Here's the first thing Mitt Romney said to his supporters this morning:

"Victory is in Sight."

There are two lessons we all need to take away from the last few weeks:

1 Anything can happen in a presidential race

2 This has always been a close election, and will remain a close election until the moment we win

For 18 months, we've been doing the real work of talking to voters and building a grassroots operation in neighborhoods all across the country.

That work is how we win, and it's powered directly by millions of people like you.

If you can make a donation of $X or more to build this campaign right now, please do it. Resources now are worth a lot more than they will be later on:

Or, if you can't chip in today, sign up to volunteer -- head on over to Dashboard and get to work in our online field office:

Mitt Romney may think he can see victory from his backyard. With 33 days to go, we're going to keep our eye on the ball.
