Friend --
The headlines are talking about how you and I got beat again by the other side in fundraising.
Those headlines aren't going away. I will be outspent in this election. And we will not win the ad wars on TV and radio -- right now, the other side is outspending us on TV by at least 2-to-1 in most battleground states.
And that's OK. But only if we're able to keep the spending gap close enough so that our investments in a truly grassroots campaign pay off.
I believe in that model, and I'm betting that you do, too.
It's moments like these that I need you to act on that belief. Can you make a donation of $3 or more today?

Thank you,
Barack
P.S. -- To say thanks for all you're doing for me and for this campaign, we're inviting a couple grassroots supporters -- and their guests -- to New York for a special event with some basketball greats. Even if you don't share my love for basketball, I'd love to meet you. If you're interested, make a donation here today, and you'll be automatically entered to join us. I may even challenge you to a quick shootaround.

There, much better :)
“approximate retail value of all prizes $3,200”
What is really going to be funny is when Romney’s IRS audits the winners and makes them pay income taxes on the $3200!!!!
Obama is begging now. He’s losing his supporters. Why would anyone donate money to a known loser?
They are already crafting the narrative for Nov. 7th, should he lose.
Looks like too many selfish brides are keeping their wedding gifts for themselves.
“They are already crafting the narrative for Nov. 7th, should he lose.”
Remember that the last Rat loser waited weeks to “concede” — if vowing to fight the winner could be considered a concession.

LMAO...how in the blue hell does an incumbent have a ‘grassroots’ campaign?
Yes, please send money so they can pay for all the voter fraud they have planned. It’s cheaper than TV.
