R. — We have 100 days to fight every attack, or we will lose.   You don't want to wake up after the election to President Romney, a Republican Senate and nothing but “what ifs.”   But it's as possible as it is unthinkable. President Obama actually trailed in the latest NYT/CBS poll. “Must win” Senate races are tied. Armed with the largest war chest in history, Rove's sleazy attacks could swing the nation's balance of power radically to the right.   The next 48 hours will prove decisive – there's no time to fall behind. We still need $X by Tuesday's midnight FEC deadline.   Donate $X or more now – in the next 48 hours – to keep pace with Rove's money machine so we can defend President Obama and strong progressive candidates. It's the only way to win.   We have to defeat them. And we know how, but it's entirely dependent on you coming through in this moment.

R. — Today may mark 100 days from Election Day, but this election will be decided in the next few.

The race for the White House is a dead heat. Our Senate majority is razor-thin. Ten Senate races are polling within single digits.

The money we must raise before Tuesday's deadline is critically important to the outcome in November.

And right now, we're $X short. President Obama and the Democrats need you. Please click here to help us fight back.

These attacks work if they go unanswered. The polls tell us they are working in this campaign. And Tuesday's deadline will be our last chance to strike back before it's too late.

What you do between now and Tuesday will decide what happens on Election Day 100 days from today. Don't sit this out. Please click here to contribute $X or more.

Thank you for standing with Democrats at this critical moment.

We need your help. Here's why:



I'll make this short, since I know that around fundraising deadlines your inbox can start to be pretty cluttered.

For the last two months, Mitt Romney and the Republicans have outraised Democrats and President Obama -- by $X million in June alone.

If we don't reverse this trend right now, Democrats across the board risk falling too far behind. As former chairman of the Democratic Party, I'm asking you to help make sure that doesn't happen -- help us close this fundraising gap. Your support could be the difference between winning and losing in November.

There's a critical fundraising deadline Tuesday at midnight, and we need to do everything we can to keep the Republicans from pulling away.

Donate $X today:

Thanks,

Gov. Howard Dean

The Democratic Party -----------------------

Our next big fundraising deadline is Tuesday -- and we need your help.

As former chair of the Democratic Party, I know that after each of these FEC deadlines, hard decisions have to be made about where resources go -- whether we can afford to hire more organizers to register voters in Florida, or if we raised enough to pay for that big TV ad in Ohio to fight back against distortions and misinformation from the other side.

We need your help to make sure our Democratic candidates across the country have the resources they need to win on Election Day. Donate $X or more right now:

We've got a tough road ahead of us. Mitt Romney and the Republicans have outraised us two months in a row -- and after this critical fundraising deadline, they're going to be making decisions about where to send their funds, too.

That's why it's so important we make sure that Democrats at all levels have the resources they need to fight back and talk about what we stand for. Nobody likes the money race -- but we can't let a small group of powerful interests buy this election.

That's why we need your help -- one donation at a time, we're fighting back.

Donate $X or whatever you can right now before our critical fundraising deadline:

Obama for America
9:36 a.m. ET
Romney defeats Obama?



When you read the news 101 days from now, that might be the headline you see.

Those few words will tell us whether we fought back hard enough against Romney and the Republicans' massive special-interest fundraising machine -- or if we didn't do enough, maybe because we got complacent or thought that we had this one in the bag.

Donate $X or more today -- and don't leave this one up to luck, chance, or anything else.

Don't let anyone persuade you that this is a sure thing -- our opponents have almost unlimited resources at their disposal, and we already know they'll outspend us by a good amount.

What we do now decides the headlines on November 7th.

We're facing a huge fundraising deadline. Please donate now, and have a hand in the outcome of this election:

Those few words will tell us whether we fought back hard enough against Romney and the Republicans' massive special-interest fundraising machine -- or if we didn't do enough, maybe because we got complacent or thought that we had this one in the bag.

You've been a supporter since all the way back in 2008 -- in fact, in the last campaign, our records show you made a donation before we even hit 100 days out.

Thank you for that support. This year, with just another 100 days to go, will you consider donating again? The sooner we can bring additional organizers and field offices into the fold, the better our chances on Election Day. So if you were waiting for the right time to support President Obama again, the time is right now.

Donate $X or more today -- and don't leave this one up to luck, chance, or anything else.

Don't let anyone convince you that this is a sure thing -- our opponents have almost unlimited resources at their disposal, and we already know they'll outspend us by a good amount.

100 days

There are 100 days left until Election Day. To defeat Barack Obama, his liberal allies and their reelection machine in November, every day and every donation will count.

Donate $X today -- one dollar for each day remaining -- and together we can take back the White House in November, make Barack Obama a one-term president, and defeat his liberal allies.

President Obama thinks the private sector is "doing fine" and that America's businesses are built by government -- not hard-working Americans. I think the President is extraordinarily out of touch with how America's economy works and with how individuals pursuing their dreams have built America.

We've had enough of this out-of-touch president's damaging policies and offensive philosophy -- and that's why we are going to put him out of office in November.
