My announcement regarding party unity

Committing to party unity is not always easy. But it is what this moment in our politics -- and our history -- demands of us.

This election will be more important than any in our lifetimes, and I say that having run for president twice. Every ounce of progress that you and I won together is on the line -- from health care for all, to an economy that works for everyone, to a habitable planet for future generations. All those reasons and more are why we must come together to elect a Democrat to the White House and win seats in every corner of our country -- but none of that will be possible without a fully supported Democratic Unity Fund. Now, with just months to go, we don't have a moment to waste. Pat, I am urging you to make an investment in the Democratic Party: Make a $7 contribution to the Democratic Unity Fund to give our eventual nominee for president and Democrats nationwide the resources they'll need to win. Whoever becomes our party's nominee will rely on your early support and a strong, unified Democratic Party in the general election. DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount The idea behind the Democratic Unity Fund is simple, yet powerful: We must throw our unified support behind our future nominee and Democrats across the country so that, no matter who wins, they'll have the resources they need to win. Committing to party unity is not always easy. But it is what this moment in our politics -- and our history -- demands of us. There is too much at stake to let division and hatred win this race, and that begins with unifying as one team. I hope you'll join me in doing so by making a contribution today. Donate $7 to the Democratic Unity Fund. Any amount you give today will be put straight toward building the strong Democratic Party it will take to win the White House and seats across our nation. Thank you for being a part of this work, Barack Obama P.S. Each day we move closer to finding out the result of this primary nomination process, forces will try to divide us and tear us apart. But we cannot let that happen. Our party is at its strongest when we unite around our common purpose and our shared values, so please donate $7 to the Democratic Unity Fund.
