Democrats --
Watching the Republican convention this week was a little bit like being punched in the gut for three straight days.
This was their chance for a knockout blow -- three days to give us their best shot. And if you were watching, it got pretty ugly.
If you're like me, you're ready to punch back.
 Today's the day to do it. Midnight tonight is the biggest fundraising deadline we've faced this year. Pitch in $X or more before our critical deadline:

Thanks,

Brad Woodhouse Communications Director Democratic National Committee
P.S. -- Romney and the Republicans have outraised us for three months in a row, and if we don't do everything we can to close this fundraising gap before the deadline tonight, the consequences could be devastating for Democrats. Donate today.
