I hope you'll chip in what you can:

Tonight is one of the last fundraising deadlines of this campaign. It's also the most important one we've faced.

Show you're standing with Barack when it really matters -- donate $X or more now:

[url]

I've said before that being President doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are.

Barack is the same guy I fell in love with and married nearly 20 years ago. I didn't fall in love with him just because he's cute, smart, and funny -- though he is all

his decency, compassion, and conviction. Like me, he was raised to believe that success isn't about how much money you make, but how much of a difference you can make for other people.

That's the man who's leading our country forward, but he can't do it alone.

Donate $X or more before tonight's critical deadline:

This is Barack's last campaign. Thanks for everything you've done so far to support us, and everything you'll do over the next five weeks.

Obama for America

Traveling around the country, I've seen firsthand how far your contributions go and what they mean to this campaign.

Every time you chip in, you're saying that you have my husband's back -- and ensuring that this campaign's amazing organizers and volunteers around the country have the resources they need to win.

We have a big deadline at midnight tonight -- and it's the most important one we've had in this campaign. _Please make a donation of $X or more to support Barack today. _

Make no mistake, this election is already under way. People are already casting their votes, and the first debate is in just a few days.

Barack and I have been truly humbled by your support. Let's come together right now, before this major deadline, stronger than we ever have before.

Barack is counting on you:
