How's it feel to be a record-holder?
Last month, we surpassed 10 million donations in 2012 alone. We made history. 
In September, 1.8 million grassroots supporters like you chipped in $X million to support the campaign and our party's grassroots organization. That's by far our biggest month.
This race isn't over. These last 31 days are the most important, when the final decisions are made. Let's finish strong -- chip in $X or more today:

More than the total, I love how we raised it. Here are the numbers:
 -- 1.8 million people donated to this organization in September -- 567,044 of them for the first time ever.  -- For the month, our average contribution was $X and 98 percent of our contributions were $X or less.
Those are great numbers. But it's the people -- like you -- who are the heart of this campaign and make this all possible. It's people like Sarah from North Carolina, who gives to the campaign every month. She says: "Words cannot describe what President Obama has done. I am much better off. He saved my home ... my blood pressure medicine used to  cost me $X every month. Now it only costs $X a month."
But let's take a step back for a second: This last month is going to be our toughest and most important yet, and every single one of us needs to step up and keep this momentum going.
Next week, Mitt Romney and his allies are preparing an unprecedented negative ad blitz in critical battleground states across the country. We saw in the debate the extent to which Governor Romney is willing to distort the truth to win -- and we know what that kind of "leadership" will do to our country. 
We're going to have to work harder than ever before.
Last month you showed exactly what we're capable of on the ground. In states like Iowa, our ground game kicked off early voting in a big way -- more than 65,000 Democrats have already cast their ballots, compared with more than 21,000 Republicans. In Ohio and Florida, we celebrated the openings of our 100th field office in each state. And speaking of Florida, our team registered 10,000 new voters in a single day last Thursday . We're still looking into if that's a record.
Point is, we're doing this right, but there's still a lot to do. One month to go -- can you donate $X or more today?

I know you have the President's back every day -- and that matters. It's what gives him, and everyone on this campaign, the confidence and inspiration to keep at it these last 31 days. And I promise you we're all going to do the best we can to honor that support. Together, we will get this done.
