Did you watch the debate on Tuesday? If I had to guess, you were on the edge of your seat, snacking nervously, cheering the President on – and maybe yelling at the screen once in a while. Well, the President came through, big time.

But now the tables are turned. No, President Obama isn't sitting on his couch with a bowl of popcorn tweeting about you while you read this email. But just like we were counting on him on Tuesday, he's counting on you today – counting on you to help him win and prevent a Republican takeover of the Senate.

And here's the difference: You can't influence a debate from the comfort of your couch. But you can decide an election – if you act right now.

Can you contribute $X immediately? For 12 hours only, we will triple match your gift. 6,473 donations to go.

Debates are important. But what's going to break the ties in critical states like Ohio and Wisconsin isn't something President Obama can say – it's something you and only you can do.

That's why, even if he isn't yelling at the screen while you read this, the President is rooting for you to make a donation right now.

So remember: Fight like our future depends on it, work like there's no tomorrow, and give like the President's watching.

He delivered. Now it's our turn. Click here and do your part.

Everybody has a role to play in winning this. And right now, it's your turn to step up.
