Here's what we're building on: Democrats have out-registered Republicans in nearly every battleground state for the past three months.

In the last three months, we've registered more than 40,000 voters in Colorado, more than 40,000 voters in Pennsylvania, more than 60,000 voters in in Florida, and more than 75,000 in North Carolina.

Registration numbers as of October 11, 2012.

We've opened 798 field offices nationwide at least one in every state , compared to 295 for the other side.

Together, we're building the biggest grassroots organization in history.

This race is too close and the stakes are too high to let up now.

We've got 24 days left to finish what we started together.

Let's go.
