Friend --
We just found out that Mitt Romney and the Republican Party 
raised more than $X million in June.
The gap between what we're raising and what they're raising is 
growing -- and if we don't work to close this gap now, we risk 
losing at all levels in November.
We're working hand in hand with the Obama campaign to ensure 
that the President, and Democrats across the country, are 
victorious in November. So I wanted to pass along a message 
from Obama campaign manager Jim Messina that talks about 
this fundraising gap -- and how we can fight back.
Read the email below, then pitch in $X or whatever you can to 
turn the tide in this election:

Thanks,
Patrick

Friend --
Romney and the Republicans announced yesterday that 
they brought in more than $X million in June.
For context, that's about what we raised in April and May 
combined.
We're still tallying our own numbers, but this means their 
gap is getting wider, and if it continues at this pace, it could 
cost us the election.
If everyone who's been waiting to give pitches in $X or more 
today, we can start reversing this trend in just a few hours.
Please do your part -- make a donation of $X or more 
right now.

One hundred million is alarming enough, but it doesn't even 
include the millions pouring into pro-Romney super PACs -- 
or the fact that, unlike four years ago, it's perfectly legal for the 
Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Karl Rove, and anonymous 
billionaires to funnel unlimited money into attacking 
President Obama in critical battleground states.
I'm proud of the way we build this organization. Through the 
primaries, more than three-quarters of our donations were 
from people giving less than $X. Meanwhile, in that same 
period, Mitt Romney's campaign raised three-quarters of its
money from people giving $X or more.
If we don't take this seriously now, we risk finding ourselves 
at a point where there is too much ground to make up.
We need to do something about it. Today.
Please donate $X or more:

More to come.
