't either. I promise this will be the last email you get from me for a while. Will you help close that fundraising gap? https://my.democrats.org/July-Deadline Thanks, Debbie Debbie Wasserman Schultz Chair Democratic National Committee P.S. -- We've got less than 100 days left until Election day. Thank you for everything you've done, and everything you do these next 98 days to help Democrats win. You won't regret it.

So

Pacquiao -- Sometimes politics can seem very small. But the choice voters face in this election couldn't be bigger. Over the past two months, we have been outraised by our opponents. They've used that advantage to distort the truth and mislead people, over and over, on TV and the radio in battleground states. Tonight is one of the most critical fundraising deadlines we'll face. If we win this election, it will be because of what you did in moments like this to close the gap. Please make a donation of $3 or more right now: https://my.democrats.org/Deadline-Midnight Thank you. Barack

Here's how it is:

Pacquiao -- I'm not interested in the money race, so I'm just going to tell you how it is. Our strength heading into November is going to be determined in large part by how much money we raise now. That's why the fundraising deadline tomorrow at midnight is so important. We can't afford to lose -- the stakes are just too high. Can you stand the thought of a president who would take away guaranteed health coverage from people with pre-existing conditions, would be "delighted" to sign a bill banning all abortions, and would raise taxes on the middle class while lowering taxes for millionaires and billionaires? Me neither.

We need your help. Here's why:

Pacquiao -- Our next big fundraising deadline is on Tuesday -- and we need your help. As former chair of the Democratic Party, I know that after each of these FEC deadlines, hard decisions have to be made about where resources go -- whether we can afford to hire more organizers to register voters in Florida, or if we raised enough to pay for that big TV ad in Ohio to fight back against distortions and misinformation from the other side. We need your help to make sure our Democratic candidates across the country have the resources they need to win on Election Day. Donate $3 or more right now. We've got a tough road ahead of us. Mitt Romney and the Republicans have outraised us two months in a row -- and after this critical fundraising deadline, they're going to be making decisions about where to send their funds, too. That's why it's so important we make sure that Democrats at all levels have the resources they need to fight back and talk about what we stand for. Nobody likes the money race -- but we can't let a small group of powerful interests buy this election. That's why we need your help -- one donation at a time, we're fighting back. Donate $3 or whatever you can right now before our critical fundraising deadline: https://my.democrats.org/July-Deadline Thanks, Gov. Howard Dean

Outraised

Pacquiao -- For the last two months, Governor Romney and the Republicans have outraised us -- and in the last month alone, they raised $35 million more than we did. They've caught up to us in the fundraising race for the first time this election, and we have to do everything we can to close the gap now -- before it's too late. Donate $3 or more today to help close the gap. We keep reminding you about this fundraising gap because when Governor Romney and the Republicans outraise us by that much, it matters. This fundraising gap means that Republicans may not only outraise us, they could outspend us this election -- on TV, in the field, and online. You better believe that when they're using their fundraising advantage to blanket the airwaves with misleading attack ads, Democrats across the board will feel the consequences. Our next big fundraising deadline is just a few days away -- and we have the chance to reverse this trend and keep Governor Romney and the Republicans from outraising us for the third month in a row. So help close the fundraising gap before the deadline on Tuesday. It's critically important. Donate $3 or whatever you can today: https://my.democrats.org/July-Deadline Thanks, Joe

Sign Barack's card

Pacquiao -- Barack's 51st birthday is coming up. I hope you'll wish him a happy birthday by signing the card we're putting together for him. You'll be adding Pacquiao, from New York, alongside thousands of other supporters' names -- folks from all 50 states, from all different backgrounds. Together, all those names will be impressive -- they'll show the strength of this campaign and our support for Barack. And I know he's going to love it. Add your name today -- and then ask a friend to join you: http://my.democrats.org/Happy-Birthday-Barack These last few months until Election Day won't be easy -- so let's show Barack we have his back every step of the way. - Michelle

'The rest of you are on your own'

Pacquiao -- This election is about values. It's about what kind of people we are and what kind of country we want to build. Mitt Romney and the Republicans believe in an America that says, "I've got mine, and the rest of you are on your own." We believe in an America that pays it forward -- that puts the conditions in place so that the next kid can get ahead, and the kid after that, and the kid after that. This is not a fight I'm willing to lose. It's not a fight that President Obama is willing to lose. And I'm hoping this isn't a fight you're willing to lose, either. Donate $3 right now to help us fight back. The Republicans are raising money hand over fist to protect their vision for the future. I've seen for myself in the Senate race in Massachusetts -- the Republicans will do and say anything to win in November. Election Day is 106 days away. If we don't square our shoulders for this fight -- and close the fundraising gap for Democrats across the country right now -- it could be too late. Help President Obama and the Democratic Party stand up and fight: https://my.democrats.org/Help-Democrats-Fight Thank you for being a part of this. We can't afford to lose. Elizabeth Warren

Gray hairs

Pacquiao -- When I decided to run for president, I had significantly fewer gray hairs than I do today. Michelle says I've earned them, which is the nicest possible way to say I'm getting older. In fact, I'm turning 51 in a couple weeks, and to celebrate I'm heading home to Chicago for a get-together at my house. I'd love for you to be one of my guests. Donate $3 or whatever you can to support the campaign, and you'll be automatically entered to join me at home in Chicago -- flight and hotel covered for you and a guest of your choice. Chicago is where I fell in love with my wife and where our daughters were born. It's where decades ago I first started as a community organizer and where, six years ago, I first talked with Michelle about the possibility of running for president. I'm looking forward to spending a few hours celebrating there before it's all systems go for the final weeks of the election. Should be fun. Thanks for all your support so far. If you can, enter today for a chance to join me and some friends at my house in Chicago, and I can thank you in person: https://my.democrats.org/My-Birthday Hope to see you soon, Barack No purchase, payment, or contribution necessary to enter or win.

