I'm the chief operating officer, and right now I'm working on balancing the
campaign's budget. On September 30th, we've got to close the books on this
quarter and report to the FEC on our progress so far.
That's not just a big deal for me and the accounting team. It's a big deal
for everyone who's invested in the success of this campaign -- the staff,
volunteers, donors, and folks on the ground in places where we hope to open
up offices and expand our campaign in the next few weeks and months.
This is the moment when we decide how fast this campaign grows: how many
volunteers we can recruit, how many new people we can register to vote, how
many offices we can open.
 It's not me who will decide -- it's you, right now: 
 Can you give $X or more
today?
 
The other side is making some decisions right now, too.
Each of the Republican campaigns is trying to build an organization bigger
and faster than ours -- but you and I aren't going to let that happen.
So we have to decide now: How many offices can we open? How many community
organizers can we hire? How many ads can we run to beat back the attacks on
President Obama? How big can we make this thing?
It's up to you: What can you pitch in?

I probably won't be writing very often, but I hope you understand that what
you do right now, and right up until midnight on September 30th, doesn't
just matter to me and to the team filing the report -- it matters to the
tens of millions of Americans who are counting on this campaign to
represent them.
Thanks,
Ann Marie
