I have amazing news, F.
Last month, we surpassed 10 million donations in 2012 alone. We made history. And we raised $X million during the month of September. I don't think I have to tell you how huge that number is. 
The more important tally, though, is the number of grassroots donors who came together last month to chip in what they can to help grow this campaign and our party's grassroots organization: more than 1.8 million Americans 567,044 of whom were first-time donors giving an average donation of just $X. And 98% of the donations were $X and under.
Day in and day out, you're out there supporting the President and Democrats across the country. And we're all going to do the best we can over the next 31 days to honor that commitment.
But this election isn't over. With just one month left, we need to lean in and sprint.
Chip in $X or more now so we can finish strong.
We're building this organization the right way, from the grassroots up. Laurie, a factory worker in Iowa, perfectly captured the spirit of our campaign: "I plan to make another donation, probably several. I actually love that you can make a six-dollar donation. Six bucks? Come on, that's a burger or some coffee."
What makes our grassroots organization so strong is that people like Laurie are giving what they can when they can, because they know that every donation counts, no matter how big or small.
Our opponents don't have that. They're relying on distortions, negativity, and outside groups to win this election.
In the debate, Romney showed just how far he was willing to deviate from the truth in order to win. Outside groups are flooding the airwaves with negative ads trashing President Obama, his allies, and everything we've accomplished together in the past four years.
Over the course of next week alone, these groups are planning an unprecedented negative ad blitz in battleground states across the country.
That's why it's so critical that we don't get complacent. I know I've asked a lot of you these past few months, but that's only because this is extraordinarily important.
Donate $X or more now so we can keep our guy the right guy in the Oval Office, and take back Congress:
