I'm not willing to let this happen





Right now, Barack is on track to be the first president in

living memory to be outspent in his re-election campaign.

I'm not willing to let that happen. Are you?

Get Barack's back now:

From: Barack Obama

Subject: I will be outspent

Friend --

I will be the first president in modern history to be outspent

in his re-election campaign, if things continue as they have

so far.

I'm not just talking about the super PACs and anonymous

outside groups -- I'm talking about the Romney campaign

itself. Those outside groups just add even more to the

underlying problem.

The Romney campaign raises more than we do, and the

math isn't hard to understand: Through the primaries, we raised

almost three-quarters of our money from donors giving less

than $X while Mitt Romney's campaign raised more than

three-quarters of its money from individuals giving $X or

more.

And, again, that's not including the massive outside spending by

super PACs and front groups funneling up to an additional billion

dollars into ads trashing me, you, and everything we believe in.

We can be outspent and still win -- but we can't be outspent

10 to 1 and still win.

More than 2.2 million Americans have already chipped in for us,

and I'm so grateful for it. As we face this week's fundraising deadline,

can you make a donation today?

[url]

Grassroots supporters like you represent how we do things differently.

My opponent spent this past weekend at a secretive retreat for the biggest

donors to both his campaign and the super PACs that support him.

I've got other responsibilities I'm attending to.

Donate today to stand for our kind of politics:

This is a good day for millions of Americans who can continue to benefit

from the protections and economic security provided by the Affordable

Care Act.

While the Supreme Court's decision should put to rest the debate over

health care, Mitt Romney and the Republicans in Congress just can't take

yes for an answer.

My opponent said a short while ago that the first thing he would try to

do as president is repeal the health care law. We can't allow that to

happen. So we have to win this election.

Today is a victory for millions of Americans who can

continue to benefit from the protections of the Affordable

Care Act.

It's a victory for Natoma Canfield, a cancer survivor who

was in a hospital bed the day I signed this bill into law.

After her rates skyrocketed, she had to choose between

keeping her house and keeping her insurance. I keep a

letter from her in the Oval Office.

Thanks to the Supreme Court's decision today, nobody else

will have to go through what Natoma did.

Please step up now and donate today:

It's hard to believe anyone was hoping for a different

outcome, but Mitt Romney and Republicans in Washington were.

Fortunately, they didn't get what they wanted today.

So now the only thing that can make our health care system

less fair, less efficient, and less affordable for

middle-class families is the prospect of President Mitt

Romney.

Whether he gets his chance is up to you:

We fought for this reform not because it was politically

popular, but because it was the right thing to do for

millions of Americans.

Thank you for all that you do.

I can't describe to you what it feels like when someone you don't know tells you the most painful story of their life -- about a sick child who can't get coverage, or the disease that left them not just sick, but bankrupt.

I can only tell you that it feels good to know you did something about it.

That's what you put me here to do, and today is a reminder that we accomplished something very significant together.

It's not enough. There are more things to do, and many more challenges we face.

But always remember that when a system is unfair, when the middle class is under siege, and ordinary people who play by the rules need help, change is possible.

And do not forget that there are some who would take it all way.

Nothing is fated, and what happens in this election and over the next four years is in your hands -- nobody else's.

Our president didn't give up

I was with President Obama in the Oval Office when health reform finally

passed.

Two years later, after all we went through to get here, knowing that

millions of people are better off because our president didn't give up on

them -- I can't stomach the image of a President Romney in that seat,

signing repeal into law.

But that's what he says he will do on Day One as president.

We have to win this election, and Saturday is the biggest fundraising

deadline we've faced so far.

Folks

races for the White House and the Senate are close, and Romney's

billionaire financiers are coming out swinging. They're flooding

battleground states with Super PAC smears, and the sky is their limit on

spending.

I've been doing this a long time and I'll tell you: If you wait until the

fall to act, it will be too late.

Our most crucial FEC deadline hits in just 48 hours and the DSCC still

needs to raise $X. Can you pitch in

$X?

We're trying to build a middle class that'll live strong for decades. And

folks, Romney may not be too worried about the middle class - but the

middle class sure as heck should be worried about Romney.

I wouldn't ask if it weren't so important. Can you help me make it happen?

Joe Biden

if he gets elected.

Obamacare!

Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare

To view this email as a web page, go here.

Friend,

Today, the Supreme Court upheld Obamacare. But regardless of what the Court said about the constitutionality of the law, Obamacare is bad medicine, it is bad policy, and when I'm President, the bad news of Obamacare will be over.

It was always a liberal pipedream that a 2,700 page, multi-trillion-dollar Federal Government takeover of our health care system actually could address the very serious problems we face with health care. With Obamacare fully installed, government will reach fully half of the economy - that is the recipe for a struggling economy and declining prosperity.

On Day One, I will work to repeal Obamacare to stop the government's takeover of our health care and intrusion in our lives. I will push for real reform to our health care system that focuses on helping patients and protecting taxpayers.

We cannot afford Barack Obama's on-the-job learning, Big Government proposals, and irresponsible spending. Our basic liberties are at stake - and I will fight to restore our freedoms, renew the respect for our Constitution, and halt the government takeover of health care.

This November it's all on the line. The stakes couldn't be higher.

Donate $X or more to put a stop to the policies of Barack Obama and the liberal Democrats.

Thanks,

Mitt Romney
