Romney-Ryan Benjamin,

We are approaching our most important fundraising deadline yet at midnight on Sunday.

With roughly a month left until Election Day, every dollar is critical to helping Mitt and Paul, and conservatives across the country secure a victory.

Your donation will help us continue to close the Obama machine's fundraising advantage. We've already reduced that advantage from $X million to $X million.

Thanks to supporters like you, we've built a record-breaking ground operation. Indeed, a nationwide network of 73,000 hardworking volunteers has helped us reach 26 million voters and identify over 2 million swing voters.

That means we've made 6 times more phone calls and knocked on 16 times more doors than we did during the entire 2008 campaign. That's pretty incredible.

Your donation bolsters our pivotal ground game, which is essential for a win. It will also help us ramp up our Absentee Ballot and Early Vote Turnout programs and support our Election Day efforts overall.

We know that times are tough, and we understand the value of every dollar you donate. We know that a $X donation is the cost of a burger, a $X donation is the cost of a shirt, a $X donation is the cost of a restaurant meal, and a $X donation is the cost of a grocery trip.

These are sacrifices you're willing to make in order to invest in your children's and our country's future. And we can't even begin to tell you how grateful we are.

This is the most important election of our lifetime, and this is your opportunity to make a difference. Let's leave it all on the field.

We can't afford four more years of Barack Obama. With your help, we can ensure that Mitt, Paul, and the entire Republican team deliver a winning season -- and a real recovery -- donate today.

P.S. -- Donate $X today and you'll be automatically entered for a chance to experience debate night with the campaign.
