Democrats --
The Romney camp just announced that they raised $X million in July, and while they beat the $X million we raised, I want to be the first to tell you:
 Democrats came through, and we are starting to close the fundraising gap between us and them. 
It's a tough fight -- but $X and $X at a time, we are continuing to prove that grassroots donations from everyday folks can go toe to toe with Romney's deep-pocketed, corporate donors any day, any time.
I couldn't be prouder of what we've done. But we're not there yet -- because we did, in fact, get beat again.
I want every single Democrat out there to be able to say at the end of this election that we did everything we could to help re-elect President Obama and help Democrats win.
It starts with you -- right now.
 Please make a donation of $X or whatever you can give to help keep closing the gap between us and them:

We can do this.
Thanks,
Patrick