If we don't close the gap right now...

Pacquiao -- We've got a problem. This week, we learned that Mitt Romney and the Republican Party outraised us for the second month in a row. This time, it was by more than $35 million. Now, we don't need to win the fundraising race to beat Mitt Romney. But the gap is growing at an alarming rate, and if we don't start closing that gap right now, it will be too late. It's up to you. President Obama and Democrats across the country are counting on our grassroots operation. Please donate $3 or more today. In 2008, we showed that elections can be waged, and won, based on the idea that many voices could overpower those of a few. And it worked. This year, we need to prove it in the face of unprecedented spending from super PACs and outside groups. We need to show that ordinary people can still control the outcome of an election. I hope you're ready to fight -- one supporter, one dollar at a time. Let's show what we're made of.

Re: I will be outspent

Pacquiao -- We're getting outraised -- a first for a sitting president, if this continues. Not just by the super PACs and outside groups that are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into misleading ads, but by our opponent and the Republican Party, which just outraised us for the second month in a row. We can win a race in which the other side spends more than we do. But not this much more. So I need your help. If you believe that regular people should decide elections, then please chip in $3 or more today. This isn't about me or the outcome of one election. This election will be a test of the model that got us here. We'll learn whether it's still true that a grassroots campaign can elect a president -- whether ordinary Americans are in control of our democracy in the face of massive spending. I believe we can do this. When all of us chip in what we can, when we can, we are the most powerful force in politics. But today is the day to prove it. Donate now: http://my.democrats.org/Outraised Thank you -- for everything you've done before and everything you're doing now. It matters. Barack

The numbers are in

Pacquiao -- Our fundraising numbers from June are in. Along with President Obama's campaign, we raised $71 million, making this month our biggest yet. That's something to be proud of. But we still got beat. Mitt Romney and the Republican Party raised more than $106 million -- making it the second month in a row that they outraised us, this time by $35 million. That's a big gap. And if we don't do everything we can to close it now, we risk losing more than just a fundraising race in November. Donate $3 or more today to close the gap. Donations from Democrats like you are directly helping us at all levels across the country. Over the last three months, your donations have helped us: -- Continue to open field offices in all 50 states, including our 30th field office in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. -- Hold nationwide voter registration drives and register hundreds of thousands of people. -- Organize the National Youth Summit, which gave more than 1,000 young people the tools to organize in neighborhoods and on their college campuses. -- Run a four-day, six-state "Romney Economics: The Middle Class Under the Bus" tour highlighting Romney's failed economic record and vision -- which received an astounding amount of local press coverage, showing that exposing Romney's record is working. We're working hard to make sure Democratic candidates win in November, but we've got an uphill battle if Romney and the Republicans continue to outraise us at such a pace. While Mitt Romney and the Republicans rely on mostly big donors to fund their campaigns, in June alone, more than 700,000 donors stepped up to support the DNC and Obama campaign. We've got to do everything we can to put a stop to the Republican momentum -- so donate $3 or whatever you can to close the gap.

Fwd: Urgent

Pacquiao -- We just found out that Mitt Romney and the Republican Party raised more than $100 million in June. The gap between what we're raising and what they're raising is growing -- and if we don't work to close this gap now, we risk losing at all levels in November. We're working hand in hand with the Obama campaign to ensure that the President, and Democrats across the country, are victorious in November. So I wanted to pass along a message from Obama campaign manager Jim Messina that talks about this fundraising gap -- and how we can fight back. Read the email below, then pitch in $3 or whatever you can to turn the tide in this election: http://my.democrats.org/Close-the-Gap Thanks, Patrick -----------------Original Message----------------- From: Jim Messina, BarackObama.com Subject: Urgent Friend -- Romney and the Republicans announced yesterday that they brought in more than $100 million in June. For context, that's about what we raised in April and May combined. We're still tallying our own numbers, but this means their gap is getting wider, and if it continues at this pace, it could cost us the election. If everyone who's been waiting to give pitches in $3 or more today, we can start reversing this trend in just a few hours. Please do your part -- make a donation of $3 or more right now. One hundred million is alarming enough, but it doesn't even include the millions pouring into pro-Romney super PACs -- or the fact that, unlike four years ago, it's perfectly legal for the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Karl Rove, and anonymous billionaires to funnel unlimited money into attacking President Obama in critical battleground states. I'm proud of the way we build this organization. Through the primaries, more than three-quarters of our donations were from people giving less than $1,000. Meanwhile, in that same period, Mitt Romney's campaign raised three-quarters of its money from people giving $1,000 or more. If we don't take this seriously now, we risk finding ourselves at a point where there is too much ground to make up. We need to do something about it. Today. Please donate $3 or more: http://my.democrats.org/Close-the-Gap More to come. Messina Jim Messina Campaign Manager Obama for America
