I will be the first president in modern history to be outspent in his
re-election campaign, if things continue as they have so far.
I'm not just talking about the super PACs and anonymous outside groups --
I'm talking about the Romney campaign itself. Those outside groups just add
even more to the underlying problem.
The Romney campaign raises more than we do, and the math isn't hard to
understand: Through the primaries, we raised almost three-quarters of our
money from donors giving less than $X while Mitt Romney's campaign
raised more than three-quarters of its money from individuals giving $X
or more.
And, again, that's not including the massive outside spending by super PACs
and front groups funneling up to an additional billion dollars into ads
trashing me, you, and everything we believe in.
We can be outspent and still win -- but we can't be outspent 10 to 1 and
still win.
More than 2.2 million Americans have already chipped in for us, and I'm so
grateful for it. As we face this week's fundraising deadline, can you make
a donation of $X or more
today?
 
Every donation you make today automatically enters you to join Michelle and
me for one of the last grassroots dinners of this campaign -- today is your
last chance to get your name in.
These dinners represent how we do things differently. My opponent spent
this past weekend at a secretive retreat for the biggest donors to both his
campaign and the super PACs that support him.
I've got other responsibilities I'm attending to.
Donate today to stand for our kind of politics:
