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?

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.
