Fundraising gap (not good):

Democrats
Pacquiao, I'm not going to sugarcoat this.

We just learned that Mitt Romney and the Republicans seriously outraised us so far this month, and have $45 million more to spend than we do.

That's a problematic fundraising gap with just 10 days to go -- and if it worries you, it should. It translates into an onslaught of misleading attack ads targeting President Obama and other Democrats in tight races across the country.

If we're going to pull out a win, we need to act immediately to close this fundraising gap. Make a donation of $5 or more now.

We've got a better ground game than Romney and the Republicans. We're getting more voters to the polls in states where they can vote early, and we're ramping up for a massive get-out-the-vote operation on November 6th.

But with more resources, there's always more we can do -- buy more clipboards, rent more vans to drive voters to the polls, or hire more organizers to knock on as many doors as possible to combat all of the negative advertising the Republicans will be rolling out over the next few days.

Help close this fundraising gap today and put President Obama and Democrats in a position to win:

Keep fighting -- we can do this.
