Democrats 
What's worse than being outraised in a critical election year?
Knowing we could have done something about it and didn't.
So, with that in mind, I've got some news:
Romney's campaign released their July fundraising numbers. We got beat again, but the gap is closing. That's right, our grassroots donations up against their deep-pocketed donors -- and we're without a doubt starting to gain. This is proof that, if we keep our eye on the ball, we can continue to close the fundraising gap, and give Democrats what it will take to win in November.
Donate $X or more today to keep closing the gap:

Thanks -- we can do this.

P.S. -- Romney and the RNC outraised us by $X million in July, and $X million in June. Your $X donation will help close the gap.
