For all our friends in battleground states, watching TV is about to  get a whole lot worse. For every one of our ads, folks in Virginia,  Florida, and states across the country are seeing two ads from the  other side attacking Barack and the work we've done together.
Governor Romney and his Republican allies think they can buy this  election if they pump enough money onto the airwaves. After all,  this strategy worked for them in the primaries.
But Barack and I refuse to sit back and let that happen. And millions  of Americans have joined us, pitching in time and resources to make  sure our ground game can compete with whatever they do.
So yes, we're being outraised, and we're going to be outspent pretty  badly.
But we won't be out-organized.
The convention is right around the corner -- and Election Day just two  months after that. It's crunch time. Chip in $X or more today and  help close the gap:
