Huge news:
We finally closed the gap. We outraised Mitt Romney and the Republicans $X million to $X million in August.
Unbelievable. After three straight months of getting beat and not by a small margin you and more than 1,170,000 other supporters made a donation to close the gap. Thank you.
We can't let up for one second. These August numbers don't reflect outside group fundraising or spending and in that category we're still getting thrashed.
Right before the conventions, we were being outspent by super PACs alone in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. That margin was more than 2 to 1 in Florida, Iowa, and North Carolina. Democrats across the country are facing the same onslaught. 
Please donate $X or more again today, and let's build on our momentum.
We recently learned Karl Rove is rounding up the most powerful Republican donors to give all they've got to beat Barack Obama and fellow Democrats.
And it's clear the Romney campaign and the Republicans have been building up a cash advantage that would allow them to blanket the airwaves with negative ads even if we did close the gap. Last week a Romney-Ryan official compared their latest ad campaign to the "daisy cutter" bombs used in the Iraq War. Another adviser to the campaign said their goal from now to Election Day is to "carpet bomb" President Obama and Vice President Biden.
After all our hard work over the past 17 months, I'll be damned if the Republicans, Karl Rove, the Koch brothers, and a handful of anonymous billionaires "carpet bomb" our side and end up deciding this election for millions of Americans in the last 57 days.
You just proved we can go head to head with Romney and Republicans across the country and win. That can't stop now.
This will be a tight race to the end. Donate $X or more today:

Together we're proving that ordinary Americans not special interests or super PACs will decide this election. I'm proud to be a part of this organization, and even more determined to make sure our hard work translates into victories in November. I hope you feel the same way.
Thanks for all you're doing.
