There�s only 8 hours left until we make our final budget decisions, so we�ll be blunt:

If undecided voters believe all these final TV ads attacking President Obama's record, we will lose. The only chance we've got is to get on the air, call out their lies, and get the facts to enough voters to win this election.

As of 4pm, we are $X short of what we need to fight Republican attacks before tonight's final ad buy deadline. We can't fall short on this one -- not now.

Donate before tonight's final ad buy deadline and we�ll triple-match your gift: Chip in $X or more to win a Democratic majority for President Obama.

The last thing we want is to wake up after Election Day wishing we'd done more to fight Republican attacks when we had the chance.

Donate $X or more right now -- when your donation will make the biggest difference.

Get this: We're 1,200 donations short of our BEST WEEK EVER!

That's certainly not the headline that Mitt Romney wanted going into the final week of this campaign.

Donate $X or more before midnight and your donation will be triple-matched.

I can't say it enough, thank you.
